80s Aerobic Instructor

elegance and elegance Best


few months ago I would pick me up with relish in one of those chains post, probably because the roll Cultureta so hackneyed lately, of being a meme about books. Unforgivable, no doubt. The point is that in those lines I pointed out the need for a print book: From Columbus to Bolivar of Salvador de Madariaga . Result of several accidents, the volume fell into my hands, in an edition of 1955-written in 1941 - the Ballantine Books. It has been four years since a friend who does not know if I continue to read these thoughts of mine recommended it to me. Tanta

wait is worth it. Although it is only by this phrase: "Spain is the only state in the world then as now and as always enabled and allows the luxury of idle their best men." Madariaga Refers to the pathetic existence lived Hernán Cortés once returned to his beloved New Spain (Mexico), a member of the court of Charles V and while seated, without more activity than he sought to and without the monarch get him for nothing.

History, that "human tragedy" in the words of the Madariaga, has not done justice to the great conqueror. Few of my countrymen know that Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztec Empire, which had at that time more than one million inhabitants, with about six hundred men. Itself a monumental feat of a great man, whose talent was frustrated by his contemporaries.

Madariaga, perhaps feeling that his own talents as a English reference to his time was being wasted, goes beyond Cortes and notes that our condition consisting ostracize our finest countrymen, as in effect at mid-twentieth century. Already popular proverb says the wise: "Nobody is prophet in his own country . Ortega y Gasset , contemporary de Madariaga, says this same signal as envy . Ortega comes to say that the English are unable to listen to wise people and what we do, as we have time, is raising his voice above them.

In any case, this feature homeland we discover two great intellectuals of the last century, seems not to have lapsed in our polluted society. Perhaps more than ever. Look around and see how the public is full of mediocre beings, while our "best men" to pass among us unnoticed, when they have had to emigrate to be recognized, as did the cancer researcher Mariano Barbacid .

Hence, the role models for our society than people who have succeeded with their effort and talent to reach the top of their professions. Probably because they are not the best those who reach the highest peaks. Rather than referring to us as are those who have managed to make better use of springs in this society to pack courtrooms official mitineros pulpits and television studios. No doubt this new paradigm that has been know as a democracy.

This breeding ground for mediocrity, we waste, as we did already in the sixteenth century, our most valuable fellow. Whereas what is being lost not talent is simply not a few brilliant men and women, but our ability to succeed and stand out as a nation. Let enlarging the mediocre and none that stand out for their ability and effort. We will be planting our own failure as a society and people.

33 Weeks Pregnant Sore Spot On Stomach

Archbishop Granada: a clear example of what a brain full of shit

After many discussions, complaints and protests on the issue of abortion, our beloved church and apostolic coitólica returns to delight us with their medieval ideas. This time, removed from the pig's mouth, I mean, Archbishop of Granada. My compliments to the suckling pig. The words uttered by this aberration can be read on the following link:
Homily of Archbishop of Granada

suggest that the reading is made close to a toilet where vomit taste. Take a deep breath, be patient, because the text is long and tedious, and, if possible, prepare a linden and chamomile to rest the mind and stomach.

For those who do not want or dare not, for whatever reason, read the homily in full, we summarize the salient points of the text, which has spawned a wave of protests against this man "?. Here goes:

1. Enactment a law which puts thousands of professionals (doctors, nurses, ...)-they-especially in situations similar to those that had to confront the doctors or soldiers under the regime of Hitler or Stalin, or any of the dictatorships that existed in the twentieth century that really established the legality of other crimes, less repugnant than that of abortion.

If a doctor or nurse has a moral convictions so strong as to be unable to perform an abortion, you can choose from any of the specialties that do not touch this issue, as could be cardiology, nephrology, digestive, etc. We can say that because in English the masculine plural is used as plural generic, except for cases like having a class of 20 students and 2 students, nurses should say and not nurses.

2. There in the Middle Ages Middle Ages in that precious that nobody wants to remember because it's not politically correct Christian military order in which the knights did not fight the oath of never less than two enemies at once, because for a Christian gentleman was unworthy to fight on equal terms with who was not Christian. The world may call it stupidity. I call value.

I do not know where to get this man the idea that remembering the Middle Ages is not politically correct. Even more surprising I think the fact qualify as "beautiful." Of course, we speak of a senior official of the Church. It is normal that yearns for better times, for them, where nobody who was questioned and was reduced to ashes.

These statements are still longing to those shown below:

3. But to kill a defenseless child, and to do his own mother! That gives men the discharge, without limitation, of abusing the woman's body, because the tragedy she swallows, and swallows it like a law: the right to live life sorry for a crime always leaves traces in the conscience and which neither doctors nor psychiatrists and all technical know the remedy.

This could be, in fact, is the culminating point of the homily, it is, obviously, an apology for violence. It is a spit, a whipping, not only against my sex and my person, but against everyone: me, us, we reduce the scum of an object and them, to the extent of irrational animals.

response, rejection of society to these statements was immediate and has materialized in the form of Facebook group. This might seem at first no more than a group tantrum, however, from his blog, Stephen Mucientes reminds us that something similar happened with certain statements of Cospedal and finally, clamant voice made itself heard. Let this voice also is heard and the Archbishop of Granada pig soon appear before the courts.
