country are a mountain ke vale.  First problem is the economic.  There
cymvainei the great bahalo.  Plethora parohon and tourlou-tourlou
diorismon, together with remoules and other scandals makes this land to
be not land but bordello.  Bate dogs aleste, eat the psomi and leave in
the others the pitoura.  For that logos must to paroume metra
litotitas.  With other words, take it Liza and make it corniza.  She's
gone the season of eyphoria now is the time of eforia.  Give oti have
efharistisi because to magazi tha valei louketo.  That forological
dahntirdi, na plironoun ta koroida ke i ponires fatsoules na tin
kanoyne lamogia den go allo.  This little afxisoules pou tha fate sti
mapa are aparaitites to stand on her feet Hellas, diaforetika to be
continue na in artzi, bourtzi and Loulas ... >>
