How To Dry Rose Petals

A little bit of hope Einstein was right

In 2006, Chavez defeated Manuel Rosales in proportion 60-40. Very similar to what was this past Sunday. At that time, depression was great. A friend to whom I deeply appreciate this gesture gave me this letter from a friend reflecting on that defeat. I think it applies now. I share that analysis with you now. Suitable figures to yesterday, and handed her some editing because of their size and reality, but the rest, here's all alike. I do not know if it's any consolation to you, but this is my small contribution to remember that never-NEVER- must stop working for a better future, no matter the odds.

My Dear:

Last night the people spoke. Venezuela, which established the most votes on Sunday Venezuela is that we have, that somehow inherited. It is time to accept it. It is our reality. No doubt every people has the ruler they deserve. Perhaps what bothers us most is that there are countries and unfortunately Chavez wants one. 54% of Venezuelans deserve Chavez.

This has an explanation. 54% of Venezuelans are traditional and 46% are modern. This segmentation is clearly defined in the book Poverty Behind Luis Pedro Spain and other great authors. I highly recommend it to buy and read this book. I think it's the best way to understand Venezuela today and the next few years. It is a masterpiece.

traditionalists in general are resistant to modernity and feel they have no control over their reality and destiny. Believe that opportunities come and not seek depend on luck and chance. They also feel that to achieve something you need someone's help. They have very little formal education, most have not completed high school. For them to tutoring the state is vital to change their situation. For them, Chavez is the state and view him as a father who imposes discipline with authoritarianism.

The study Poverty Behind , they make up 60%. The Modern recognize there is a personal control over their destiny and future. They are confident in themselves and others as individuals. Relying in part on the institutions and that makes uprooted, with a clearly individualistic. Modernism is a result of a process of raising a family, socialization and education. Modernism is anchored in the individual's interaction with environment groups as labor and the public. The Moderns learn to compete and accept its consequences. They have learned to win and lose. According to the study Poverty Behind Us 40%.

Modern For us it is very difficult to accept what happened last night. So I invite you to understand that Chavez governs for Traditional and Modern despises. Everything he does for the traditional. However, these same traditional reject Communism in Cuba and 90%.

I think Chavez attracts contempt Traditional to Modern and therefore we constantly attacks. At Modern we do not like to tell us what we must do, much less coming from the state. That bothers us and makes us react emotionally rather than rationally. Chavez keeps at bay the fear among Modern concepts such as communism, indoctrination, war, violence, restriction of freedoms etc. And we love to eat the Modern cap with these concepts because we reject deeply. That makes us react emotionally exaggerated. That's the power that Chavez has on us and use it daily. We do not learn ... We have terrorized psychologically. That makes us erratic and irrational.

I propose that we be more rational and less emotional to face what comes. As much as Chavez wants that there is only the Modern Country and will continue to exist in Venezuela Production class. That is our power: work, business, family, education. Once Chavez to try to give them the traditional one of these ingredients, Modern and stop back support.

personally believe that we will not communism, that they will not indoctrinate our children, we do not take away private property or freedom of expression. No doubt there will be surgical strikes to certain business groups and politicians because they are inconvenient for the regime. But apart from that I think comes more from same .... Pure straw, inefficiency, incapacity, a corruption, incoherence and stupidity!

The big problem is that Chávez has a large ranch in the head! It's a brilliant man, but unfortunately is poor and ashamed. That is his great weakness. Peo sweat and pure as they say in Goch. Electoral and political phenomenon who can not govern or manage. That is their disgrace. From the traditional is the most traditional of all! So he surrounds himself with so much mediocrity and incompetence. Modernism as terrified!

Of course, now more than ever we must make Social Responsibility to help many more Traditional ways to, to inject modernity. Do not neglect this ... We owe it to Venezuela.

us accept our reality, we are now more rational and accept no more distractions of Chavez ... The do not deserve!

Let now the largest minority. The work of the silent but very effective. The low profile but high caliber. We will defend our territories and spaces and we create new ones. We will evangelize the Currency to transform Venezuela.

I know we are sad, but life must go on. Now we are with our family, and work for our country. (This bit is Juan Carlo.)

