Pasó horas leyendo de los sangrados y su relación con los abortos espontáneos. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Urgía ver al médico, saber que todo estaba bien, si todo estaba bien. Nos dieron cita a la 9 sharp.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Llegamos al consultorio temprano. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Despues de más de una hora en la sala de espera, junto con varios padres en ciernes, le indicaron que entrara a un pequeño cuarto. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Le dijeron que se quitara la ropa de la cintura para abajo y que se recostara en una cama con extensiones para mantener las piernas bien abiertas, y una computadora a un lado.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Llegó el doctor, puso gel en un instrumento y lo introdujo hasta muy cerca del centro de mi felicidad. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Se vio la imagen pequeña, en la pantalla en blanco y negro. El doctor movía el instrumento para tener una mejor imagen del pequeño monito apenas con forma. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Here you can see his legs, and these are his arms. Can you see 'em?", dijo el doctor. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Luego, sin avisar, apretó un botón del teclado y se escuchó un "tun tun tun tun tun" agitado y poderoso. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Karina se irguió en la cama. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;"What is that?", preguntó.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Is the heart, beating", le contestó el doctor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Is the heart, beating", "Is the heart, beating", se repetía en mi cabeza. Karina volteó a verme. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yo no le respondí la mirada. Seguía embobado el recorrido del instrumento en la pantalla. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Por primera vez escuchaba el corazón de mi hijo. Karina no se ofendió por el desaire, sabía bien que nada podía ser más importante en ese momento para mí que seguir escuchando. "The baby is perfect", dijo el doctor.

Era famoso no por nuestras pírricas victorias, sino por el nombre que le pusimos (orines de puerco) y porque éramos garantía de pleito al fin de cada juego, no importaba cual fuera el marcador final.&lt;br /&gt;Nos metieron juntos a la cárcel, por pintar con spray leyendas zapatistas sobre los anuncios que había mandado rotular en las bardas de la colonia el servicio municipal de agua potable.&lt;br /&gt;Nos acabamos juntos nuestra primera cajetilla de Delicados, como correspondía a nuestra calaña, y nos emborrachamos por primera vez con un litro de Don Pedro. Fue, cómo no acordarme, en la casa del Guajo, que ese día festejó su cumpleaños sin familia a la vista. El Guajo, un buen compa que terminó yéndose a Chicago, tuvo que comprarle a sus papás un colchón nuevo después de la pachanga. El Migue y yo, mientras tratábamos de vencer al mareo (siguiendo el consejo de poner un pie en el suelo para hacer tierra) para poder dormir un poco, tupimos la cama paterna con los tacos semi-digeridos de tripita y buche con los que habíamos acompañado los “salud carnal”.&lt;br /&gt;Conciertos de rock, serenatas, acampadas con guitarra en mano y luna llena, broncas montoneras, más borracheras, desilusiones amorosas (sobre todo eso), pero también risas, soledades de todo tipo pero compartidas, y sueños grandes, el Migue y yo vivimos juntos todo eso y lo que me falta.&lt;br /&gt;Mi esposa, a la que conocí en la prepa y con quien llevo ya seis años de feliz matrimonio, me dijo un día que por Migue estuve a punto de perderla. Al final pude conciliar los intereses.&lt;br /&gt;Sólo había un cosa que podía hacer que Migue y yo no anduviéramos de patas de perro todo el día: Doña Ofe y su cada vez más amplio menú de achaques, que la postraban por días en cama.&lt;br /&gt;Siempre que estaba en el pueblo, el Migue dejaba cualquier cosa que estuviera haciendo para ir a recoger a su mamá a la escuela. Le atascaba de besos la cara y la cabeza encanecida, luego le volaba un chicle, acomodaba la merca, y se ponía al timón del carromato para enfilar hacia su casa. Siempre estaba al pendiente de ella, cualquier cosa por ella.&lt;br /&gt;Cuando nos llegó el momento de elegir universidad, nos llegó también el tiempo de buscar nuevos cómplices. Yo me fui a la Ciudad de México, Migue entró a estudiar sistemas computacionales en el Tecnológico Regional de Morelia, y nuestros caminos empezaron a separarse.&lt;br /&gt;El último día que estuvimos juntos, la víspera del inicio de cursos, nos tuvimos que acabar cada uno dos Caguamas para poder llegar con entereza al “nos vemos luego carnal”. Antes de irse me dijo que ahí estaba empezando su sueño, ese en el que su carrera le daba suficiente para quitar a Doña Ofe de andar empujando por las calles del pueblo su confitería ambulante.&lt;br /&gt;“¡Luego le voy a comprar su casa carnal!”.&lt;br /&gt;Pero la cosas no le fueron bien. Seis meses de pagar pasajes, comida, hospedaje y libros le bastaron para darse cuenta que eso del desempleo, sobre todo cuando lo quieres combinar con la vida universitaria, era cosa seria. Y por más tupido que fuera el tsunami de chiquillos de la 18 de Marzo que contribuía a su economía familiar, el carromato de Doña Ofe simplemente no pudo con la carrera.&lt;br /&gt;Un año y medio después de las dos Caguamas del “te veo después”, mientras nos echábamos otras frías en la puerta de mi casa, pasó por la calle el Toro, con tres cadenotas de oro al pecho, al volante de una F-150 achaparrada, faros de niebla y con un atardecer y una chica encuerada pintados en la carrocería.&lt;br /&gt;Tenía tres días en el pueblo, acababa de llegar de Sacramento. Sólo venía, dijo, a darle una vuelta a sus viejos y a vender el “mueble”.&lt;br /&gt;Ocho días después, el Migue estaba ya haciendo maletas para irse con el Toro al norte.&lt;br /&gt;La mitad de nuestros amigos del pueblo ya se le habían adelantado, pero no fue eso lo que lo convenció de sumarse a la lista de expatriados.&lt;br /&gt;“Por Doña Ofe carnal”, me dijo en la segunda despedida. “Va por ella”.