Never heard of Hallam. But then, I am not following the news. When "Fridays for future" arrived here, I was surprised by the masses joining the demonstrations and even more so, when my son and his comrades from school went to the Friday gatherings and the teachers and the school board was totally relaxed about it. Never before this happened that students were tolerated to be absent from school for political reasons.

I remember it well, for I had some debates with my son and told him: so, what is the purpose? Why are you going there? And from his answers I sensed that he just went because it was an adventure, a welcomed interruption from his daily life. The environmental motive was just a statement in order to sound politically correct. He cannot care about something which he does not understand yet and where all other peoples in the city seem not to care about the least bit. I laughed inwardly at the attempts from the school which decided to buy a piece of land and plant trees. It all seems like a giant PR-image campaign to soothe the hurt humans soul.

Leading figures of this and that come and go. I am beyond the state of giving them too much attention.