Carpe Diem

Menstrual Cycle Hemorrhoids



Albert Einstein said a few pearls in your life, to prove it was the most brilliant mind of the twentieth century. Well, Tuesday I had evidence that one of his maxims was oh so true, Lord ... And no, I do not mean E = mc ². I mean this:

"There are two things infinite in this world: the universe and human stupidity. And I'm not so sure about the universe. "

Like it or not, the bureaucracy in the world for a reason, it helps to maintain order in one way or another. But for Christ's sake, that excuse does not hold common sense and beat him to death.

My father had his car in the shop and had to get to the Metropolitan University to correct some tests (my father is a professor at the School of Engineering of the house of study). So I have to take it, gladly. For those who do not know, I live in the southeast of the city, and Unimet is in the east, so that no tail and is a walk of about half an hour, maybe a little less, without a tail. This was at 7:30 in the morning rush hour. When we got to college, it was 8:20. A vial

why should I return to let my old man. And as I prepare to do it, is by the way we use to get there, a guard stops us and says in that weird English using Venezuelan guards, that if we go "must mojtrarme the calnecito." Well, my dad shows, no big deal. I leave it, and proceed to give me back where I came. And to my surprise, the other guard tells me I can not get there. I have to return by the very steep climb to get out the OTHER out. "Ej that is no longer left eta charging at this time, Sr., has po I left the other, "he says. "'But if I was not even five minutes, I have to pay you!" He cried desperately. "Sorry, sah, you must return {e, I discurpa" he says. I still say something stupid, but my anger will not let me listen. I return it, with great effort (have tried to go back in a rise in a synchronous?), Go through the University of yore, I go by the other ticket, and proceed to calarme a tour of thirty seconds to ten minutes in the queue to grab the way that interests me.

I get to Plaza las Americas mall southeast the city (yes, it is about fifteen minutes from my house, without a tail. But keep in mind, "without tail" applies only after 9:30 pm during the week and on Sunday morning. That is , Utopia). I have a couple of errands to do in the mail and a couple of banks. Plaza is a unique shopping center because it is divided into two parts: an old woman who has been almost unchanged since the '70s, and a new built in the parking lot of the old mid / late 90s. Are 9:45 am.

I enter the parking lot of the new zone, third level. My goals are in the old, ground floor. Stop the car, next to the door. Rare thing, How nice! Of course, the fact that the access door to the mall is closed, then ... I ask a guy who's out there that stopped what happened, and told me they opened at 10. Pana, what they have to close it from the parking lot too? The summit, my bladder starts to ask me for attention.

Well there is no roll. There are restrooms in the old town, which is the r-

Damn, they're remodeling. SHEEEEET ...

Using the classic dance is urged, going to where the guards. Who have cordoned off the area to the new, of course. Of course, if the mall does not open at 10, why go to be wandering around? Asked Mr. vigilant, as the bathrooms in the old town are closed for remodeling, and these are closed for now, if you could tell me where there are other toilets in the shopping center.

"Sorry friend, the only thing that works is the one in the restaurant downstairs," she says. (Yes, that spoke English "normal.") Ah clear: go to the restaurant, will not buy anything, but I'll use the bathroom. The dream of every citizen. Be a fool, I stand like a man. I'm going to pay the mail.

Payment. It's ten o'clock. I can not think of anything else:

aycoñomememeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeoaycoñomemeo ... aaaaaaaaah ....

Well, once the emergency, go to the bank. I want to find out how much would the fee if I apply for a loan for housing policy. Hey, I have 37, do not want to live with the old life. Well, I hope my turn.

"Good morning sir" I say to the face of obstinate executive. Yes, at ten o'clock in the morning peak. "I would like to find out requirements for applying the law of housing policy."

"Sorry friend," he says. And with that, I lose my faith in humanity. "These data are only taking place in the headquarters."

This ... How?

"Sorry, but still to record the documents, but ... Nothing more to ask for information I have to go to the headquarters (which is at the center of town)? "

" Yes sir. "

a deep breath. Fuck your mother. Deep breath again. This type is not to blame. Deep breath again. And talk. "Is there nothing I can say now?"

I gave general information, is given up to 70% of the property and 30 years to pay, these things, "and I said they were reviewing that information, and that was why he did not give the information on the venues. Bue, no way.

Pana is in these cases where I have to ask: did the bureaucracy to make life easier for the public, or those working on these sites? Hand, in fact, it sometimes seems that human stupidity have no limits.