&lt;br /&gt;Quienes conocimos a Migue y supimos siempre lo apegado que estaba a su madre, a nosotros y al pueblo, le pronosticamos sólo tres meses de aventura.&lt;br /&gt;Pasaron seis. Volvimos a hacer el pronóstico: sólo un año.&lt;br /&gt;Se cumplió el año, luego otro, y otros más y el Migue no volvió. Hasta el Toro regresó, para poner con sus ahorros un taller de lavadoras y refrigeradores que no le funcionó, pero no el Migue.&lt;br /&gt;Ahora sí, parecía que se acababa el acompasamiento de nuestros años.&lt;br /&gt;Con el tiempo, las llamadas se hicieron más raras, igual que los intentos por convencerlo de que volviera. Nuestras anécdotas del ayer se desgastaron a fuerza de tanto repetirlas sin tener nuevos relatos compartidos para refrescarlas.&lt;br /&gt;Comenzó a sentirse la lejanía. Siempre, por más que duela, los que se quedan, como los que se fueron, tienen que seguir sus vidas, así es este negocio.&lt;br /&gt;Hace dos años, los escolapios de la 18 de Marzo, salieron volados como de costumbre a encontrarse con la sonrisa y la vendimia de Doña Ofe, pero esta vez la acera de enfrente estaba vacía. Y así se quedó ya después.&lt;br /&gt;Una enfermedad nunca atendida la tumbó en la cama. Ya no se levantó. Fue perdiendo la conciencia poco a poco, fue fulminante. Pronto fue incapaz de reconocer a nadie. Cuando alguna especie de lucidez le llegaba, se enderezaba apenas y comenzaba a mirar por el cuarto. “Donde está mi’jo, ónde estás Migue, míralo, ven para acá”.&lt;br /&gt;Un pariente le llamó y le advirtió a Miguel que tenía que apurarse para alcanzar a verla, pero el Migue nunca llegó. Sepultamos a Doña Ofe un martes.&lt;br /&gt;Nunca le pregunté a Migue por qué no estuvo ahí. Yo sé por qué, y todos los que han compartido su suerte también lo saben. Migue dejó el pueblo hace 11 años y nunca pudo volver a atascarle de besos la cara a su madre. Después de más de una década de caminar caminos bifurcados, en marzo iré a Los Ángeles, donde Migue vive ahora, aunque ahora ya es el Mike. Nomás voy a saludarlo. Será la primera vez que lo veo desde que se fue del pueblo. No sé qué tanto tendremos aún en común si es que algo queda. Pa soltarnos la lengua de cualquier manera, ya compré las Caguamas, al rato a ver cómo las hago entrar en la maleta...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-2309642247914406778?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/2309642247914406778/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=2309642247914406778' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/2309642247914406778'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/2309642247914406778'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/12/caguamas-que-liberan.html' title='Caguamas que liberan'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-8071061114191649818</id><published>2008-12-21T22:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-21T22:04:33.047-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joyas'/><title type='text'>Última Carta: La Nueva Familia</title><content type='html'>De Antonio Navalón,&lt;br /&gt;En, Letras Libres&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuando la joven Stanley Ann Dunham salió de Kansas, corazón de la América profunda, para estudiar antropología en Hawái, lejos estaba de imaginar que su vida acabaría convirtiéndose en ejemplo de la transición estadounidense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stanley Ann, hija única de un matrimonio formado por anglosajones trabajadores de clase media, partió sin que Madelyn, su madre, pudiera suponer que la vida de esta típica familia americana sería arrasada por un huracán que la transformaría en emblema de las nuevas formas de vida familiar en el siglo XXI: poliédricas y multiculturales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para el resto de la historia, sigue el link: &lt;a href="http://www.letraslibres.com/index.php?art=13440"&gt;http://www.letraslibres.com/index.php?art=13440&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-8071061114191649818?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/8071061114191649818/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=8071061114191649818' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/8071061114191649818'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/8071061114191649818'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/12/ltima-carta-la-nueva-familia.html' title='Última Carta: La Nueva Familia'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-3799576878618108087</id><published>2008-12-21T21:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-21T21:58:33.542-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Music'/><title type='text'>De Amy winehouse</title><content type='html'>Tonight with words unspoken...

Buscaba el movimiento de un cuerpo, detectar una respiración, un quejido. No hubo nada.&lt;br /&gt;Después se metió a las cuevas debajo de Webb Chapel Rd., que forman parte de los canales recolectores de agua residual que corren por las entrañas de la ciudad.&lt;br /&gt;Sacó de nuevo la lamparita y apuntó a los montículos que se apreciaban a media luz. Quería saber si eran lo que parecían, rimeros de basura, y no los cuerpos acurrucados que suele encontrar aquí, cubiertos con cobijas raídas, periódicos y plástico, de personas que ya lo han perdido todo.&lt;br /&gt;Nada otra vez. En el recorrido por los escondrijos, Mayel no encontró lo que buscaba.&lt;br /&gt;Volvió entonces a la superficie y se encaminó a una taquería sobre la misma Webb Chapel, cerca de Lombardi. Y ahí, con su ropa embadurnada y la barba crecida, Mayel encontró lo que buscaba.&lt;br /&gt;Los dos hombres estaban de pie, en lo más oscuro de un callejón que circundaba el establecimiento, y con sus ojos inyectados miraron a Mayel, con desconfianza, mientras se acercaba a ellos.&lt;br /&gt;“¿Cómo están, cómo les va?”, dijo Mayel, con un apretón de manos.&lt;br /&gt;“No vine a decirles que ustedes son borrachos o drogadictos. Sólo quiero decirles que a veces, uno se mete en esas cosas y luego ya no sabe cómo salir. Si ustedes tienen ese problema y quieren dejar esa vida... empezar de nuevo, yo les echo la mano”.