Hypocrisy? Dreams of grandeur

Roman Polanski was arrested yesterday in Zurich, on his arrival at the airport to pick up a lifetime achievement award. The world of culture was immediately raised, with proclamations of solidarity and outrage. My first reaction was similar but not exactly for the same reasons. The alleged offenses date back to 1977 when Polanski had intercourse with a minor after sharing drugs and alcohol. The speech, if the victim was consenting-raised by advocates of same-director has no weight, being under age 13 and older.
So we want to do? Use two weights and two measures because the person in question is a genius modern cinema, or because the facts dating back 30 years ago? Forget the wounds of the past is impossible and certain events never fall in prescription. Or maybe you? If we assume that people change over the years, we can not help but hope that the director is nearly eighty released as soon as possible and to continue his life in peace of mind.
On the other hand, this case shows plots groundwater. The opportunism of the Swiss are surprising: the director has long been a French citizen and has long sought to appear before the U.S. courts. Switzerland also has much to be forgiven and has never been an example of political clarity. Opportunism is the word that comes to mind, cleverly hidden behind the neutrality of opportunism. If tax problems with UBS there are not, the arrest would almost seem like an act of good will. But the pressure on the U.S. is suspicious. Yes, Switzerland is suspect since its banks hide behind numbered accounts, secrets and treasures from all over Europe.
want to see that if Roman Polanski was presented in a false name (or just anagram), customs officers have turned a blind eye?

Greece is a delusion-European. I am attending a conference in Thessaloniki (ICAPS09) and for the first time I set foot in Greece. The first impression, getting off the plane, is to find in Naples Capodichino, however, as if it were 10 years ago when you had to walk the track to reach the terminal, even the heat is the same and on the bottom, to complete ' analogy, behind the town, a mountain of the same shape of the Somma-Vesuvius.

It seems that in the rush to join the rest of the Western world, have made a partial transition. The writings in English reveal desire to adapt to capitalism which here loses all meaning. "Free way" and "Beauty Shop", "Helen's and other stores by the foreign name sound like us, fake, except that here the contrast with the Greek characters traditionally used makes this more obvious aping.
homeland of Alexander and Philip, now Macedonia has committed itself not to spread its culture throughout the known world or conquer the great Persian Empire, now in Macedonia is committed to giving its name to universities, airports, bridges and schools to emphasize a "copyright" apparently usurped the Republic of Macedonia, not far from care and independent Greece.
In our immense tree-monolith in front of the bay, the conference went to the big time, offering meetings with old friends and buena onda to talk. Like that, the speculation of the '70s and even helped.
