Too much to put in one title

There are so many different things on my mind today that I couldn't even create a title for them.
For one thing, Apartheid officially ended in South Africa ten years ago.
Yeah right. Just change some laws and people won't think what they have thought for decades. So maybe there isn't a law saying that black people are not allowed to sit in the park, or ride the bus or whatever. But that doesn't mean that white South Africans stopped believing in that. It will take generations to really change. Kids have to grow up without hearing that they are more important thansomebody else just because of the color of their skin. That means that their parents and grandparents have to believe in the equality of the races, too. And that means the kids born in the last ten years most likely have to be grandparents before the end of Apartheid can be seen. And even then there will be some people who still believe that segregation is a good idea.
I can see something similar in Germany. It has been almost 50 years since the end of WWII, but there are so many people around who actually believe that Hitler was not that bad after all. That's a minority, but they still exist. Most people, though, are very careful to be politically correct. That means that in Germany, you should not say aloud that you don't like a person if that person happens to be of foreign origin. It also means that you can't critizise the politics of Israel without being called anti-Semitic.
Germans are so eager in blaming themselves for anything bad going on in the world, it would be ridiculous if it wasn't so sad. I think that habit, which also goes along with trying to be as unpatriotic as possible (some Germans are actually proud of not knowing our National Anthem), has led many young people to rebel against this way of life. Leading them closer to some old admirers of Adolf Hitler.
I guess as long as we don't start talking about Nazi times opnely and get a real discussion going, we will never be able to move on.
Maybe I just don't know about it, but I don't see a huge discussion in the USA about slavery, or in Great Britain about colonial times. So why is it that the Germans always apologize without anybody asking them to? That is no way to live in a nation. You need to develop some kind of patriotism. And German history really is much more than 1933 to 1945.

The other thing that really bothers me this morning is much less solemn.
It's a library thing again. I'm trying to search the Online Catalogue of a large public library. But I can't. Because they allow only a certain number of WWW-access at the same time. And that number is - 10.
Now how ridiculous is that? You don't allow more than 10 people to search your catalogue at the same time???
And this is the town that wanted to get the Olympic Games 2012 for Germany. Maybe it was good we lost. I guess this town would have never been able to manage that amount of people to come and visit. (Michael, I know we talked about that - now don't tell me 'Told ya so...')

I should be learning. But I don't feel like it.
I should be practicing the piece of music I want to play at my sister's wedding. But I don't feel like it.
I should do some housework. But - you might have guessed - I don't feel like it.
Oh, well, get going! Switch off the Computer and do something. Anything.
I guess I'll take my own advice for once.
I don't feel like writing anything else anyway, so it really doesn't matter.
