hi all

i also was born and raised in austria, have also left for many reasons,
including the fact that austria has a tendency to react and act
xeno/culturo-phobic etc.

but to call for a boycot of austrian galleries and musea is, in my
opiononated opinion, the xact WRONG move - on the contrary, it would be
more adequate and useful to show that there is cultural activity and
especiallyt exchange that cannot be controlled by the
super-rightwingers...which brings me to the nxt point of crtitique of
roberts email:

the vote in austria was NOT for a revival of NaziAtti/Plati-tudes (which
the FPOe most certainly represents, dont get me wrong, they r evil) but
much more AGAINST the "socialist" and conservative party who have done a
mediocre and boring job in the last _13_ years - and the FPOe successfully
sold themselves as the CleanUpCrew - which the certainly r, but probably
not quite in the way even the avrg. redneck austrian would
prefer...anyways, ,it isnt helpful to make things worse than they already
r by posting paranoid polemics, me thinx.
