One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others of the Day: Hint: It’s the one with the cover story about how it’s completely okay, if not beneficial, to feel unease about future uncertainties, as opposed to, say, riot in the streets until sh*t gets done.

So today is the anniversary of the Berlin Wall coming down. Many years after this aired, I still thought the Chipmunks were the cause.
I’m absolutely shocked that Berlusconi survived his confidence vote this week. Is there any surprise at all that the Occupy Rome movement turned violent? Berlusconi defines corrupt Government and corporate greed.
Via the Toronto Star:
A poster showing Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi and reading “Hurl the shoe to Silvio” is seen in Rome, Saturday, Oct. 15, 2011. Italian police fired tear gas and water cannons as protesters in Rome turned a demonstration against corporate greed into a riot.
A friend of mine just posted a great article on Facebook about Iceland’s political landscape and their revolution over the past fews years. The article is definitely worth the few minutes out of your day to read.
As my friend said “”..Remember when Iceland was an example for the world of how bad the economic collapse was going to get? Well it looks like now they want to be an example for how much better things can be made.”
