I am trying to locate a book that was published in Hungary in the early
'90s.  If you, or someone you know of can help in locating a Hungarian
book, I'd love to hear from you.  E-Mail me at 
and we can discuss the details.

Thanks!

My posting on this subject yesterday apparently was not clear, so let me
try again to make my point about the privatization of the Hungarian
Electric Utility:

I do not wish to take a side in the privatization argument, I do not know
enough about it. It is basically an economic, rather than engineering
issue. I only expressed an opinion that a desire for more reliable service
is a poor argument for privatization. In an interconnected power systems
every member utility must meet the standards of the pool, hence there can
not be significant difference between the service of the member systems.

In the USA there are many private an public utilities, so a comparison
could be made of the reliability of service they provide. I do not have the
statistics to prove it, but based of many years of professional contacts
with these utilities, my assumption is that the public utilities give a
somewhat better service. They tend to "gold plate" their equipment.

The other factor is the cost of power. In yesterdays's Globe and Mail the
Power Workers union, in a full page ad made the following claims:

* "In the U.S., residential customers of privately owned utilities pay, on
   the average, 33% higher energy rates than residential customers of U.S.
   public utilities."

* In Great Britain the "the Conservative government told the public that
  the private sector could run the electricity system better and more
  efficiently. They promised lower rates. The awful truth, according an
  Oxford University study, is that U.K. rates are at least 20% higher than
  they would have been under the former public ownership."

* ".. the top 100 managers in the newly privatized U.K. electricity
  system became overnight millionaires, with 200% pay raises and huge stock
  options."

These and many other similar arguments leads me to believe, that one can be
a "firm believer in private ownership of companies" and still see, that
there are exceptions to the rule. In industries, which are inherently
monopolistic, the private ownership not necessarily benefiting the consumer.
I would very much like to read how the socialist Hungarian Government
explained to the public the decision to privatize the MVM.

My reference was to Hungarian terms, Hungarian tradition, Hungarian
practice. Of course, English books do use the term 'revolution', so I
have no quarrel with that. By Marxist schoolbooks I meant Hungarian
textbooks printed in Hungarian in Communist Hungary for Hungarian use.

I cannot prove (perhaps I could, but I haven't the time, sorry), that the
Western press borrowed the term 'freedom fighter' from the Hungarians.
But I am fairly certain that western reporters stated that the Hungarians
were calling themselves 'freedom fighters' or 'Freiheitskaempfer' - and
certainly not 'revolutionaries', as early as the week of Oct. 23, 1956.

As to whether Hungary was or was not a part of this or that empire - that
depends on how you look at it. I repeat my original contention: the
existence of Hungary as an independent legal entity was never in doubt
either in 1848/49 or in 1956. In the first instance, the Hungarian kingdom
was still the Hungarian kingdom in spite of every abuse, and not Austria;
in 1956, too, Hungary was a sovereign country de jure, and recognized as
such internationally, even if, de facto, it was controlled by a foreign
power. It was never part of the Soviet empire in the same sense as, say,
 Austria was integrated into the Reich, or Mexico was a Spanish colony.

Andras Kornai makes the obvious guess about the person posting as
"":

> I think Andra1s Pellionisz writes this stuff. Apparently he needs to
> create a virtual supporter of his position.

This may be the truth, but not the whole truth.  "Dr Pellionisz" and
"Szucs" indeed have many things in common: their writing styles, their
peculiar logic, and their shared aversion to grammar.  They seem to share
memories of past events.  They may even share a single body, and a single
brain, for all we know.  But that does not necessarily mean the two are
the same person.  The relationship appears to be more complicated.  It is
possible that "Dr Pellionisz" is only faintly aware of the existence
of "Szucs", and vice versa.  The medical term for this condition is
Dissociative Identity Disorder.  The shorthand name used in psychiatric
circles is FUBB.

