It's interesting to see the perception the US has about foreign aid. The common citizen thinks that Washington's whole system of foreign assistance comes out of the desire of American politicians to help the rest of the world. But, for the rest of the world, this "aid" doesn't aid so much. If we consider that it not only comes with strings attached but it's also a strategy to dominate, then we are definitely better off without it. The construction of a hospital, for example, often means that the medical technology it's going to use has to be made in the USA, regardless of the economic and/or technological advantages. Thus, in the end, the money flows back to its original source and very little remains in the assisted nation.
How refreshing to hear a lucid, a decent American who does not fear the power, the corrupting power coming out from Washington and its prostitute: the media. They are the ones who one day sat and, since they had all been begotten by the same monster, planned the Iraqi crime. They laughed in conversing about the technicalities to be overcome: the US Constitution for example. Cheney, for instance, said that "that paper" was absolutely obsolete. "The President", he said, "cannot be encumbered by such minutiae". In hearing that, the pet immediately jumped on the table and with a characteristic smirk in his face barked, "Yes, yes. I was told to say that, but it was my idea, it was my idea!" Cheney sent a meaningful look toward the lackeys from the Washington Post, the Wall Street, the NYT, CNN, Fox, etc, etc., and they knew what they were to do. The next day, everybody read: "The President courageously states that difficult times require difficult choices." … Read More

It is a little silly to write about the person I am because we people usually write only positive things about us, so to this extent, what we state is not completely true. Thus, for the sake of not doing the same thing, let me start by listing my negative characteristics. I am very egocentric. This may not be very surprising to most since it is considered a "normal" trait If it is so, then I am normal. I also tend be weak in fulfilling my duties as a Christian, especifically the 6th Commandment. Let's say that I absolutely agree with Matthew 26:41 when he says "...the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Woll it be my latin blood? It is silly to blame my ethnicity for a problem of sexual intemperance, I know.

Currently, it seems that we are all somehow Don Quixote although in a perverse way.
