With the flow of waffles remaining unaffected, I have not given even a passing thought to the going-ons in Belgium.<br /><br />On a serious note, it is just one more example of how dramatically the world is changing. Damn you Hulme! Now I am forced to keep (at least passing) tabs on another area in the world. I will admit, however, that Belgium will probably only be on my monthly "check-in" list until something dramatic happens.<br /><br />Intriguing post my friend. Keep it up!J.M.

I read it on Wikileaks. ;-)<br /><br />You're absolutely right - that goddamn Belgians can't even have a secession without it being civilized! <br /><br />As long as this doesn't affect the production of Leffe or Tintin merchandise, I shall remain unaffected.Roland Hulmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979437320446956987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-73467320837826051852011-02-18T09:38:35.809-08:002011-02-18T09:38:35.809-08:00I've been following this for several years now...I've been following this for several years now. <br /><br />That being said, is there any reason to care, aside from trivia interest? I mean, I can't think of any product I buy that's made in Belgium - but even if there was, it doesn't seem like the crisis is effecting that in any way.<br /><br />The country might split up - but if it does, it will likely be relatively peaceful, with little more than riots - and in mainland Europe, riots are a dime a dozen. <br /><br />The middle east is more important, since there is an important commodity we buy there, and there are a lot of people there who want to kill us.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15627620365250257036noreply@blogger.com