&lt;br /&gt;Mayel parecía un predicador, pero de los buenos. Un par de minutos después, los dos hombres estaban ya contando sus vidas, sin escatimar en detalles, sin omitir tragedias.&lt;br /&gt;Juan, nacido en Durango y llegado a Dallas hace 30 años, no paraba de lamentarse. Alguien le había robado, horas antes, la única cobija que tenía. Desapareció, dijo, del interior de una casa de campaña confeccionada con retazos de plástico y cartón por otros indigentes, en la ribera del canal, junto a la reja del cementerio Crown Hill.&lt;br /&gt;Rubén, de Chihuahua, confesó que no tenían donde dormir esa noche. La casita de campaña ya estaba ocupada, y en las cuevas del canal, justo debajo de sus pies, la lluvia había inundado sus camas.&lt;br /&gt;Cuando terminaron los relatos y antes de despedirse, Mayel sacó de su saco un fajo de tarjetas de cartulina verde y se las entregó a sus interlocutores, que ya eran tres.&lt;br /&gt;“¿Cansado de usar drogas?&lt;br /&gt;¿Cansado de tomar alcohol?&lt;br /&gt;¿Te gustaría cambiar?&lt;br /&gt;Llámanos, te ayudamos a&lt;br /&gt;salir de tu adicción.&lt;br /&gt;Hay una oportunidad para ti.&lt;br /&gt;La ayuda es totalmente gratis.&lt;br /&gt;(214) 659-3976&lt;br /&gt;Mayel López”.&lt;br /&gt;SUBHEAD&lt;br /&gt;Los tres hombres dieron las gracias y contestaron el adiós de Mayel, pero uno, el último en sumarse a la conversación, Guillermo, observaba irse casi con desesperación.&lt;br /&gt;“Yo te llamó, palabra, yo sí te llamo”, le decía, mientras Mayel se le perdía de vista.&lt;br /&gt;“La gente sí me llama después”, dice Mayel, “porque hay mucha gente que vive así, que necesita que alguien les dé esperanzas”. Y quizás le llamen también, porque Mayel siempre va dejando un rastro de tarjetas verdes por donde camina.&lt;br /&gt;Continuará...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-6220623488331466746?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/6220623488331466746/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=6220623488331466746' title='9 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/6220623488331466746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/6220623488331466746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/12/mayel-lopez.html' title='Mayel Lopez'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-4366906865120529868</id><published>2008-12-16T12:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-16T12:18:18.601-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dardos'/><title type='text'>Armando hoyos</title><content type='html'>“Guey” me envió una carta de odio contra Andrés Manuel López Obrador en las postrimerías de la campaña presidencial de 2006.

Is that being on our side?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the rest of the story, follow the link:  &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/19/opinion/19fri1.html?hp"&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/19/opinion/19fri1.html?hp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-5538112903060498380?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/5538112903060498380/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=5538112903060498380' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/5538112903060498380'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/5538112903060498380'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/09/they-both-have-to-tell-truth-in-english.html' title='They both have to tell the truth, in English or in Spanish, I don&apos;t care'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-7896516557824555513</id><published>2008-09-15T14:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-15T14:23:23.892-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joyas literarias'/><title type='text'>From Azinhaga to the web</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hRue8fM8Iqo/SM7SRYgGqDI/AAAAAAAAABw/XIue4rjMx8A/s1600-h/saramago.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246361812009920562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hRue8fM8Iqo/SM7SRYgGqDI/AAAAAAAAABw/XIue4rjMx8A/s200/saramago.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hRue8fM8Iqo/SM7PaP76dRI/AAAAAAAAABo/aZH0VxkLAbM/s1600-h/saramago.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Master, closer to us than never before.

Newspaper copy editing?”&lt;br /&gt;He checked with a colleague. “News History, on five,” she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fort the rest of the story, follow tha link:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/16/opinion/16mon4.html?em&amp;amp;ex=1213761600&amp;amp;en=eab66656fe5d3ec4&amp;amp;ei=5087%0A"&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/16/opinion/16mon4.html?em&amp;amp;ex=1213761600&amp;amp;en=eab66656fe5d3ec4&amp;amp;ei=5087%0A&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-5398763134076312414?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/5398763134076312414/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=5398763134076312414' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/5398763134076312414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/5398763134076312414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/06/even-when-everybody-already-knows-it-it.html' title=''/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-4877000372956011042</id><published>2008-06-12T17:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-12T17:48:09.685-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Justice'/><title type='text'>Abrazos al compilla Sifuentes, espero sí sea inocente</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;He spent almost 12 years behind bars for a crime, he says, he did not commit.

Specifically, how to salve popular anger at illegal immigrants without damaging an economy that has become reliant on their labor. With too many deportations, crops will rot in the field. But with too few, Minutemen with desert-colored Ghillie suits and night-vision goggles start patrolling the border.&lt;br /&gt;Politicians, however, may now have a tantalizing option for the dilemma of whether to deport or not to deport: do nothing at all. The U.S. economic downturn may already be encouraging undocumented workers to leave the country or not come over in the first place.

