Extreme Nasal Congestion Help
Introduction (not so) brief but necessary
Yes. I had a girlfriend who did theater. For her entire world revolved around creating art and nothing else. After discussing the matter. I said no, what really governed the lives of men in society was the constant play of power, politics in broad terms, and even more: the same theater was, among other things, an exercise demonstration it. In the end he accepted. "It's true: everything is politics," he said. And from this new perspective we talk about the drama of Aeschylus and Sophocles indoctrinating and then went for ice cream, we passed two homeless, a police officer who extorted a taxi driver, went home and watched a movie.
The story serves only to illustrate a small point: even if there are people out there saying "we, I do not understand anything about politics, not interested" or "all politics is disgusting, I do not enter" , it always has a direct impact on our lives, like it or not. We all have, we all reached, involves us all, unless someone is an ascetic way and have no contact with society. But think: what largely determines the environment in which we live, the legal regime in which we, job opportunities we have, the education system we use and the social misery that we suffer, everything has to do with power plays in different areas and between different actors, ranging from the most local to international. It is from politics generally is decided a country's economic structure and civic culture is shaped both by public servants as ordinary citizens. That's right.
Anyway, all this to say: from this day declare formally inaugurated the weekly column "Because you like it or not, you also play" with a post from our friend Gezeta . The idea is that people commonly do not write about these issues, are encouraged to do so and we share an anecdote about it. No need for a sensible treaty national political environment, but a story, review or reflection that shows how everything has its side politicized.
Without further ado, I leave you with the real post:
POST POLITICOGEZETOSO
For Gezeta.
S lways have been well apolitical güeys. since I was kid I grew up with the idea that Politics was a world he never wanted to belong. My family has always been very balanced in terms of left and right and therefore did not have much influence on one side or the other, and are tolerated. I like that. Not like the ultrizquierdistas who believe that the country does not advance just because you do not belong to him. Or as the far right who believe that you are a neorevolucionario - guerrilla. He said: I am apolitical, but not ignorant or stupid.
This
because someone once told me that people are apolitical because they are ignorant asshole of the country's situation and does not care what happens and you have to take a hand y. .. y. .. y. .. But of course not. No need to be on one side to know how to launch the country and to give you the same. Having a position just gives you different views but does not make you less ignorant. Also I have always been well pacifist goee, and that to get to discuss why it is better to be left to right and vice versa lazy because sometimes passes as religion that can not get anything.
Suddenly I like a lot of ideas on the left and suddenly some of the right, in the 2006 presidential election I voted for Patricia Mercado because I liked his project, more than "left" but not so radical, because vote by the people and not the party and I do not believe in the "least worst", I better be a vote "lost" as many say it was impossible to win and that his party would lose its registration. But at least I'm not sorry as my mom voted for peje and when he lost his sanity left to love. Or as my father who voted for Calderón, and when it fails to fulfill all, he swallowed his words that he was the best.
When the APPO in Oaxaca stopped believing in everything. In the left because politicized the movement and let people enter unruly followers who turned against them. Let also believe in the right because the movement demonized as Ulises Ruiz a saint.
Right Mexico's left and I always have done much as in 1900. On the one hand the Conservatives a rather silly way of thinking from time to time with respect to many situations. Gay marriage, for example. And the other good liberal goee, and revolutionary and that weapons and demonstrations and all that other "sticks." But of course we have good things, not everything is bad, as board said in this post .
Mexico is like a big piece of cloth that some dudes pull to one side and others to the other. Will eventually break and worth mothers whose side you are. Mexico needs a deal. No matter the position, you need a course, surely pulling even with a fixed target can be achieved. Things here and there are enough things. Do you see that is bastard, but not impossible. And if you just get into the chingadazos yes I do without hesitation, if not literal.
FIN.
