no fault of anything

comment that we live in times of economic crisis, but above all a political crisis. Everyone seems to know what you are talking about: we live in first person, second and maybe third. You can see on television that the economy does not start and that the political class is steeped in corruption, leaving so many defenseless citizens. However, to me I think it is a reality that we see: one in which we have to justify, one in which, as part of something, just present ourselves as victims, without taking into account that we must take some responsibility.


The results of the last European elections left some facts to emphasize, in my city, people of my "generation" (say age group between 25 and 34) failed to vote. The ratio was 1 in 12 voters counted and explanations were of the most varied: that if there was political disenchantment, that if elections were not important, that if there was no charismatic candidate, etc ... I wonder why people over 50 years, especially those over 65 years, however it does go to the polls in greater measure. I believe there are more disenchanted, politically speaking, that many of these voters, who were years with great enthusiasm the arrival of democracy, the government saw the arrival of a popular left-wing president Felipe González as believed in a less PP bad with a modern and young and then have seen what they have seen, I do not think they know further the importance of the European Union (mostly by the educational profile of this sector of the population) not young; And Moreover, some people do can claim to have known and charismatic politicians that the new batch of less popularity has not discouraged to vote. So, why older people participate electorally more respect than younger people? "For they know what it cost to get it" - say the vast majority of people I know sixties.
After the case Gurtel and Operation Pretoria, the political establishment is becoming evident. Voices have appeared (in print too many for my taste) commenting that "this is the explanation of political disenchantment "or" and political abstention is warranted ", which I think is the most immature to face reality. The solution is" no vote ". How easy it is. In this way, when you can come a process of political regeneration result of the scandals, there are those who justify it, rather than step forward and find a way to debug and improve the system, it is best "erased" because it is the best way for the class Policy "learn." I do not know, I have the feeling that many things happen and not be because too many people look the other way. So prove that "look On the other hand is intelligent because he knew that would happen, "leads me to ask: What did you do to help?. I say this because there are corrupt because they are corrupt. And the corrupt do not live in a monastery: they usually have families and people around you who can add 2 +2.

I find it funny that there are people who consider themselves "apolitical." As in some religions consider atheism almost an eccentricity of Christianity itself, arguably the apolitical eccentricity is allowed for democracy liberal (in dictatorships or tyrannies, is not considered an option nor a luxury). Being apolitical is that you can not stop being "subject of the kingdom" (in Spain's case) or be exempt from paying taxes or to violate the laws, live in absolute solitude, etc. That is, it matters little whether you like it or not politics: it rules your life and take it as you take it, are part of the system. In a participatory system (although it is not what you want), have the possibility to take an active part of it. So, who does not want to be part of that megasistema making decisions that affect us all and to a greater or lesser extent, are connected together, some may stay without doing anything ... but must meet the if we assume that must be part. Blaming politics, especially in a democracy, for all our ills is an unconscious way to criticize yourself as part of it. The passive role does not exempt of political responsibility, although it is small.

often said that "we have the leaders we deserve (the governed)." In the political context in which we operate is true. During childhood, spent a period of years in which ignores many things and it can be argued immaturity ... until it reaches a certain age. Thereafter, as are legally responsible. Will we continue crying like babies, criticizing the teachers Smarty mania for having us, blame our parents for not having taught her well ... or assume one day of age?.

Optim Steam Mop Price

hunches, predictions and results

Could not be. The Olympic designation has finally booked a ticket to the 2016 Rio de Janeiro not currently see a second Olympics in English territory. All cabals and speculations have come to an end: Chicago , despite the emergence of its president, did not pass the first ballot; Toky or, despite its impeccable project, he was halfway, and Madrid, despite their enormous enthusiasm and offered his intense "diplomatic-election, has definitely confirmed that Europe would not have two consecutive Olympics in the mainland. For the first time in history, South America (not Latin America, since Mexico and was based in 1968) will host the largest and most universal competitive sport in the world.

