Well, I usually am not very po­li­ti­cal. But re­cently, so­meone poin­ted out the mil­le­nium cam­paign (“joint ef­fort against po­verty”) to me. This is the Swiss web­site, this is the Ger­man ver­sion, and here is ano­ther site about it. I think the eight goals of the cam­paign make sense, even if some of the things are dis­pu­ta­ble. For example, I can’t get rid of the fee­ling, that de­ve­lop­ment aid is fu­tile, ex­cept for fil­ling the po­ckets of cor­rupt go­vern­ment clerks or sup­porting or­ga­ni­zed crime. No­nethe­l­ess, it should be tried over and over, since in­justice and op­por­tu­nity un­equal­ness is still so bla­tant throug­hout the world.

At least, there is a little gleam of hope. The elec­tions in the united sta­tes of ame­rica that have just come to pass have made the worst re­pu­bli­can party mem­bers lose their power and gi­ves the de­mo­crat party a chance to prove the world, that bet­ter ways are possible.

I re­com­mend par­ti­ci­pa­ting in the mil­le­nium cam­paign and sup­port its goals.
