Why you are so determined that society must be politicaly active? Is it some requirement to be a human being or something?It's... kind of a requirement for a functioning society, yes. The more people that are aware of and active in regards to what their country is doing, generally the less likely said country is going to go off the metaphorical rails.

Bit back in the discussion, but is it wrong to be somewhat confused by how different a message this post and and this one gives? Gogis says no decline, ivze says steady, nearly omnipresent erosion. From same nation, even, but very different views.
I'm kinda sad about the way the Ukrainian government seems to have been totally sidelined in the recent stuff. You only hear about the EU, US and Russia hashing it out, like we're at the congress of Vienna again.What can the Ukrainian government actually do at this point?
