No blood for cliché
At least Albrecht had the imagination to come up a slogan other than "No blood for oil". The majority of the Munich demonstrators opted for the cliché. Many of them drive cars and most of them are now on the way back to their cosy dwellings, oil-heated, of course. I asked a few if they thought there was a relationship between the security of oil supplies and their own obvious affluence, but they acted as if they'd been insulted. Those who should feel insulted, however, are those who shun cliché and try to join the dots between foreign policy, security and, yes, energy supplies. Obviously, freedom is more complicated than the slogan makers can comprehend.
