I don't think there is anything wrong in conceding that we live in a banana republic. _____'s reliance on the we-take-less policy; _____ getting mad like _____; the time _____ dipped his hand into the public wallet and removed an unprecedented amount of money; _____ excess - need I write more.

It doesn't even matter that as a result of _____ this will one day become a republic, because we are not there.

The Romans had highways and we don't, so this is not a republic. When a lifeline connects this _____ kilometer geography, we'll have a national day (and a party). Until then, we'll have to accept that a business deal and a flag are not much of an accomplishment; they are as insufficient as politeness expressed exclusively in the company of foreigners.

I'm a little upset with our _____ because he had been doing a good job on communicating with the _____ sector and ensuring respect for the _____ language but he promised reform - and Sweet _____ are the options ever out there - and we don't have reform. Instead this republic's government continues to feed on petty infractions, like dudes who steal handbags from old ladies in _____. Credit should be given to _____ for identifying _____ business clearly.

Let's not lie to ourselves: it is mainly a generational problem. But the crisis is melting the cement of incompetence and a layer of dead weight is being washed away. It now looks like _____ will take another giant step forward; a marathon crisis during which we will find out which citizens have the capacity to appreciate the value of sharing.

_____ is important. When, instead of _____, young people confused by this republic shave their heads like slaves and prisoners, and march around _____ celebrating a day which symbolizes fear and failure, time is wasted. _____ doesn't get you a percentage and it doesn't matter (benefits of an honest life should not be underestimated, or misunderestimated, as a wiser man than all of us once said). And if you're under the age of _____, can say "Yes" "No", can use Windows 97 and money is your priority: do business the normal way (the money is much better). Just _____ once in a while. Let the old guys take their conflicts to the old people house.

If our government is not going to benefit from the crisis, _____ should.

Yes, I admit. Three weeks ago I tried to join _____. I emailed them to introduce myself and ask a question about membership; I copied two of their three website contacts (I thought three out of three would be overdoing it) - but I have received no news. What has our region come to when a regular guy can't join a Party anymore? Maybe they've received too many emails, like Michael Jackson's fan club received too many pre-registrations for 50 shows at the O2. I don't know.

_____ abandoned me on Saturday night, again. Maybe it's a sign.
