REFERENDUMS and differences: WATER no reelection.


By: Aelia

really should be more careful with initiatives and proposals that we voted to change the laws, and therefore, as a simple logical fact, we should be more careful with those people to whom we give them the power to govern and decide about our social and political life ... and unfortunately tried this, a long democratic process to do at the end do what they want.

I find it interesting as an example to address the situation created by the Colombian referendum for water.
Various social and environmental organizations, unions, ethnic communities, users of public services, etc., They agreed on the need for serious change in reference to access, use and quality of the rules governing one of the most important and vital resource without which our body could not survive: water.
on our planet less than 1% is fresh water available, a situation that is compounded if we take into account world population growth, pollution, excessive exlplotacion of aquifers and more etceteras.
The Colombian project looks like first and most important assumption, guarantee to all Colombians access to potable water, making this resource in a public good by regulating and controlling the exploitation of this natural resource.
well This initiative aims to promote and update the status of all Colombians who for various reasons and economic and social circumstances, can not afford and / or access to this vital resource of a legal, because they can not afford and all that if they can afford, but think they should not pay for a natural resource that is on earth and vital to our existence and therefore should not be used privately for profit but for our use and responsible and I repeat again, vital. In the latter group, although not in Colombia, including me.
After the hard work of everyone involved and interested in this project, to manage and conduct the referendum, to exchange and discuss regionally different proposals and approaches and especially take all the costs that a referendum is financially and logistically at the organizational level, the project has finally have a structure to be submitted to the government.
What is surprising about the situation was that after being under consideration by parliament, the Congress eliminate all essential points of the proposal and change the whole meaning and moral values \u200b\u200bof it, transforming this project in a new project, quite contrary to the will of the undersigned citizens.
In this "new referendum" broad rights private property rights and establishes water management for profit. And if this were not enough, the initiative made material on October 15, 2008, just had a debate on the "Commission I" camera, with risks as well as deferred for discussion.

On the contrary, the referendum for re-election of current President Uribe, launched in September 2008, has already been four instances of discussion and study on the cameras and be sure completed for approval before the end of this term ...
Apart from the exploitation of water for public supply, there is also an interesting, mysterious and a bit murky status of the market for the sale of bottled water. According to the publication "blue gold" Maude Barlow, National Chairperson Council of Canadians (Council of Canadians) and the Committee on Globalization IFG water, "of 1,000 million cubic meters that were bottled in step 1970, to 84,000 million in the 2,000.

This sales last year amounted to 22,000 million dollars and important producers of beverages such as Coca - Cola and Pepsi - Cola have been engaged in the business of bottling and sale water. "

I think about the facts to see that every law, a loophole, and given our power, leaves us quite aside the question of governance. Embedded in the time machine, go back to the feudal monarchies.


For more information about Colombia today I give you a link to the digital newspaper week and a multimedia representation of the same media outlet ste in el cual se comparan la diferencia otorgada, en el trato de los 2 ultimos referendos mas populares en Colombia, el del agua y la reeleccion del actual presidente.

WHAT WAS BEFORE ... THE EGG OR THE CHICKEN?








By: Aelia

A recent editorial American newspaper The New York Times, by writer and columnist Nicholas D. KRISTOF, noted that often the inter sailors and media consumers, we use our time to find content to reaffirm our political ideology, social, religious or otherwise, instead of using it to actually get a overall idea of \u200b\u200bthe world we live in a more open position to observe more than one point of view or different perspectives.
dedicate more time and not to seek the truth ... but to find the explanations we indulge more ... or bother us less.
physical spaces dominated by technology and our attitude and reaction to the media, put us in a position of mere consumers of images or content, seeing as an inert mass, and lacking their own opinion ... but what we really are? "We generate our own faults or just consume the service tax? Are we vulnerable to act as robotic machines brain and little ability to make decisions?
But the culprit here is not the knife ... but the murderer. And we can not classify them as victims, if we have partly inspired the slaughter ....
can not deny that we are under a cluster bomb full of advertising, manipulated and saturated contents manipulated, exposed to trial of values \u200b\u200bthat tells us how to live and eat, how to dress, consolation by the idea that a cigar box can give these friends do not have or the love we crave. But we are not innocent.
The market gives the consumer what he asks. We can not forever hide the sun with a finger, or believe that the fissures that exist in our society are not our responsibility. We are able to stop generating waste and we do not ... that would stop consuming all the paraphernalia that offers the TV or other media?
If we solve the real problems of our society, the imminent crisis of values \u200b\u200bthat experience, hunger, wars, which disease, corruption, loss of any sense of our lives ... we might be in a stronger position against these power groups attempting to inculcate and manipulate audiences in pursuit of their own profits.
From the blogs from the Internet, many Inter. sailors, to show that we are an asset. We can generating initiatives and change concepts defined. We can turn off the TV one day and not die ... we are not forced to eat garbage, we can really use the word "democracy" and to express our dissatisfaction with the communication system that runs the world.
seriously think that by leaving the position of victims and transform you into makers of our own content, we prioritize the pursuit of information, beauty, values \u200b\u200band reality, rather than making horrors in the news ; widen our perspective and objectivity are practicing more, diversity and tolerance to the selection our content. Mass media like television, not in itself present a hazard even clear that after installed, will be advocated to create new soldiers. In us the responsibility to purchase tastings in the matter and avoid or complain and dream of a plastic life.
who is free not to have created their own gods and demons in the image ... cast the first stone.
Switch off the television for a day, excluding the PC, forget the electronic devices that coexist around us, we use the imagination, look at the day and seek special things. Let's use the time off to live with less technology, to return to the origin and rethink what kind of media we want, that society we, by causing a fight.



