I should be delighted that the European Union Court of Human Rights has ordered a compensation to the family of 105,000 Euros \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c the precision is jaw-dropping, why not as the British do add 3 Pounds and 3 pence for postage … or make it a Fiver if you feel generous today!<\/p>\n

There is a spine chilling sordidness about this news I find despicable \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c the shamelessness that any committee can decide the price of a priceless human being. For me, not even a billion is enough as a price tag for my friend Hrant Dink. As during the times of Slavery, there may soon arise a hierarchy of price tags \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c what price a Dr. Kelly, the British UN weapons inspector in Iraq? What\u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0084\u00a7s the price tag for Allende, the once democratically elected President of Peru murdered by now the self-confessed CIA braggarts? Should the European Court force our Mrs. Thatcher still alive pay the Compensation, as she was the defiant defender of the arch-murderer Pinochet, when he was arrested in London?<\/span><\/div>\n
In the Marxist system of Das Kapital, everything, but everything has a price \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c when it comes to Money \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009cmaking, there is no ethics, no common humane decencies; Profit is the only interest (pun intended!) of transactions. And I think it is this which makes me despise it \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c the commoditization of the human being, which is what gave rise to formal Slavery in the first place, and post-modern whoredom today. While I welcome the EU decision \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c it may even be a first in historical terms evaluating the dead (not only compensating the injured) \u0569\u00a7\u0549\u0082-\u0549\u0080\u009c I abhor its grand formalization of the capitalist commoditization of human beings. Hitherto the dead were commemorated in stone, public sculptures and poetry. Now, political assassinations are turned into a profitable business. And this sends chills down my spine.<\/span><\/div>\n