Today, that's a frequent problem in this city where the English-speaking population is outnumbered.&lt;br /&gt;The 49-year-old flower shop owner and Miami native said her inability to speak "espanol" makes it difficult to conduct business, seek help at stores and even ask directions. She finds it "frustrating."&lt;br /&gt;"It makes it hard for some people to find a job because they don't speak Spanish, and I don't think that it is right," said Green, who sometimes calls a Spanish-speaking friend to translate for customers who don't speak English.&lt;br /&gt;"Sometimes I think they should learn it," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://apnews.myway.com/image/20080529/Miami_Without_English.sff_NY109_20080529005323.html?date=20080529&amp;amp;docid=D90V6OEO0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(AP) Librarian Martha Phillips pauses as she talks to a reporter in Miami, Monday, April 21, 2008.... In many areas of Miami, Spanish has become the predominant language, replacing English in everyday life. Anyone from Latin America could feel at home on the streets, without having to pronounce a single word in English.&lt;br /&gt;In stores, shopkeepers wait on their clients in Spanish. Universities offer programs for Spanish speakers. And in supermarkets, banks, restaurants - even at the post office and government offices - information is given and assistance is offered in Spanish. In Miami, doctors and nurses speak Spanish with their patients and a large portion of advertising is in Spanish. Daily newspapers and radio and television stations cater to the Hispanic public.&lt;br /&gt;But this situation, so pleasing to Latin American immigrants, makes some English speakers feel marginalized. In the 1950s, it's estimated that more than 80 percent of Miami-Dade County residents were non-Hispanic whites. But in 2006, the Census Bureau estimates that number was only 18.5 percent, and in 2015 it is forecast to be 14 percent. Hispanics now make up about 60 percent.&lt;br /&gt;"The Anglo population is leaving," said Juan Clark, a sociology professor at Miami Dade College. "One of the reactions is to emigrate toward the north. They resent the fact that (an American) has to learn Spanish in order to have advantages to work. If one doesn't speak Spanish, it's a disadvantage."&lt;br /&gt;According to the Census, 58.5 percent of the county's 2.4 million residents speak Spanish - and half of those say they don't speak English well. English-only speakers make up 27.2 percent of the county's residents.&lt;br /&gt;In the mainly Cuban city of Hialeah and in the Miami neighborhood of Little Havana, 94 percent of residents identified themselves as Hispanic.&lt;br /&gt;Andrew Lynch, an expert on linguistics and bilingualism at the University of Miami, said that the presence of Spanish-speakers first became an issue in Miami-Dade County in the 1960s and '70s with the arrival of Cuban immigrants and intensified in the '80s with immigrants from not just Cuba, but Argentina, Venezuela and elsewhere in Latin America. The exodus of English speakers soon followed.&lt;br /&gt;James McCleary, his wife and two children left Miami in 1987 for Vermont, where he is now a farmer. McCleary, 58, said his inability to speak Spanish made it difficult for him to find work - it once took seven months to get hired as a cook.&lt;br /&gt;"The job market was very tough. It was very, very difficult," he said.&lt;br /&gt;His wife, Lauren, was born and raised in Miami and they visit at least twice a year, but she feels that it's no longer her hometown.&lt;br /&gt;"I don't like being there anymore. It is very, very different," she said. "I cannot live there anymore, I can't speak their language."&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, she likes the diversity of the population of South Florida and regrets not learning Spanish in school.&lt;br /&gt;Librarian Martha Phillips, 61, believes those who speak Spanish will continue to have more opportunities and she doesn't think that's necessarily fair. Phillips said she is sorry to see non-Spanish-speakers abandoning Miami, and said she's concerned that the area "will be like a branch of Latin America."&lt;br /&gt;"I do resent the fact that people seem to expect that the people who live here adjust to their ways, rather than learning English and making adjustments," she said. "Obviously I don't expect an older person to learn to speak English, but younger people come in and they don't seem to make much of an effort to learn to adapt to this country and they expect us to adapt to them."&lt;br /&gt;Some Spanish speakers say they have their own trouble with those who only speak English.&lt;br /&gt;Mary Bravo, a 37-year-old Venezuelan business owner, moved to Miami nine years ago. She understands English but only speaks a little.&lt;br /&gt;"This land is theirs. We should try to speak English," she said, "but they don't even try to understand us."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-8983838096168569373?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/8983838096168569373/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=8983838096168569373' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/8983838096168569373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/8983838096168569373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/05/world-belongs-to-those-with-at-least.html' title='The world belongs to those with at least two tongues'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-4098649370176789642</id><published>2008-05-29T22:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-29T22:34:12.948-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Culture'/><title type='text'>New York, avant-garde</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;The more ‘straight’ people supporting this kind of initiatives, the bigger advances will be achieved. There’s no more space in this world for the fuck’in retarded folks who enjoy insisting in the me-cago-en-tu-madre-ignorant-macho-menance. Yastuvo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From The New York Times:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 30, 2008&lt;br /&gt;Editorial&lt;br /&gt;A Step Closer to Justice&lt;br /&gt;New Yorkers should be proud of Gov. David Paterson’s efforts to assure basic civil rights for same-sex couples married outside the state. Now, the State Legislature should prove its own commitment to equality and justice by granting gay couples the right to marry in New York State.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Paterson has directed state agencies to respond to a recent court ruling by reviewing more than 1,300 state policies that affect married people. He wants to ensure that New York fully recognizes all legal marriage licenses, including those granted to gay couples in places like Massachusetts, Canada, South Africa and soon, California.&lt;br /&gt;If that sounds like mere paper shuffling in Albany, it is not. It means that New Yorkers who marry in San Francisco or Montreal can return home knowing that their rights will be protected. That is progress, especially since many states have specifically outlawed even the recognition of same-sex marriages granted legally elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;Despite the growing political outcry, Mr. Paterson is on firm legal, as well as moral, ground.&lt;br /&gt;For more than a century, New York has recognized marriage contracts from other states — even if those couples could not legally marry in New York. New York does not grant licenses for common law marriages, but if such marriages are legal elsewhere, they are recognized in New York. In February, a New York State appeals court ruled unanimously that this “marriage recognition rule” also had to apply to any same-sex couple with a legal marriage license obtained elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;While most Democrats in Albany have pushed for legislation to legalize gay marriage, most Republicans have argued that it is enough to adjust state laws to make them more equitable for same-sex couples. These half-measures have not worked.