Lighten up guys

Aug 06, 2008

In brief I find The Baltic Times most interesting. However,  there is a strong emphasis on the negatives (found in any region):  crime, corruption, interference by powerful neighbors, dwindling   population, loss of employment etc.

A continual diet of these stories may become a self fulfilling prophecy  as readers, (tourists, investors, workers, professionals, citizens) loose  courage, motivation and interest in the Baltic states. Estonia, Latvia  and Lithuania have a powerful positive story to tell the world - and  their own people, survival, achievement, success and a positive future. This is what I and  others want to read about.

Enough of this moaning about the problems. Tell us more of current progress, success and   reason for hope. People must have good reason to work, live, play, invest, visit, educate and contribute to society. Please tell us about 
them.
