Separation of Food and State

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-19 - 18:10:13

Since when does the Government have a right to dictate what to eat, drink, wear, or even smoke. At the present time, we are living in a Federal Republic which is eroding into a Communist State with trappings of a Medieval Absolute Monarchy. Instead of a Thought Police or a Block Committee, the Television and the Government is there to dictate what should be eaten, worn, or how to live.

The State should withdraw from regulating what the citizen eats. It is the citizen not the government that recognizes what is convenient and not for the individual. If a person wants to eat healthy, that is their choice. If a person wants to gradually die from clogged arteries, clogged veins, and other diseases associated with eating terrible, that is their choice.

The State has no moral right to dictate what is good and not good when students of public schools have meals that are anti nutritious and downright toxic. The same applies to astronauts in space or the member of the armed force serving in Korea, the Middle East, or any other place.

The Individual not the State should be the protagonist of their health in a healthy relationship with their Physician, Nurse, Social Worker without the excess interference of a state that prides itself in gluttony [excessive taxes, excessive regulations, and excessive gossiping]. If the State cannot protect personal information, it cannot dictate food. If the State insists on passing repetitive laws on immigration with TPS [Temporary Protective Status] instead of obeying laws already in place [or reducing the duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate laws], it has no right to dictate food.

In closing, the State reminds me of a Legend called Gargantua which ate and ate until excessive obesity arrived. The cure became a great ball of flatulence and manure. The State in its present form will end up in a great ball of flatulence and manure which would make the Kyoto Protocol cringe.


 
 

No To Boycott of Beijing 2008

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-19 - 18:09:18


The USA should not boycott the Beijing Olympics of 2008 for violation of human rights or other reasons. Boycotts in the past have never worked.

Carter proposed the boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and even prohibited the sale of Moscow Olympic Materials. The response was that people crossed the border into Canada or wrote to relatives in Cuba and other communist countries [as well as other countries attending the Moscow Olympics] and bought stamps, coins, and souvenirs commemorating the Moscow Olympics in 1980.

There were embargoes against Cuba and North Korea which were an arrangement between the governing elites of those countries and their masters called the Republicans and Democrats in Washington. People who wanted to went to Cuba and North Korea and bought products made in those countries.

China, Vietnam, and even South Africa [as well as Zimbabwe during its period as Rhodesia] had boycotts and people went and consumed their products.

On the human rights issue, the Republicans and Democrats lack the moral fiber to lecture other countries about human rights when they have repressed alternative political parties [such as Libertarians, Greens, and the Constitutional Party], have instituted the Patriot Act [as an instrument of control], and have their supporters directly or indirectly initiating acts of repudiation against those who disagree with them.

Last but not least, it is the athletes and the citizens of the world who suffer from such a one sided move to boycott the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. I will be hearing it hopefully via the shortwave radio on China Radio International.

Debt Free

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-19 - 18:08:19


What is the way to stay debt free? There are many ways but it starts with the individual. Our is a nation of compulsive buyers with the desire to consume, consume, and consume. Even Bush in response to the events of the 11th of September 2001 told people: "Don't worry, Be Happy, Buy, Buy, and Buy".

The people buy the latest in fashion from Louis Vuitron, Pierre Cardin, Britney Spears. The people imitate the latest fashions from Paris Hilton and buy her music. Who cannot forget how Hillary Clinton looks? We have to buy the same cosmetics used by her.

This consumption comes in the light of high oil prices and an economy in which the dollar is being replaced by the Euro. At the present conversion rates, the Euro is worth $1.42. We scrape the Earth for more products and purchase until our credit cards reach $10,000.
The way to stay debt free is to buy the basics and save money in a personal safe. Please say no to compulsive buying. The clothes or the perfume used are good for personal hygiene and appearance but does not make the person.

Other ways to stay debt free if the debt has a stranglehold is to negotiate with the banks and credit card companies [as well as insurance companies] on how much debt can be gradually paid off. If products that are not used [except heirlooms] can be sold off, go ahead. It will not be easy, but to resolve debt; it must be the individual responsability to say NO to Debt.

Generation N for Narcissistic

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-19 - 18:07:40


Previous Generations have had to sacrifice and make with whatever they had. Many in these previous generations have had to put up with inconveniences that were created by their parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and previous generations.

The last of these generations or the Baby Boomer's [with certain exceptions] promised that their children will not suffer what they had to suffer. The result was the birth of Generation N as in N for Narcissism.

Generation N or Generation D started out with the people [with some exceptions] born in 1985 and after. They were showered with attention, gifts, and were allowed to get away with many things that previous generations were unable to do.

Adding the Compact Disc, Evolution of MTV, and even Narcissistic stars such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Nicole Richie with the advent of the Internet; the recipe for disaster began. So did the lack of being responsible. What has happened?

