Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation

Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation, by Laura Silber and Allan Little, is an interesting book. I have not finished it yet, but some things seem to be missing. When writing about Laibach in the section about Slovenia they fail to mention some things about the band. I know that they cannot write about everything, but these things are important when talking about them. The name of the name was illegal when the band was formed, because it was the name used for Ljubljana during the Nazi occupation. Their first concerts were advertised without their name being used. The posters simply had a black cross with the date and location of the concert. Their use of fascist symbolism was not an embrace of the ideals of fascism. When writing about Bosnia-Herzegovina they neglect portions of the Bosnian  population. There is no mention of the Bosnians who were not Muslim. They, as did the Serbians in the conflict, act as if the only people in Bosnia were Serbians, Croats and Muslims. I know that there were Bosnian Christians, because I have met some of them who left Bosnia for their own safety. The writers of this book and others at the time acted as if these people did not exist. It makes me wonder what other pertinent information they might have omitted.

Silly Me

I need to stop being gullible. A man in Ireland was making promises to me on Facebook. I was skeptical, but I was starting to believe him. He said that he would let me have money to move to Ireland. I am not going to make a move without help, but I do not expect someone else to pay my way. I am not going to move to be with someone just because they claim to love me. Anyway, we talked on the phone through Facebook. He sounded sweet. He put on Facebook that we were engaged after talking to me in a sweet voice. Then as soon as we finished talking he blocked me on Facebook. I would prefer to go to Europe or Russia anyway. I just felt foolish for starting to believe his lies. I may go to Europe for a human rights organization or a social or political movement, but I am not going to make a big move to be with someone unless it is someone I have met in person and know very well. I am desperately looking for somewhere to go, but I am not that desperate. I am open to the idea of going to be someone's house pet or slave, but I do not want to rush into it. I am not giving up.