&lt;br /&gt;The New York City Bar Association and Empire State Pride Agenda last year identified more than 1,300 aspects of New York State law that either deny rights to gay couples or make their lives far more complicated.&lt;br /&gt;There are cases of one partner being denied access to a mate’s hospital room. People who have spent their adult lives together without the benefit of a marriage license can be compelled to testify against each other. Benefits for survivors from workers’ compensation go only to a legally recognized spouse.&lt;br /&gt;After one of the most vigorous and emotional floor debates in recent Albany history, the Democratic-controlled Assembly has passed a bill allowing same-sex couples to marry in New York. The Republican-controlled Senate has refused, so far, to act.&lt;br /&gt;Governor Paterson has worked hard to promote comity in Albany — we fear at the cost of many essential reforms. He should use his influence with the Republican Senate leader, Joseph Bruno, to get the Assembly version of the marriage bill passed this year.&lt;br /&gt;No matter their sexual orientation, New Yorkers should have the same fundamental right to marry. Governor Paterson has taken an important first step, but it is not enough. Now he needs to persuade the rest of Albany to do what is fair.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-4098649370176789642?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/4098649370176789642/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=4098649370176789642' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/4098649370176789642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/4098649370176789642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/05/new-york-avant-garde.html' title='New York, avant-garde'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-6654988782653919123</id><published>2008-05-27T16:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-27T21:20:50.534-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inmigración'/><title type='text'>El estímulo antiinmigrante</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Even my 'chiquita' wife, la foquita, may be considered &lt;em&gt;illegal&lt;/em&gt;, even though she has a visa and she is with me, sharing and suffering the worst part of this adventure titled "us in the US", just for love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The anti-immigrant rebate&lt;br /&gt;Some taxpayers won't get stimulus checks because of the status of a foreign-born spouse.&lt;br /&gt;May 27, 2008&lt;br /&gt;Call someone anti-immigrant for opposing public services for non-citizens, and chances are you'll be corrected. It's anti-illegal-immigrant, you'll be told, not anti-immigrant. To some extent, that's true. But the &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-me-rebate17-2008may17%2C0%2C5585602.story"&gt;arcane rules&lt;/a&gt; of the new economic stimulus package, which keep tax rebates from going to many legal residents and even citizens, show that the realities of immigration policy are more complicated, and more hostile to the foreign born, than such an answer implies.Under pressure from various groups -- let's call them "groups concerned about immigration" -- that opposed sending rebates to illegal immigrants, Congress wrote the package so that only people with Social Security numbers would get the money. That includes spouses of people who are legally employed in this country and, in a nasty extension, the employees themselves if they filed a joint tax return. In other words, say a citizen or legal immigrant files a joint return with someone who is here legally but doesn't have a work visa. That household won't get a tax rebate.Why aren't the groups that are only anti- illegal-immigrant lobbying against this inequitable treatment?Dan Stein, whose &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-me-rebate17-2008may17%2C0%2C5585602.story"&gt;Federation for American Immigration Reform&lt;/a&gt; had pushed to keep the money from illegal immigrants, has no problem with how things worked out. Legal immigrants, he said, are "people whose connections to the society are more tenuous." Barbara Coe, who founded the &lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/local/politics/cal/la-me-rebate17-2008may17%2C0%2C5585602.story"&gt;California Coalition for Immigration Reform,&lt;/a&gt; finds the marriage provision unfair -- unless, she said, the employee in the family was hired legally as "cheaper labor." Yet no one tries to stop this "cheaper labor" with supposedly tenuous connections from paying taxes.Congress is hastening to fix the problem, but only for U.S. &lt;a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110"&gt;troops&lt;/a&gt;:H.R.6081: deployed overseas. That's not enough. This country should send a clear message that it will not engage in official reaction against its legal foreign-born residents.

"La tenencia para consumo personal es una acción protegida por el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #fa7c00 1px solid; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://ads.us.e-planning.net/ei/3/2eaf/a42ee19c55910b40?rnd=0.5141047680593351&amp;amp;pb=630afb55a7c5690f&amp;amp;fi=ba681709bb689fa1&amp;amp;kw=derecho"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;color:#ffffff;"&gt;derecho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt; a la privacidad que es el basamento de las libertades civiles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lejos de ser una conducta prohibida es una conducta que consagra el ejercicio de la libertad", señalaron los jueces Benjamín Sal Llargués, Carlos Natiello y Horacio Piombo. Para los jueces, "criminalizar el daño que alguien –eventualmente- se produzca a sí mismo, como en el caso de consumo de drogas, significa la asunción estatal de un criterio paternalista autoritario que, por regla, resulta ajeno al principio de autonomía de la persona antes enunciado y nos remite a las peores épocas de nuestra historia reciente".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"La ley convierte y estigmatiza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt; al consumidor con la etiqueta de delincuente y lo castiga no obstante considerarlo víctima de un `vicio´ o de `una conducta desviada´", señalaron en el fallo."Al penalizar al simple tenedor (de drogas) para consumo personal, el Estado adiciona a su problema de drogadicción la criminalización, insertándolo en el sistema penal, creándole un antecedente que muy probablemente lo etiquete y lo perjudique en su futuro provocando, eventualmente, su estigmatización”, agregaron los jueces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Además, los magistrados tuvieron en cuenta la escasa cantidad de marihuana secuestrada al joven (0,4 décimos). "Dicha conducta queda comprendida en la esfera privada que protege la Constitución, por cuanto no causa riesgo o daño concreto a la salud pública. En el caso, el estupefaciente se ha tenido para uso personal, porque el quantum incautado revela a todas luces la motivación del tenedor".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De esta manera, los jueces declararon la inconstitucionalidad del artículo 14 de la Ley 23.737 la cual establece que "la pena será de un mes a dos años de prisión cuando por su escasa cantidad y demás circunstancias, sugiere inequívocamente que la tenencia es para uso personal". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-839273443874218110?