Today would have been my uncle, Lutz Barthel‘s 63rd birthday.

Every year, on this day, I would make sure that I was near a phone so that I could call him, and wish him.

Today, I have to go to a place of prayer instead.

Onkel Lutzi, I miss you.

Today is also a day of decisions – the day when the citizens of the United States of America will decide whether they support the continued “War of Terror” (and disruption of world peace) by their administration, or whether they would rather be part of our world’s family, and live in peace and without fear, and with respect and dignity.

Please , people, make the right decision.

For everyone’s sake.
