the two days’ seminar is brussels for the th!nkaboutit-bloggers was just finished.
me i was locked up in my hotel room, packing up for tomorrow morning’s train. 6:59 - unbelievably early.
tryied hard to organise my thoughts: what did i get out of this trip?
(no sightseeing, obviously. that’s a shame though. at the last moment i could i still grabbed a waffel and a pommes de frit, just to be able to say: i at least ate brussels, if i did not see brussels.)
the most important experience is about the very people running the institutions there, in Brussels.
briefly: all of them are totally concerned of their relevance. and this undoubted selftrust closes them up in their minds.
i only saw it before in amongst hungarian mainstream journalists, and thought, it’s tipical of these people. bot now i found: NO. it’s tipical of the position of being in power.
i don’t think bloggers are supposed to act like journalists. (at least i don’t read blogs like that - i don’t read news sites or paper either.) the point in blogginig is that it doesn’t act like the (share)holder of the ultimate truth, it just talks for itself. that’s why it’s trustible - and that’s why it’ relevant.
that’s why we th!nkbloggers do have a task. streching the tight borders of the established minds, which think our world.
we gotta look closer and see what we see

I like your post - and the pictures. I think blogging is like thinking aloud, sharing thoughts. The people in power often are stressed and deaf by the structures they have to function in. In Germany, politicians once had to answer a questionnaire and were asked to give the price for a bus ticket. And hardly anyone knew! Let’s bring real life to politics!
