quite accidently I am in Barcelona these days (World Conference on chemical engineering wcce10.org ) IT is quite something to be in the midst of the demonstartions. The question is always: what will happen next. As of now the demonstartions are loud but peaceful and the police is more trying to lead the traffic around...hopefully it will stay this way.

I cannot help but think that a disintegrating Europe is to the benefit of US, Russia, China ..
it would be naïve to think that one or all are financing such disintegration.