It is one of the features of Dissociative Identity Disorder that
alternative identities assume control in sequence, deny knowledge of one
another, or even appear to be in open conflict.  Each of the identities
suffers from some degree of amnesia, but the relationship tends to be
asymmetrical.  "Szucs" mentions his mentor "Dr Pellionisz" in a reverent
whisper.  Of the two, "Dr Pellionisz" is the more hostile and controlling
identity.  "Szucs" seems worried about disapproval by "Dr Pellionisz", who
may be continually asserting control in the form of visual or auditory
hallucinations.  "Dr Pellionisz" is the one seized with notions of
"scientific" status and "prizes".  "Szucs" is the subordinate identity,
less verbally inhibited than "Dr Pellionisz", perhaps because he has a
constant need to prove his loyalty by 'overfulfilling the plan', and
thereby avoiding the wrath of the dreaded "Dr Pellionisz".

Half of the reported cases of Dissociative Identity Disorder involve
individuals with 10 identities or more.  So expect more siliconvalley.com
users to pipe up any minute now.  That's the bad news.  The good news is
that even the most serious cases of Dissociative Identity Disorder are
controllable these days.  Lots of excellent antipsychotic drugs have come
on the market in recent years.  So don't give up.  There is hope.

To the manager of the list:  A couple weeks ago I requested that you put out a
query to the group asking if anyone knows of environmental organizations in
Hungary.  I never saw my query go out on the net, but now I see a couple querie
s
of people seeking info about Hungary.  Can you please confirm to me that my
query was posted.  If not, please repost my query:  I am seeking information
about environmental non-profit organizations in Hungary.  Please address your
responses to Doris Rubenstein, Univ. of MN, 123 Snyder Hall, St. Paul, MN 55108
.
.  Thanks.

i am not sure what qualifies the appendage of the letters "QC" to
his name, for it was claimed on this newsgroup that the person in

a solicitor *cannot* be a queen's (or king's) counsel. only those
admitted to the bar, i.e. barristers, may take silk, i.e. become
queen's or king's counsel. in fact, in new south wales, the title
is no longer issued. the entire classification was terminated, albeit
reintroduced recently in the form of "senior counsel". i previously
asked for clarification of the persons formal legal qualifications.
the lack of a definitive answer increases the urgency of the question.

: Calling him just a run-of-the-mill lawyer comes perilously close to

what are his formal qualifications and when were they invested and
by whom?

Eva Balogh;you wrote,you don't understand what I meant,when I said:
"Private ownership would require a much higher level of equity,as opposed
to debt,and the equity would have to earn a return at least 5-6 percentage
points higher than the interest on the debt."(so you can pay the loan back)
Say,you invest $ 500,000.00 in a business.You expect a(minimum of)6% return
ON YOUR MONEY.Then you borrow an other $500,000.00 for this business.You
expect a return from this business to pay for the INTEREST ON THIS LOAN,plus
you expect a return from the business to pay back the BORROWED MONEY,say in
15 years.You can figure it out how much money you have to make with
$1,000,000.00 investment,a lot! So,when you want to buy an Electric Co.you
must pay a large amount of money of your OWN,plus you borrow the rest of it,
otherwise you won't stay in business too long.This is why,the Hungarian
ratepayer will pay a much higher price for the use of electricity.
Eva,I don't believe,that you don't understand this simple mathematics.You
just pulling my leg?

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you very much for your tremendous and fast response. The Foreign
Affairs Committee of the Senate has already been flooded by letters and I can
already report on the first response: The Chairman of the Democratic Party,
Senator Christopher Dodd has written a letter to President Clinton,
requesting that he protect the cultural group rights of the indigenous
Hungarian population. Please keep up this effort, including your mailing of
letters to the local papers. The first of these letters has already been
published this morning.
         We do have the E-Mail, fax and regular addresses of some 50 USA
papers and of all Senators and Congressman.

         Now a few problem areas, where you might be able to help:

1) We do not have the E-Mail addresses of Senator Bob Dole, The New York
Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune. If you have them, please
pass them on.

2) We do not have E-Mail and Fax addresses of the Canadian media and
politicians. Please help putting that list tougether.

3) Our European efforts to this point have been dismal. All help would be
appreciated (from our Colleagues in Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, the members
of Scout organizations), etc.

