Was just driving by the Parliament last night and saw a few people crammed together, holding national flags and looking very serious. Apparently, this was the small group of demonstrators who did not give up standing outside the Parliament. Remember, a month or so ago there was a lot more people swearing that they would die there rather than go home, unless Ferenc Gyurcsany, the Hungarian Prime Minister, resigns. Where were those people last night? Watching Desperate Housewives on TV2, I reckon.
Sic transit gloria mundi. This whole thing demonstrates that it really takes a lot of dedication and will power to stand by the things you believe in for more than a week. Still, the demonstrators last night gave me the impression of simply being fanatics, rather than devoted patriots. But who knows, perhaps all revolutionaries are like that from up close and only distance in time makes them look graceful and brave.
