The Free Democratic Party (FDP) is one of the two smaller parties in the State of North-Rhine Westfalia (NRW), where I live. (The other small party is The Greens (Grüne)).
The FDP is in the opposition role in North-Rhine Westfalia (NRW) at the moment, together with the other big German party, the CDU.
Party leader of the FDP in the state of North-Rhine Westfalia is Mr. Andreas Pinkwart, a not very known politician, even to State residents.
Leader of the party in the State parliament is Mr. Ingo Wolf. He shares the same fate, i.e. not to be very known to State citizens outside of his party.
The upcoming State election for the North-Rhine Westfalian parliament will take place on Sunday, 22nd May, 2005.
In the 2000 elections, the FDP gained 721,558 votes. That's 9.8 % of all votes.
The writing on the election poster says:
Support (the education of) our children,
don't spend money on hard coal subvention.
Well, I should come to talk about the hard coal situation later.
On November 10th, 2004, members of the Canadian Cirque du Soleil took part in a so called General Audience with Pope John Paul II.
The clowns and artists of the Cirque du Soleil encorporate and stand for a kind of purity which is very similar to something usually described as real love. Would you agree ?
Today Pope John Paul II (18.5.1920 - 02.04.2005) was buried in
Vatican City, located within the City of Rome, Country: Italy, Continent: Europe, Planet: Earth, Solar System: Solar System, Galaxy: Milky Way,Universe.
More interesting information about the life and work of the deceased Pope John Paul II. can be found on his Vatican Homepage.
With the enumeration I'd just like to express:
- A human being seems miniscule and atomic in regard to the size of the universe.
- And god must be very occupied (if compared to a human) if he is truly in control of the universe.
From a scientific point of view, the human kind is most probably not the only intelligent being in the universe. From the macroscopic point of view, matter tends to self organize. And in regard to the interplay (or better symbiosis) between chaos and order, this results sooner or later in the evolution of some sort of intelligent life form such as the human being.
Therefore, other intelligent forms of life are imaginable and probable somewhere else in the universe. The love of god certainly also extends to these beings in the same way as it extends to the human race - in all areas.
However, does this diminish the meaning of the Pope on planet Earth ?
I think not ! The truth he believes in and enunciates remains a truth, no matter how big the universe might be and no matter how many other Popes there might be in other Solar Systems.
My Tropical Island is an artificial South Seas resort located some 40 km south of the German capital Berlin.
The dimensions of the dome are pretty impressing:
Length: 360 m
Width: 110 m
Heights: 107 m
Inside there's a tropical landscape with oceans, sceneries, beaches, slides and original houses. Actual natives built the houses who'd been out of their country on this occasion for the very first time.
You might wonder why the dome is that big ?
Well that's another story...
The city I live in is called Münster and is located in North-Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (this link's function is non-functional). It's one of the big student cities in Germany as I described earlier.
When you want to...* greet someone,* send some longing messages publicly* sell stuff* look for a room* look for a vacation or mini job
* and much more
...Münster's city magazine Na Dann is the address for you.Na dann can be translated as Well then!People arriving in Münster for studying or due to other jobs usually have some problems recognizing the utmost importance of the Na Dann. However, sooner or later, everyone gets it.Certainly one reason for not grasping its meaning at first, is based in its name Well then!Just imagine some senior student talking to a newbie and mentioning the Well then!:
I read today in the Well then! that someone was looking for a canary.
As you'll realize, most newbies fail to understand this somewhat cryptic sentence.
At best they understand something like...
I read today in the well, then that someone was looking for a canary ?!
...to be completed
Well, this is a little art shop in Münster, the comfy German town I live in. As you can see, we have the world in our shop windows.
I enjoy the look of that Christo art. Wish I could have seen the project in Central Park on my own. Well, it's a real luxury just going to New York for an art project. But... allright... people do things for lesser reasons.
