define: economy
To me, the word "economy" covers all the sciences and techniques facilitating the comprehension of a system or an activity (ie individual, society, company, living organism...).
Economy can use mathematics, social sciences, history, psychology, ethnology... you name it.
That's what makes its charm, and the reason why I chose this path instead of more hemiplegic studies (back then, it was either "sciences" or "literature").
Like politics, economy is fundamentally noble, but reality a slightly different matter. We shall win over nowadays depression only by opening ourselves up to economy, not by trying to elude it because we forgot what it means for the future of this planet (see "This is not a financial crisis").

define: blogule
blogule (blä-gyül) : noun (Etymology: French, diminutive of blog - Created: late 1990s early 2000s) - a small blog. blogules are not bits of wisdom but useless series of words emitted by the author when he needs to purge himself.
"Blogules" are, as you may have guessed, small blogs. Some are red, rather aggressive but nourishing. Some are white, more of the "slomo" kind, but also profitable for the organism. Stephane MOT march 2003

On writing short stories
I write stories which happen to be short.
I don't feel a need to tell more than needed. It would be like adding water to wine.
To me, format is not a key issue. It's just like painting : when you're mentioning the size of a frame, you're into advertizing or home improvement.

On poverty and violence
20070611
(answer to the question "Poverty generates violence: true or false?")
I always distinguish poverty from despair. Poverty can be measured, and some people manage to live happily with only a few things. Despair is what people actually feel. More than poverty, despair and injustice lead to violence, and moreover, violence generates violence. The initial violence can be either physical or psychological, and great injustice is a kind of violence.
Hopelessness makes people do extreme things. You cannot repair injustice but have some impact, make yourself be heard. With the help of often cynical manipulators, you can be turned into a suicide bomber : your suffering stops, you make other people suffer, you have an impact and you make yourself be heard in a final kaboom.
