hi,

Interesting manifesto on negation as a resistant strategy - but there
is one sentence that really puzzles me., and I hope I got it wrong....

Do you actually propose an Iraq type of 'insurgency' in Denmark??

What do you mean here? Really - let's not be naive - there is
speculation that a lot of the conflict in Iraq is stirred up to
create an opaque situation in which the ownership relations of vital
resources in the country, contracting, access rights, distribution
arrangements can be restructured in a manner beneficial to certain
larger actors who are pursuing strategic objectives, and who actually
benefit from continued social unrest, chaos and civil-war conditions
(let's call them the 'Halliburton-type actors' for now, although
there might very well be more than one actor, and quite likely also
more than one agenda / interest pursued - the problem is that we (the
'general public') just don't know...).

So, anyway I hope I got it wrong and that you are looking for a less
violent and opaque solution...

bests,
eric
