Would you pay 790 euros to see the former USA president, Bill Clinton speaking in a seminar in Tampere Finland?
The question has quizzed me the last couple of weeks and in the past my reaction to a 790 euros ticket to listen to a politician speak would have definitely been a big NO.
Think of it, for some countries 790 euros is a monthly income of a family not to say a year’s income. And you would give the same amount to watch a politician giving a speech? And YES, I am thinking of it for one and only reason. George W. Bush. The man has managed to screw things so much so I would like to hear what a former American president has to say.
I remember very well Reagan’s era but back then however over conservative the American administration was, it was different times. The Russian bear was alive and even in the end when things started changing even Reagan himself started changing and making steps to global peace and international disarmament.
Nowadays? Is like a déjà vu with the worst times. George with the most impertinent way shows us that we count for nothing and we have to live under the American dominion. Especially the ‘old Europeans’ if we don’t bend to his demands we get the etiquette of cowards. You are with us or against us, and countries that made real the existence of the USA like France and Germany became the center of idiotic mocking and sarcasm from a country that forgot its roots. And history has taught us that there is nothing worst than to forget your roots.
Under these circumstances I think I would give these damn 790 euros just to make sure that there is still hope even if it comes from Bill Clinton even if that means that he will play his saxophone in the end!!!
