Yes, I'm proud of the ones doing it. Problem is, there are just as many bigots voting for the rightwing xenophobic party in Austria. Would that we had the same parties they have in Germany, where Xenophobic attitudes really are on the fringe and not represented in parliament.

Sometimes it is good to remember the half of the glass that is full rather than the half that is empty.

I like to think of the glass as just too tall.
