Re: [d-europe] Re: [WDDM] Parties and Politics

Dear friends,
A party for DD is different from any other party, as long DD is really
practice within that party. Einsteins message cannot apply in this context.
But a party for DD is a difficult task and needs permanent selfrenewal. In
other words it needs a strong nucleus of very competent and devoted
DD-freaks and also a very good internal constitution.

Hi Maria Ivanova,

Albert Einstein is said he stated :

"We cannot solve the problems of a system
by using the tools of  the same system
that originated them".

I guess, all the ideas sound good for critical discussion --
yet I wholeheartedly appreciate the clear fact that your
Academy sees no way to create a DD political party.

Cheers,

antonio