Best regards: Bela Liptak

There is no such thing as always, but that doesn't mean that we should
ignore wahat is usually true, or mostly of some character.  there may not be
many pure Hungarians, and English, but does not mean tat there are no
 differences

y
connection to those peoples and places, and for me to do so would be silly.  Ye

we are all human and should therefore respect each other and help each other
when needed, but that is not an arguement of destrying each other with kindness
.
There is nothing wrong with saying, " I respect you and if you need help I'll
be there, and we can talk and learn from each other, but I have a society and
nation that I belong to, and that is not something I want to share totally and
openly, since that would destroy it."  We can and shold help each other more
with efforts like that in Somolia and should have done more in Ruhwanda.  Thati

not the same as opening your society to being overwhelmed by influences from
around the world.  That is like taking every homeless person who meet into your
house and letting them decide whcih holidays you'll celebrate, and what
religion you'll worship.  You are not expected by anyone to go that far - you
don't have to give up who you are.  You can help those people find work, and
 bul ild
build them a home, but you don't haver to give them yours.

     during 1994-1995 the american-hungarian foundation is celebrating its
40th anniversary.
It was founded on december 28, 1954. The foundation is  devoted to furthering
the
understanding and appreciation of the hungarian cultural heritage in the
united states.
Through grants, the foundation supports students and scholars exchange,
publications,
academic programs, fellowships and research at american universities and
colleges, serving as a bridge between the hungarian and american cultural
traditions to enhance a better understanding of the contribution of each.
In new brunswick,  new jersey,  the foundation established the newly built
hungarian heritage center with its museum, archives, library, visitors
center, conference and research facilities. The center also serves as the
headquarters of the tax-exempt, publicly supported foundation. In name and
symbolism the george washington award was inspired by the statue of
washington, erected in the city park in budapest in 1906. It was a gift from
hungarian immigrants  living in america. For the immigrants
the statues serves as an expression of gratitude to the memory of george
washington and to their adopted country, while not forgetting the land of
their birth.  The george washington award of the american hungarian
foundation honors those persons whose eminent contributions are in the broad
field of human knowledge, the arts, commerce, industry, the sciences, and
understanding among men and women and nations.      The roll of laureates
include the hon. Gerald ford, dr edward teller, ambassador angier biddle
duke, general robert wood johnson, dr. Eugene p. Wigner, admirl lewis l.
Strauss, dr. Peter c. Goldmark, joseph pasternak, james a. Michener, chet

I trust that by now most of you have read about the series of demonstrations
and impending strikes which plague the Horn government and threaten the
stabilization program of Lajos Bokros. The first ones to give a "warning"
two-hour slowdown were the workers of the Paks Atomic Plant, who have the
least reason to complain. The average salary--and that includes the cleaning
ladies--is 100,000 Ft./month, which is considered to be very high by
Hungarian standards. Following in their footsteps came the demonstration of
the health workers, and yesterday or today the teachers, librarians, etc.
marched in front of the parliament building. The police officers,
professional soldiers, and the firefighters are supposed to follow. And this
is happening at the time when, as the result of the Bokros package of last
March, the economy is showing some very promising signs. Here is OMRI's news
concerning the latest Hungarian economic developments:

The overwhelming majority of the papers is against the strikes. The
commentators express fear that the government might cave under the demands
which would be fatal for the stabilization program. The right-wing papers
take the attitude that the strikes are not only justified but also the only
action the government employees can possibly take under the circumstances.

I especially enjoyed the article by Tamas Bacskai in *Vilaggazdasag,*
November 1. He calls the attention to the fact that in the private sector
there are no strikes because there the labor leaders realize that in the
middle of widespread unemployment and economic hard times there is no room
for strikes.

Bacskai outlines two possibilities: (1) the strikers get what they want but
surely after a while layoffs will follow; (2) the government is forced to
raise taxes or will have to borrow money from abroad. He, of course, also
calls the attention to the price/wage spiral. The inflation at the moment is
30%. Bacskai pretty well advises the government to hold out and behave like
Mrs. Thatcher during the miners' strike.

Eorsi Janos wrote about the wage-war in *Magyar Hirlap,* November 6. He calls
attention to the fact that the problem is not within the whole work force but
only in the state sector: 900,000 people whose salary depends on the budget
(that includes, doctors, nurses, teachers, professors, researchers,
bureaucrats, etc.) and 100-150,000 people who still work in state-owned
factories. That--according to Eorsi--is only one-third of the work force.

