          Nowadays about the gather speed of the communication, globalisation is achieve the most hide place of the world. From one side it’s not a bad thing, we can understand other culture easier, and throught this we can understand other peoples easier too. But in the other side, don’t we lose are own culture? If other cultures habits are overwrights are rules, we will forget who we are. Of course in certain aspect if the world will turn to be one culture, it will be easier to understand other people, but we will mislay the variegation of the world.

In my country after the change of the regime (after socialism) a many, generality american, firm found new market for themselfs, and the hungarian people were happy, because that means we opened are gates for the world. It seemed to be a good business. But after the first 20 years of the freedom my country realized this business wasn’t as good, as seemed. After a time we noticed we eat chinese garlic, slovenian milk, polish apple etc. We prefered McDonald’s better and we eat american trash in place of some healthy food. But we can produce this goods ourselfs and if do this, are economy will boom, and GDP too. If it happen, are well-being will progress, because the taxes will go to the hungarian canbinet and not to the foreign goverments.  

I have to see the globalisation is bad, but it’s necessary. Without this, we drop behind the other coutries. But we have to control it. We have to find the way, how we control the bad affects of our economy, but have to being with this because we have to be abreast with other countries for the good of development. It’s very difficult to carry out this. I discover it in my own pattern.

VERY GOOD EARS, MARTHA! Only that you should also check if what you hear and write does really make sense.. otherwise you end up writing things like from under her .. (velvet?)  gun she drew a girl and shoot her lover down... :)

Here is the original version:

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her love down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her upon the old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam......
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today

 to regret

“I would much rather have regrets about not doing what people said, than regretting not doing what my heart led me to and wondering what life had been like if I'd just been myself.”

'I regret to say that I do not have with me today ideas or proposals to lead the CD out of its current impasse,' US Ambassador Jackie W. Sanders address to the Conference on Disarmament, February 26