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/839273443874218110/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=839273443874218110' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/839273443874218110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/839273443874218110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/05/escucharon-andrecito-pasme-un-chourrito.html' title='Escucharon a Calamaro, pasáme un chourrito, ya no hay tos'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-2765743232545798004</id><published>2008-05-24T11:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-24T11:34:08.628-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Economía'/><title type='text'>¿Por qué el petroleo nos está ahogando?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;color:#ff0000;"&gt;En su columna de The New York Times, Thomas L. Friedman nos regala un buen glimpse de lo que pasa con la industria petrolera. Échenle un ojo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 21, 2008&lt;br /&gt;Op-Ed Columnist&lt;br /&gt;Imbalances of Power&lt;br /&gt;By &lt;a title="More Articles by Thomas L. Friedman" href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/opinion/editorialsandoped/oped/columnists/thomaslfriedman/index.html?inline=nyt-per"&gt;THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been much debate in this campaign about which of our enemies the next U.S. president should deign to talk to. The real story, the next president may discover, though, is how few countries are waiting around for us to call. It is hard to remember a time when more shifts in the global balance of power are happening at once — with so few in America’s favor.&lt;br /&gt;Let’s start with the most profound one: More and more, I am convinced that the big foreign policy failure that will be pinned on this administration is not the failure to make Iraq work, as devastating as that has been. It will be one with much broader balance-of-power implications — the failure after 9/11 to put in place an effective energy policy.&lt;br /&gt;It baffles me that President Bush would rather go to Saudi Arabia twice in four months and beg the Saudi king for an oil price break than ask the American people to drive 55 miles an hour, buy more fuel-efficient cars or accept a carbon tax or gasoline tax that might actually help free us from what he called our “addiction to oil.”&lt;br /&gt;The failure of Mr. Bush to fully mobilize the most powerful innovation engine in the world — the U.S. economy — to produce a scalable alternative to oil has helped to fuel the rise of a collection of petro-authoritarian states — from Russia to Venezuela to Iran — that are reshaping global politics in their own image.&lt;br /&gt;If this huge transfer of wealth to the petro-authoritarians continues, power will follow. According to Congressional testimony Wednesday by the energy expert Gal Luft, with oil at $200 a barrel, OPEC could “potentially buy Bank of America in one month worth of production, Apple computers in a week and General Motors in just three days.”&lt;br /&gt;But that’s not all. Two compelling new books have just been published that describe two other big power shifts: “The Post-American World,” by Fareed Zakaria, the editor of Newsweek International, and “Superclass” by David Rothkopf, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment.&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Zakaria’s central thesis is that while the U.S. still has many unique assets, “the rise of the rest” — the Chinas, the Indias, the Brazils and even smaller nonstate actors — is creating a world where many other countries are slowly moving up to America’s level of economic clout and self-assertion, in every realm. “Today, India has 18 all-news channels of its own,” notes Zakaria. “And the perspectives they provide are very different from those you will get in the Western media. The rest now has the confidence to present its own narrative, where it is at the center.”&lt;br /&gt;For too long, argues Zakaria, America has taken its many natural assets — its research universities, free markets and diversity of human talent — and assumed that they will always compensate for our low savings rate or absence of a health care system or any strategic plan to improve our competitiveness.&lt;br /&gt;“That was fine in a world when a lot of other countries were not performing,” argues Zakaria, but now the best of the rest are running fast, working hard, saving well and thinking long term. “They have adopted our lessons and are playing our game,” he said. If we don’t fix our political system and start thinking strategically about how to improve our competitiveness, he added, “the U.S. risks having its unique and advantageous position in the world erode as other countries rise.”&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Rothkopf’s book argues that on many of the most critical issues of our time, the influence of all nation-states is waning, the system for addressing global issues among nation-states is more ineffective than ever, and therefore a power void is being created. This void is often being filled by a small group of players — “the superclass” — a new global elite, who are much better suited to operating on the global stage and influencing global outcomes than the vast majority of national political leaders.&lt;br /&gt;Some of this new elite “are from business and finance,” says Rothkopf. “Some are members of a kind of shadow elite — criminals and terrorists. Some are masters of new or traditional media; some are religious leaders, and a few are top officials of those governments that do have the ability to project their influence globally.”&lt;br /&gt;The next president will have to manage these new rising states and these new rising individuals and networks, while wearing the straightjacket left in the Oval Office by Mr. Bush.&lt;br /&gt;“Call it the triple deficit,” said Mr. Rothkopf. “A fiscal deficit that will soon have us choosing between rationed health care, sufficient education, adequate infrastructure and traditional levels of defense spending, a trade deficit that has us borrowing from our rivals to the point of real vulnerability, and a geopolitical deficit that is a legacy of Iraq, which may result in hesitancy to take strong stands where we must.”&lt;br /&gt;The first rule of holes is when you’re in one, stop digging. When you’re in three, bring a lot of shovels.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-2765743232545798004?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/2765743232545798004/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=2765743232545798004' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/2765743232545798004'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/2765743232545798004'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2008/05/por-qu-el-petroleo-nos-est-ahogando.html' title='¿Por qué el petroleo nos está ahogando?'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-6457462438283728866</id><published>2008-05-16T14:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-16T15:15:30.358-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cosas de Dios'/><title type='text'>Religion equals immorality, take a look</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;color:#ff0000;"&gt;Isn't all these enough?

la tiranía de ese miedo aderezado con desesperanza que surge cuando la criminalidad campea sin que se aprecien salidas. Quién sabe cuántos &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;mexicanos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; están completamente hasta la madre de que en nuestro país no se pueda vivir como la gente, o pensando en que la ruta de la ilegalidad (entre más atroz mejor, por supuesto) hubiera sido un sendero para la vida propia, con más posibilidades de éxito que la cada vez más pedregosa vía de la honestidad y el trabajo duro. Cuántos quisieran tener en sus manos para ajustarle las cuentas, desarmado y sujetado a una silla, a uno de esos valientes que suelen &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;serlo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; sólo cuando sienten la ventaja de un &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Ak&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 47 en su mano derecha.

