		<description>Everybody has his or her troubles. Some people survive upon 1 dollar per day (or less). Some have crippling illnesses like AIDS. Some others have been experiencing violence quite too often, and a large number of them decided that they had too much of it and decided to flee their homes and become refugees. All of these and much more have suffered a lot, and their stories are worth telling, no doubt, if someone has the patience to read all of them.

Of all of those people though, there is one person who has more right to complain than anybody else to make fuss and complain than our friend, Zanatos, who has suffered enormously because of the evil Greek bureaucracy. This evil Greek bureaucracy is the most evil of all, because it has imposed upon a large number of Greek civilians enormous hurdles and keeps harassing us with the slightest possible excuse, like the case of the hurricane "passports", that caused a large number of casualties, and even more people became homeless.

One should also note the total inefficiency of the local politicians and bureacrats who failed to informed the public and grounded all those school buses instead of mobilizing them to evacuate the people, not to mention the total waste of the public funds that were supposed to relief those who were stricken by the hurricane.

To be honest, I should have made a blog and post my own grievances about the "passport saga". I had to make a new I.D. card and a new passport, both of them necessary because the U.S.A. won't let us enter their soil without VISA with our old passports, because they were "unsafe". My new papers state a different birthdate from the old ones (the old were correct!!!) and once again the wrong height, while my old surname is butchered the same way as well. Nevertheless, the evil bureaucracy of the U.S.A. still refuses to allow us without a VISA (not that I care since my VISA is in my seamans' book anyway). But now, I have finally awakened! I demand from you DD to stop posting all these nonsence about the suffering of the Roma, the AIDS sufferers, the abused women and all that nonsense, and concentrate all of your efforts at publishing Zanatos' story about the sufferings of the Greek people because of the Greek bureaucracy or else...

P.S.

Once you come closer to my friend Zanatos, you might be able to learn a few more useful things like his travels to a neighboring country for entertainment purposes, that he makes no direct  whatsoever. I presume that does not want to be associated with "Bulgary" and her fancy female escorts. He might also speak to you about the need to spread the gospel (also known as "The Economist") and its' views that the war in Iraq was necessary, (as long as our kids are not fighting there) and other important truths that you seem to elude your attention.

Next, an interview with Borat...</description>
