Life is all about politics. If we keep our eyes off we will be the losers.
The so-called environmentalists, animal protectors and else are highly
politic. And politicians tend to follow the loudest voice as they think its
the voice of the majority.

We have a severe struggle in Germany since 1986 and it goes on and on. We4ve
not lost, though, but we didn4t win either.
