Some very short comments on some important recent events.

Íngrid Betancourt rescued.
Finally after all these years, one can't imagine what she has been through. I am happy for her and her family.

The past week I really thought we were thrown back in time. Either that or that we were in the States. The political world, especially the christian parties were in schock, the reason? The dutch public television was going to broadcast the porn flick "Deep Throat".

I didn't think it was posible in this modern age that political parties would try to censor the media, especially not over a porn movie. Ofcourse a movie with a good dose of violence is alright. All the old arguments...
