All the fuzz around..

Why now? Why not when it was needed? Vaclav Havel, our former president died just before Christmas. Now all the newspapers are writing about him which is good. But why now we want to claim Vaclav Havel as the man of the year? Why now we start to listen to his thoughts? Isnt it a bit late? Havel was for such project as united european nations, which truly is the european union, but nowadays (and it was also before the crisis) majority of the czech nation is against the union, mostly the parliament leading party. Why now we want to listen to thoughts which would be worth to think about before? We lost a unique person. People tend to recognize such 'things' not when they have them, but when they loose them.
