Politics

So had dinner with the neighbours. Didn't turn out at all as I thought. This is both good and bad. Good 'cause it's nice with surprises, bad 'cause of the topic.

We discussed politics. Big mistake. Not because we had different opinions about right or left, but because of his views.

Let me explain.

He thinks that the parents who sent their kids to the camp in Norway should have been aware of the risk of them being shot. He thinks the camp was political, and therefore risky.

I tried to tell him that I lived in that part of the world for more years than I care to remember, and that I might know a little bit more about democracy and why this could not have been anticipated, but to no avail.

Mind you, he grew up with Tito so references slightly different...
