Politics And Fear

I don't like discussing politics at all, but in times like these where everybody is eager to spread his own opinion you can see some interesting things going around.

About a week ago I joined a Facebook page called We apologize for the 1,5 million dutch people that voted for Geert Wilders, even though I didn't totally agree with the title of this page, I saw it as a way to express my disappointment. Yes, there are many problems and concerns that has to be dealt with, but in my humble opinion Wilders (or the PVV) is not the solution. It's kind of sad to see many people really take a stand against the people who voted for this party, sometimes even denying all the issues that are obviously worrying a lot of people.

It actually looks like the people who joined this group are as scared for the Wilders and the PVV as Wilders and all their voters are scared for the islam or immigration.

Fear is the worst motivation in all cases.
