To tell you the truth, those reasons amplified in recent years. One reason very likely are my prolonged summer vacations in Croatia. Plus, being retired, which means not being daily under professional bred making pressure, I devote a lot of time thinking about Croatia, about Croatian state and Croatian people.

In short, there is absolutely nothing good on the horizon - above, behind or around - as an inner guide of Croatian people to civil democracy. And this is not because of an irresponsible government alone. Nothing good could be expected without a fundamental change of the integrity, credibility, faiths, and ethics of the citizenry. But Croatia, while pretending to follow technological progress of the European countries, increasingly turns to own past for the cultural and political restoration of the society. A nice idea when you have something worthful to restore but not Croatian folklore and historical fairy tales.

I could list a lot of examples, yet just one today, in four stages: (1) The Prime Minister goes to jail because of corruption and extortion; (2) his Cabinet does not resign; (3) Parliament does not recall the Cabinet; (4) people do not protest on the streets - a certain level of laying and cheating is widely acceptable.