We allowed Generation N to actually run our lives and think of themselves as more important than others and not even thinking of their fellow people. At a time when their contemporaries in other countries have matured and are taking responsibility for their lives, Generation N in Western Society [with some exceptions] have been like the song by Panamanian Singer and Composer Ruben Blades: "In a World of Artificial People those who are present, I see the Faces but not the Heart".

Hope is not lost as there are some examples that stand out. Who cannot forget the US Women Football [Soccer] Team whose majority were born in this era visiting and giving moral support to the US Troops in Korea.

In Key West, Florida; at the Hard Rock Cafe, my daughter [who is 12 years old] was invited to write something at the entrance of Hard Rock Cafe. She wrote "Save The Rain Forest" and "Help Find The Cure For Breast Cancer".

Los Crimenes Domesticos de los Republicanos y Democratas en el Siglo XXI

by AlvarezGalloso @ 2007-10-19 - 15:08:32

Los Republicanos y Democratas en EEUU son como los Fariseos de la epoca de Jesus Cristo. Los Republicanos y Democratas en el exterior parecen como una copa de oro mientras el interior es una mezcla de sangre, fuego, violencia, y materia fecal.

Los Republicanos y Democratas hablan de que los unicos que pueden ganar en EEUU son ellos y que un voto para una alternativa es "desperdiciar el voto". Si los Republicanos y Democratas con toda su hipocresia creen que los partidos de la alternativa no existe las posibilidades, porque toman medidas [bajo el manto de asegurar las elecciones] para impedir un discurso politico sano?

La razon es que los Republicanos y Democratas hablan de la democracia y libertad en el exterior pero lo reprimen en el interior. Ellos dominan los medios de comunicacion dentro de los EEUU y gozan de dinero ilicito. Otra ayuda es el pueblo y su falta de una responsabilidad civica. Muchos prefieren sentarse frente a un televisor para ver quien sera la proxima reina de belleza, el proximo idolo de la cancion. Mucho creen para que votar si los dos salen con los suyos y mas vale el malo conocido que el bueno por conocer.

Quiero aprovechar en orden cronologica los horrores electorales del Siglo XXI cometido por el elefante y el burro.

2000: Una Eleccion casi empatada con estados como la Florida, Nueva Jersey, Iowa debatiendo quien sera el ganador. Los Partidos de la Alternativa como los Libertarios y Verdes son hostigados en ciudades como San Francisco con perdida de trabajo.

2004: El Estado de Ohio nulificaron 57,000 firmas en la peticion del entonces candidato del Partido Libertario Michael Badnarik para aparecer en las boletas presidenciales. Ohio dio como razon problemas tecnicos. Una compania de Maquinas Electronicas en West Palm Beach vendieron sus maquinas a los EEUU y Venezuela para sus elecciones. Durante un debate en Miami Florida, Badnarik y el Candidato del Partido Verde para la Presidencia de los EEUU es arrestado por "perturbar a la sociedad".
En el dia de los comicios, desaparecio de las casa electorales los boletos presidenciales en Ohio. En ese mismo estado, los partidos principales amenazaron de muerte o perdida de trabajo aquellos que no estan de acuerdo con los Republicanos y Democratas.

2006: El Gobernador de Illinois [Republicano] postulando para su reeleccion con el candidato del Partido Democrata lanazaron una protesta a la television publica en Illinois con el motivo de exigir el retiro de la Candidata del Partido Verde de los debates para Gobernador de Illinois. En Ohio, filiados al Partido Libertario y el Partido Verde retaron a los Republicanos y Democratas a un debate. Wisconsin amenazo con arrestar a los Libertarios y Verdes por "perturbar a la sociedad".

Por eso y mucho mas, hay necesidad de un cambio. Pero el mundo debe unirse para imponer la logica y la voluntad en los EEUU antes que se pone dificil el problema.

Noticias de Venevision

Proyecto Venezuela rechazó la propuesta de reforma a la Carta Magna por considerar que es un revocatorio de los derechos de la Constitución de 1999. El presidente de esa tolda política, Henrique Salas Feo, dijo que con los cambios que se pretenden implementar al actual texto legal el único beneficiado será el presidente de la República, Hugo Chávez.

Miembros del partido Primero Justicia protestaron este jueves a las puertas del Palacio Federal Legislativo para exigir un derecho de palabra en la plenaria donde se debate la propuesta de cambios a la Constitución. Los militantes del partido aurinegro denunciaron que fueron excluidos del debate del proyecto de reforma constitucional.

Felipe Mujica, dirigente del Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) sostiene que la reforma constitucional no ayudará a los venezolanos, sino que llevará al país a un destino antidemocrático. Por ello, sostuvo que es importante construir una nueva mayoría que permita consolidar una real opción frente al presidente Hugo Chávez
