World Politics, Music, Soccer,
Great believer in democracy and freedom of speech. Troubled by the over-ambitious politicians whose ill-thought off power play continuously impede the lives of current generation and the future of the younger people of many Third World countries. Am also amazed by the weakness and ineffectiveness of UN. The veto powers must be eliminated.
I am an ardent music lover especially of folk, Jazz and light classical music. Am a Babyboomer, so the music from the 60s is my love.
Have played soccer myself and get very immersed in soccer games from all regions especially Europe.
