Have you ever noticed more or less strange and/or simply annoying things in the everyday life? I have some examples of these SAMEL:s, and the more I write, the more I think of:
¤ WHY are most cords black? How many of actually have black floors, baseboards* or black walls? Hardly discreet.
¤ WHY do most skirts lack pockets? (in at least some they should be able to but a small pocket on the inside)
¤ WHY oh why do mosquitoes leave you with nothing but a almost painful scratching feeling after have stolen some of my blood?
¤ WHY do most nice looking shoes hurt like beep, especially in the summer?
¤ WHY don't all remote controls have something that makes it possible to locate it built-in?
¤ WHY ohhh whyyyy aren't all dishes self cleaning?
¤ WHY sitting in front of the computer hours and hours for several months (while writing a paper or something else) isn't half as painful for the shoulders and neck as having a paid job sitting in front of the computer?
¤ WHY the seats in the cinema always are seats for sitting, not everyone like to spend 1,5 h - 3 h sitting straights up? I never sit straight up and with both feet on the floor.
¤ WHY does everyone "expect" everyone to drink a bitter drink that isn't even healthy? (coffee)
¤ WHY is the glue on post-it notes often so bad?
¤ WHY is it so hard to make sure that you (I) are (am) in the same country as the best friend?
¤ WHY are there so many interesting things to read (books, magazines, news papers) and so little time?
¤ WHY are the tastiest and most fun things often bad for you?

If you have anything to add, just write a comment about it. All these things are probably what could be called "I-landsproblem" ;-) (problems for the industrialized world)

Dear Natasja, whoever you are!
I have read Your blogg for some weeks and have found out that You are a woman with conscience and commitment, that You are a person prepared to fight against injustice and for human rights not only in Sweden. Go on with that, even if it is not so popular all the time. Sometimes one even can loose friends, I know that by myself. But it is far better to have a good conscience than do everything to be popular everywhere.
Yes ,some of your "problems in the n ewest bloggarticle are really "I-landsproblems".

Whoever you are, thank you for those words!
Yes, there are enough things that causes bad conscience, adding to that concerning what really matters to you is just too much, at least for me. It's an ongoing struggle...