The November 2, 2009, we have an opportunity to demonstrate that viewers have the power of choice and we want it known.

2009: EVOLUTION AND EVOLUTION





By: Aelia



February 12, 1809 Shrewsburry, England born Chales Darwin, a man who would shake the foundations of history, and would give impetus to the paradigms of history.




It's been 150 years since the publication of the writings revolutionized Church, and shocked religious communities. censored his work, say up to his own wife, "The Origin of Species finally came to light on November 24, 1859 and 1250 copies sold out the first day.



The story begins when Darwin, after graduating in 1831 and only 22 years decides to make a perilous journey aboard the HMS Beagle that would sail for about 5 years around the world and which inherit the wealth of knowledge about many species.




And on that trip, especially to reach the Galapagos Islands, where the turtles observed the finches (birds) and realize that each island there is a different species. This fact seems to be caused by differences in conditions and climates on each island, which seems to make each species develop certain characteristics.




Darwin
That assessment may seem obvious or very likely and accepted today, but at the time, contradicted the scientific concept established at that time assuring that the species did not vary, one thing was fixed.



Therefore Darwin was unsure of the effects that would cause his controversial theories being published. That's when it appears on the scene also renowned Alfred Russel Wallace, which sends a letter to Darwin, about 20 pages or so, which outlines a theory very similar to Darwin created parallel and independently.




sing The two men decide to join forces and hit the water for publishing a joint article entitled "On the Tendency species to create varieties "and open it in Linnean Society of London.

From that moment, and while Darwin was not a staunch opponent of religion or other beliefs that criticized and attacked his theories, his life and changed us all ... d



As of today, 200 years later, Darwin's theories remain highly controversial, uncensored and exposed to numerous attempts to discredit the option, that may not have to look provided an explanation natural or human extra for the mysteries of life. Do not know everything, nor can we explain everything, but that does not mean we can not explain it someday. Or perhaps ... means that if a child does not understand a lesson in class one day, could not ever understand?



Science emerge in recent centuries as an alternative to existing explanations of life and the world. Thus becomes for many also a dogma, a belief founded on other bases, different faith or religious doctrines, but true to other principles.


However
science, unlike religion d does not specify any conditions its principles, nor does it establish standards based on the perception of a few enlightened. This is what makes it different from any religion, and the opportunity to study, reaffirm or contradict what has been said, to access knowledge and transform it to create a response that only history will be kept if it is sufficiently "credible" and strong ... if they pass the selection process of the species.
But in any case will never irrefutable, there are always possibilities of a contradiction, an annex to a new paradigm.



would you imagine that today's religion, if believers could be truly makers of their own dogma? If they were not based only on the rules imposed by a pair of bibliomaniac looking at the Bible support their own theories to justify social prejudice arose thousands of years ...

That would of religion if it had to accept that their existence does not influence the non-existence of other faiths?



humanity would suffer "if he knew that life has a beautiful and mysterious explanation, which is not necessary to worship, or praise? an explanation of which we are part and parcel, without submissions or punishment ...



To continue to evolve, and intervening in the natural process of our lives ... and this we see the signature world, a more to see, to be taught in schools if taboos, which are included in the ABC included children as God, having the same place in the world than any possible variation or antithesis, I leave a documentary about the great explorer of the species and a link to a multimedia playback advertisement the journal "very interesting" on his website, about the fascinating journey around the world and science.