Agricultores de la zona encontraron un cuerpo, cuando realizaban sus actividades, por lo que de inmediato dieron aviso a las autoridades, quienes al arribar confirmaron el hecho y dieron parte al agente del Ministerio Público.&lt;br /&gt;Descubrieron el cuerpo de un hombre, quien permanece en calidad de desconocido, de entre 20 y 22 años de edad, mismo que tenía manos y píes atados con cinta canela, estaba amordazado, presentaba señales de tortura y varios impactos de arma de fuego, en distintas partes del cuerpo. El rostro lo tenía cubierto con una cartulina pegada y en la misma pintada con plumón la leyenda: “Entiendan nosotros no queremos secuestradores, ni gente abusiva. Atentamente: Grupo Tarasco”.&lt;br /&gt;Al filo de las 13:00 horas, es decir, con pocas horas de diferencia, en la carretera federal &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Zacapu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;-Zamora en el &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;ejido&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; El &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Pueblito&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, justo a la altura del rancho Quinta &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Evangelina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; en el primer municipio, se reportó un nuevo hallazgo de un cadáver. Lo anterior movilizó a corporaciones policíacas confirmando el hecho.&lt;br /&gt;Se trataba de un hombre de entre 22 y 24 años de edad, quien vestía pantalón de mezclilla azul y una camisa blanca deportiva y presentaba un impacto de bala, calibre 10 milímetros en la sien derecha. El cadáver traía en el pecho una cartulina con una leyenda que decía: “Entiendan bandidos y secuestradores que nosotros no vamos a permitir esto Atentamente: Grupo Tarasco”.&lt;br /&gt;Cazadores y grupos de supuesta protección&lt;br /&gt;Hace apenas un par de años, autoridades del estado comenzaron a localizar cabezas humanas en distintas partes de la geografía &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;michoacana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, acompañadas de mensajes de advertencia en los que se rechazaban a los secuestradores y los vendedores de la droga conocida como ‘hielo’.&lt;br /&gt;Quien firmaba los letreros encontrados siempre a un lado de los cráneos, era La Familia &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Michoacana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, organización que incluso se difundió y conoció públicamente a través de una inserción pagada en medios impresos estatales, en las que se &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;autodenominada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; como un grupo de ciudadanos cansados de la delincuencia que privaba en la entidad.&lt;br /&gt;Semanas después, la Procuraduría General de la República informó que La Familia, era una ramificación del grupo de sicarios al servicio del &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Cártel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; del Golfo, mejor conocidos como Los Zetas, quienes tenían la encomienda de eliminar a grupos rivales, disfrazada de grupo justiciero.&lt;br /&gt;Asimismo, en noviembre del año pasado en las comunidades de Santa Clara y &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;Opopeo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; se registraron severas manifestaciones de los pobladores, que incluyeron el secuestro de funcionarios federales, estatales y municipales, para demandar una mayor atención de las autoridades en materia de seguridad.&lt;br /&gt;En esa ocasión, los &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;inconformes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; señalaban que Los Zetas cobraban una cuota a todos los habitantes para contar con su protección y no ser víctimas de secuestro y extorsión, en caso de no atender a la demanda, serían asesinados ellos y sus familias.&lt;br /&gt;Ante esto, no se descarta que sea un grupo surgido de la propia población &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;inconforme&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.

George y yo fuimos al mismo kínder, cerca del jardín donde, todavía hoy, &lt;em&gt;El Guama&lt;/em&gt; vende los mejores &lt;em&gt;chemos &lt;/em&gt;del mundo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;. Varios años después, George me acompañó a recibir a la universidad mi carta de aceptado. Nunca convivimos mucho, pero estábamos cerca. Hace varios años me dijo que era gay. Me sentí mal por él. Imaginé varias veces lo que le venía, no creo haber estado cerca nunca de lo que la vida para él ha sido. Un día se me atravesó este texto en el camino. Quisiera que lo leyera todo mundo, sobre todo quienes han estado y estarán en su vida. Pronto, creo, ese tipo de noticia no generará pena, será sólo un comentario, como cualquiera de esos que son siempre buen pretexto para echarse una chela más. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Makes People Gay?&lt;br /&gt;The debate has always been that it was either all in the child's upbringing or all in the genes. But what if it's something else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Neil Swidey August 14, 2005&lt;br /&gt;With crystal-blue eyes, wavy hair, and freshly scrubbed faces, the boys look as though they stepped out of a Pottery Barn Kids catalog. They are 7-year-old twins. I'll call them Thomas and Patrick; their parents agreed to let me meet the boys as long as I didn't use their real names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spend five seconds with them, and there can be no doubt that they are identical twins - so identical even they can't tell each other apart in photographs. Spend five minutes with them, and their profound differences begin to emerge.&lt;br /&gt;Patrick is social, thoughtful, attentive. He repeatedly addresses me by name. Thomas is physical, spontaneous, a bit distracted. Just minutes after meeting me outside a coffee shop, he punches me in the upper arm, yells, "Gray punch buggy!" and then points to a Volkswagen Beetle cruising past us. It's a hard punch. They horse around like typical brothers, but Patrick's punches are less forceful and his voice is higher. Thomas charges at his brother, arms flexed in front of him like a mini-bodybuilder. The differences are subtle - they're 7-year-old boys, after all - but they are there.&lt;br /&gt;When the twins were 2, Patrick found his mother's shoes. He liked wearing them. Thomas tried on his father's once but didn't see the point.&lt;br /&gt;When they were 3, Thomas blurted out that toy guns were his favorite things. Patrick piped up that his were the Barbie dolls he discovered at day care.&lt;br /&gt;When the twins were 5, Thomas announced he was going to be a monster for Halloween. Patrick said he was going to be a princess. Thomas said he couldn't do that, because other kids would laugh at him. Patrick seemed puzzled. "Then I'll be Batman," he said.&lt;br /&gt;Their mother - intelligent, warm, and open-minded - found herself conflicted. She wanted Patrick - whose playmates have always been girls, never boys - to be himself, but she worried his feminine behavior would expose him to ridicule and pain. She decided to allow him free expression at home while setting some limits in public.&lt;br /&gt;That worked until last year, when a school official called to say Patrick was making his classmates uncomfortable. He kept insisting that he was a girl.&lt;br /&gt;Patrick exhibits behavior called childhood gender nonconformity, or CGN. This doesn't describe a boy who has a doll somewhere in his toy collection or tried on his sister's Snow White outfit once, but rather one who consistently exhibits a host of strongly feminine traits and interests while avoiding boy-typical behavior like rough-and-tumble play. There's been considerable research into this phenomenon, particularly in males, including a study that followed boys from an early age into early adulthood. The data suggest there is a very good chance Patrick will grow up to be homosexual. Not all homosexual men show this extremely feminine behavior as young boys.