Ferenc Pallagi--whose writings I like very much--in *Vasarnapi Hirek,*
November 5, claims that if these strikes do take place and, as a result, the
austerity program comes to a halt, the consequences will be immeasurable.

Ervin Gyertyan--in *Nepszava,* November 6--compares the Hungarian situation
to that of the Weimar Republic and although he appreciates the difficulties
the larger government party faces, he is very upset over the fact that a
substantial segment of the party leadership (the left wing) behaves in an
irresponsible manner, holding separate meetings behind closed doors, and
using tactics which remind him of those of the bolsheviks. "Elvtars-urak, it
would be good idea to be more cautious, more careful, more far-sighted. The
future of democracy depends on you." [elvtars-urak: Comrade-misters].

Regarding L. Toth's "lesson" in economics:

>Say,you invest $ 500,000.00 in a business.You expect a(minimum of)6% return
>ON YOUR MONEY.Then you borrow an other $500,000.00 for this business.You
>expect a return from this business to pay for the INTEREST ON THIS LOAN,plus
>you expect a return from the business to pay back the BORROWED MONEY,say in
>15 years.

To add to this, I also wonder how (and if at all) will the rates of
utilities be controlled by the government in Hungary.  The typical
American practice is that states and other governmental units have
commissions set up to approve or limit rate requests by such utilities,
based on their documented costs and the required return on investment.
The only problem I see in this procedure is that it has no built-in
incentive for the utility companies to be as efficient as companies with
real competition.  Why be efficient, if they can always get a rate
increase based on whatever costs the incur?

Does anybody know what mechanism, if any, is set up in Hungary to
control charges by utility monopolies?

Thanks,

>what is the hungarian translation of "the american war of independence"?

Fuggetlensegi haboru.

Joe

Kornai started his "Freedom Fight denial" in Forum #461 with 98 lines,
entitled "A szabadsagharc elmaradt" [Freedom Fight did not take place].

Kornai renewed his "Freedom Fight denial" in Hungary #485: " I also
stand by my earlier assertion that 1956 was not a war of independence
(szabadsa1gharc)".

Kornai shamelessly tried to get off the hook by blatantly mistranslating
SZABADSAGHARC (exactly "Freedom Fight") into "war of independence". No
amount of mistranslation can change the fact that Kornai denied SZABAD-
SAGHARC in "Forum #461", reaffirmed in "Hungary #485".

Balogh, realizing the monstrocity of both Kornai's lies (since "szabad-
sagharc" *did* take place, and it is a *lie* that "szabadsagharc" translates
to "war of independence"), she tried to get Kornai off the hook by adding
her shameless lies to the debate in "Hungary #490" as follows:
"..."freedom fight" as a description of the events of 1956 are not
homegrown. ... In Hungarian we actually never refer to it as "fuggetlensegi
haboru" or "szabadsagharc,"...1956 when the word "szabadsagharc" is never
used. ... "freedom fight" doesn't really mean "szabadsagharc" pure and
simple..".

"FREEDOM FIGHT [SZABADSAGHARC] DID NOT TAKE PLACE" (says Kornai) and
"THE WORD "SZABADSAGHARC" IS NEVER USED" (says Balogh).
        These are very strong, blatant lies. The case compares to the
monstrocity of Mark Fuhrman, who would rather perjure himself, in front of
the whole world, to hide his racial hatred against some people, by stating
that the "He NEVER USED the word "nigger"" [the "N"-word] -- while it was
proven that, at least on one taped session, he used the N-word 41 times!

----------------------------
I waste little on the figures Kornai/Balogh, but will prove below by
41 pieces of evidence (out of the many hundreds or even thousands possible)
that "SZABADSAGHARC" [FREEDOM FIGHT] took place in 1956 as judged by
Hungarian individuals, groups, organizations, parties and so on. I owe
showing at least 41 "FF"-words to my FREEDOM FIGHTER friends who died,
and to my fair-minded readers who are interested in the truth.

Word SZABADSAGHARC [FREEDOM FIGHT] I capitalized, English translations I
put in [square brackets], {and added occasional comments}. Written reference-
collections of documents are shown in the text by A, B, C, etc. Bibliograpy
is attached. All evidence occurred in the year of 1956, in Hungary.