I must say that Madrid's bid expected to go so far. When 4 years ago, after a disappointing dispose of Singapore, some officials said the nomination would insist again for the immediate appointment, more than one could not help thinking it was a waste of time, as any European option would have very few chances of collect the Olympic flag in 2012. Still, Madrid's bid insisted, aware that at least, not compete against any major European capital (Paris, after its traumatic defeat of Singapore, promised to be very tough rival in these fights but I thought by 2020). And by golly, today has been planted at the very end, at which time no longer says the result of a vote but directly read the name of the winner. Something that failed or face the 1972 (Munich won an absolute majority in the second vote, as Montreal and Madrid went into the streets simultaneously ) or face to 2012. Although not used as a comfort, not bad for not being a favorite anything.

Anyway, I can say one thing: I think, beyond principles and moral codes, to choose which venue will host a series of sporting events through a competition (political, but competition), I find it quite consistent. The document will be referred to in many ways, including using various synonyms of mamoneo, rally, ect ... but follows the logic of sports, until it is finished, the result is not definitive, not always the best wins, and the winner is usually determined by several factors: skill, luck, environment ... and any trick or trap that is not discovered at the time.

The first of the three votes of the selection process tends to record what is the most attractive option, since all voters choose their "first choice." There is significant that despite the stigma (rotating continental tradition) of "European site", Madrid was the most voted (28), ahead of Rio (26), Tokyo (22) and the great disappointment, Chicago (18). I guess if Huntington had not died last year had found some explanation for the lapse of cultural theory, that Copenhagen has been recently confirmed. But the point is that the two cities "Latino" took a clean sweep half of the votes in the first round, so obviously they received support from voters who speak no English or Portuguese, has also become apparent that the betting favorite is useless: once the IOC members are enclosed in a hotel and start the politicking, the result becomes less predictable than expected. And so it has been the thing: the favorite in the betting houses, Chicago, with Obama in front, has been left out in the first screen.

The second vote marks the entry into action of the "second choices / preferences", an alternative choice is often not normally be improvised from voters. Most of them often unclear and inevitably "linked" to a particular option, but when you get it, you can always "offer" support when one is freed from his "first choice" failed. A kind of "marketing of second choices." The English delegation was particularly concerned about this vote, the insurance score can be noticed in the first election, and handle the "after" is not so easy, and the uncertainty about who will be eliminated, it can "lock" in advance and with certainty Feedback from second choices. Among vote and vote no time to "negotiate." It seems that Madrid's bid was played much of his chances with second choices in the early elimination of Rio, which allowed access to support Latin America (including Brazil) with a view to the final. So not only did not happen, but the Brazilian candidacy was virtually all the support he had received Chicago (46), too close to the absolute majority that would automatically proclaimed official home of 2016. Madrid, to keep er initial support (28 +1), could be imposed on Tokyo (20), which left her candidacy for a step to success. However, the numbers in hand and is unlikely to produce a significant shift of votes in such a short time, has really been the second vote has left the "fish" rather than sold. By now, few will change to vote and 17 votes are almost insurmountable difference with only 20 votes (+3) to distribute again. In 2005, London 2012 won by one vote when he was 5 below Paris, and was a "sorpresón." So, despite the final emotion and even though "to the tail, it's all bull," the fact is that Rio had already won the Olympics for 2016 before the third ballot. Only one was going to prevent catastrophe.

Therefore, the third ballot is where the disappointment has been built for the English candidacy, but has in fact been a mere formality. The landslide victory by 66 to 32 is not in doubt: after the previous vote, many expected and Rogge citase the name of the Brazilian carnevalera emblematic city. Almost the integrity of the vote went to Tokyo to Rio and Madrid could only earn 3 / 3 options. It was clear that the first choice of most dancing samba rhythm more than chotis. If not for the emotion of hearing a name for demonstration of joy, it might have been spared such agony lengthen.

Anyway. Within the next four years more.
