bad old habits are creeping in

In Europe we may bring back historical facts back to our minds when reacting to the economical crisis. What happened in the thirties after the breakdown of the economy:
- intolerance was on the raise
- sovereignty of countries was put under discussion
- means to secure commodities were becoming more brutal (occupation, war, etc.)
- xenophobia and protectionism got acceptable in society
It is important to remember were this all lead into. So it is absolutely necessary now to stop thinking about securing our wealth in the first order but to prevent deterioration of relationships between people and countries.
