It’s been a while, I know. Longer than I would have liked, but other things kept me busy to the point where I almost forgot the existence of this blog. But not anymore, for here on Iceland behind my 56k modem on an obscure german labtop I’m striking back. Yeah.

Well, the other day I got a comment on an old article I once wrote about some annoyances I have with our modern democracy. While most of the comments seems to protest u.s. foreign politics, one reader did post an interesting link to a project called Why Democracy?. This project have gathered film instructors from all over the world to make 10 documentaries focused on the meanings and problems of modern democracy.

The purpose of the project is to spur discussion and debate about our idea of democracy and looks very intriguing. All this will unfold in October this year.
