25.3 was the day of unborn children. Our humanity is selective and our love is conditional - young and defenceless lives are not protected.

Still about Mr. Jobs: he changed people's lives the way no politician could do. In what kind of society could he blossom? Hardly in the EU.

'We had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Now we have no cash, no hope and no jobs'. It is not true - we do have hope for 2012!

The whole family picking olives today in sunny weather. For once I'm doing real work... My wage won't be high but the oil will taste good

Failures in foreign policy are measured in human suffering. It's comparable to high treason that Finland still does not belong to Nato.

I watched 'The unknown soldier' (by Edvin Laine 1955) with my family. It's Finnish heritage - it reminds us of the price of our freedom.

Good Christmas to everyone! The most important birthday of the year.Also the day when I got engaged in Tuupovaara long ago - my lucky day!

HS:n rakastelukuva saapui Provenceen. Looginen jatko perhelehden kiroilulinjalle? HS:n kaikkivoipaisuus on sumentanut sopivan rajat?

Sorry, I forgot one leader: President Ilves. He is a modern thinker who reacts to the changing world. Estonia is bigger than its size.

We have lost Vaclav Havel. He fought for liberty till his last breath. Where are such leaders today? Nowhere in the EU, least in Finland.

After Winter Solstice my regularly irregular tweets will also add light to your day. (humor will extend your laugh...)

France supported Ben Ali till the end, EU thinks wishfully about Belarus. We please the rulers, not people. New form of 'Finlandization'.

Finally 'Ben a Vie' did not stay in power for life. Peoples thirst for democracy and liberty was stronger than Ben Ali's iron fist.

'Money can't buy you happiness... but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.' Spike Milligan

BRIC is now BRICSA - South Africa is in. Excellent! The country has big potential but does it have the wisdom to retain the Mandela-legacy?

Food for thought:'African boy asks his mum - why don't we ever have a white Christmas? Mum: white man has Christmas every day.' Cape Argus.

I promised my tweets to be regularly irregular... Wishing you tailwind and enriching moments for this year! And remember to drive safely.

When you have been in a shanty town/ mud hut in Africa you know what poverty and misery is. We do not seem to live on the same planet.

Last night I flew over Burkina Faso.The 1st country to start meningitis vaccination.(M&Mme Gates pay) Half $/one life. Nr 1 humanity issue!

UK has the lowest temperatures since 1910 and Belgium has more snow than 1945. After Cancun rdv the world temperature is controlled...
