When? Where? Who? I wouldn´t wonder, if you would have learned history in roman
ia.
OK, let´s start putting things into points:
1. The hungarian revolution of 1848 against the Austrian has been a result of
the fact, that the Austrian ruler did not follow the principles of St.Istvan
any more.
The Hungarians couldn´t accept that. This shows, that they accepted it all t
he centuries
before.
2. The Hungarian authorities did not trate especially the Romanians for centuri
es, but it is
true, that all over Europe each authority trated the "working people" of his
own country.
So did the Hungarian authorities too. On your side you have had rulers like
"Dracula" that
time. Just remember: Many romanians came to Transsylvania, because of the be
tter Life there.
They always had to be afraid of their own rulers. ( There is no difference t
oday ).
3. Would you say, U.S.A. belongs to the Red Indians? I would, but this does not
help them
any more. They are dead. Europeans are bestialic animals. And even today, th
e Red Indians
don´t get any rights.

I am really sorry about your grand-parents, but don´t forget: The king was Aust
rian.
The Austrian politics concentrated on "assimilating" minorities. This was the b
eginning of a
very dark period in history, which is still going on.
And: your grand-parents left 1907. Why not 907 or 1207 or 1407 or 1607?
They have had a "long breath".

Yes, this is, what your government is doing very professional.

I really like the way you think. I am seriously looking for a friendship betwee
n
Hungarians and Romanians. I know a few elder Romanians, who told me, that in th
e
past, the Hungarians and Romanians liked each other. The problem is, that
we are both "prepared" for fighting against each other.
Romania could be a very rich country, just like Hungary has been for centuries,
but your politicians doesn´t want you to be rich. They will keep on working on
the fight between the minorities in your country, because this is their firewal
l
against the "poor people" there. Let the people fight against each other, so th
ey won´t
fight against you. This is the reason for so much desinformation. I think you k
now that.
The main point is not, what has been in the past, because I did not live there
that time.
But the main point is, what we can do now better, and how should we work for a
better
future. We could learn from history, but first we should know, which history is
true.
bye,
John

All I have to say is: You people are making this Hungarian hungry!!
By the way, my supplier of Csabai, Gyulai, and te'li szalami is
Bende and Sons Salami Company, in the northwest suburbs of
Chicago, Illinois, USA. Excellent stuff, all made on the premises
by Mr. Bende himself. They take mail orders. (I have no connection
with this company other than as a customer.)