Si acaso, muchos de ellos pecan (ah qué atávico lexicón) de arrogantes, embarrando en la cara de los fieles la idiotez de su devoción. Pero en general son polemistas brillantes y escritores notables, rebosantes de argumentos. Destaco cuatro libros: El espejismo de Dios, del conspicuo ateo Richard Dawkins, mejor conocido como “el rottweiler de Darwin”; God is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, del notable periodista Christopher Hitchens, quien ya se había despachado a la Madre Teresa en uno de sus furibundos y bien documentados embates; La vida eterna, del incansable Fernando Savater (el suyo no es un libro sobre el ateísmo sino sobre el asombro del autor ante la persistencia de Dios); Manual de ateología, de Michel Onfray, una especie de “ateísmo explicado a los niños” que se lee de un tirón.&lt;br /&gt;Hay más, por supuesto (Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett), pero baste esta cuarteta para señalar un clima, acaso una tendencia que no deja de ser osada en días en los que gran parte del ateísmo aún se encuentra encerrado en el clóset. Y es que, por miedo o flojera justificada ante los dedos flamígeros de los hijos de Dios, el ateo se disfraza eufemísticamente de agnóstico, o simplemente escurre el bulto y se hace pato.&lt;br /&gt;Estos ateos, en quienes viaja el gen de la ciencia y el rigor, se han leído su Biblia y su Corán mejor que muchísimos creyentes, encontrando en dichos libros infinidad de discrepancias y despropósitos. Son textos simbólicos, reviran los fieles. Pero las Cruzadas no fueron simbólicas, contraatacan los ateos. “Dios no creó al hombre a su imagen y semejanza, sino al revés”, dice por ahí Hitchens. Y Savater: “En cuestiones políticas o legales, Dios debe guardar silencio institucional, lo cual no puede ser una pérdida verdaderamente seria para Alguien capaz de hablar directamente a los corazones de los hombres”. Onfray proclama la superioridad de “nuestro único bien verdadero: la vida terrena”. Y el rottweiler: “Cualquier inteligencia creativa lo suficientemente compleja como para diseñar algo, existe sólo como el producto final de un extenso proceso de evolución gradual”. Por supuesto que hay un espíritu religioso en el que creía incluso Einstein, pero lo que se discute, por poner un ejemplo entre miles, es la creencia en un Dios sobrenatural que un día le dijo a un predicador que lo iba a matar si no reunía ocho millones de dólares –y los reunió. El tema es infinito. El hombre, ante el vacío, se agarra de algo. ¿Y por qué no de un telescopio?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-4116449061853574967?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/4116449061853574967/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=4116449061853574967' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/4116449061853574967'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/4116449061853574967'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2007/10/por-qu-no-nos-agarramos-de-un.html' title='Por qué no nos agarramos de un telescopio?'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-1586562352858073075</id><published>2007-10-26T10:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T10:55:00.772-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cosas de Dios'/><title type='text'>Dios contesta demanda</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;color:#ff0000;"&gt;El mismo día en que subí el post sobre la demanda en contra de Dios, encontré que ya Dios envió un par de cartas para defenderse, escondidamente y no en los tribunales, como sería de esperarse de alguien que tenga una buena opinión de la ley, aunque sea la de los hombres. Este es texto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dios 'contesta' en dos cartas a la demanda del senador Ernie Chambers&lt;br /&gt;20MINUTOS.ES. 23.09.2007 - 08:50h&lt;br /&gt;En una de ellas argumenta que las leyes humanas no pueden juzgarle.&lt;br /&gt;En el texto se indica que el arcángel San Miguel es testigo de la veracidad del documento.&lt;br /&gt;Chambers acusó a Dios de ser responsable de multitud de catástrofes.&lt;br /&gt;Hace algunos días se conoció la &lt;a href="http://www.20minutos.es/noticia/278083/0/demanda/dios/"&gt;insólita demanda que Ernie Chambers&lt;/a&gt; , senador estatal de Nebraska, había presentado ante la Corte del distrito y en la que acusaba a Dios de haber causado una serie de "nefastas catástrofes" en el mundo, que han provocado miseria y destrucción. Sin embargo, lo que nadie se imaginaba es que "el acusado" respondería tan pronto.&lt;br /&gt;Según parece, Dios ha enviado dos cartas contestando a las acusaciones de Chambers y defendiéndose ante la demanda. En una de ellas, encontrada "misteriosamente" por un empleado de la Corte del distrito de Douglas, su autor asegura ser Dios y afirma que no puede ser juzgado "porque existen leyes que me protegen en estos casos y la corte no tiene jurisdicción para tratarlos".&lt;br /&gt;El arcángel San Miguel es testigo de la veracidad de la cartaJunto con otros argumentos a través de los que declara su inocencia, el autodenominado "Dios" se justifica escribiendo que "creé al hombre y a la mujer con capacidad de decidir por sí mismos, y ésto es uno de los mayores regalos que os he hecho".&lt;br /&gt;La supuesta carta de Dios no incluía datos de contacto, aunque el autor asegura en el texto que el arcángel San Miguel es testigo de la veracidad del documento.&lt;br /&gt;Además, también ha aparecido una segunda nota firmada por Dios en la que rebate todos los argumentos de Chambers, aunque ésta incluía un número de teléfono perteneciente a una comunidad religiosa.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-1586562352858073075?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/1586562352858073075/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=1586562352858073075' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/1586562352858073075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/1586562352858073075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2007/10/dios-contesta-demanda.html' title='Dios contesta demanda'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-3793949562298844786</id><published>2007-10-26T10:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T10:38:03.868-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cosas de Dios'/><title type='text'>La defensa de Dios no da señales de vida</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;color:#cc0000;"&gt;En septiembre pasado, Ernie Chambers, un senador de Nebraska, demandó judicialmente a Dios acusándolo de causar, a lo largo de ya varios siglos de historia, infinidad de nefastas catástrofes a la humanidad.

El asunto es que con todo el poderío que los representantes de Dios en la tierra ostentan hoy en día, no ha salido el gallo ensotanado que defienda a Dios en los tribunales. Aquí la nota de la demanda, a la que habrá que darle seguimiento porque, el hecho de que alguien pudiera salir a defender el caso, podría constituir el preludio de la venida gloriosa de Jesucristo... la salvación tan esperada de todos aquellos que se murieron con la esperanza de la resurrección.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un senador estadounidense demanda a Dios por causar "catástrofes" en el mundo&lt;br /&gt;EFE. 19.09.2007 - 03:59h&lt;br /&gt;Fue admitida a trámite el pasado 14 de septiembre por la Corte del distrito de Douglas, en Nebraska.&lt;br /&gt;Ante la imposibilidad de que Dios se presente en el proceso, se cita a los representantes de "varias religiones".&lt;br /&gt;El demandante reconoce que ha hecho "razonables esfuerzos" para invocar al demandado.&lt;br /&gt;El senador estatal de Nebraska, Ernie Chambers, presentó una demanda judicial contra Dios, al que acusa de haber causado "nefastas catástrofes" en el mundo, que han provocado muerte y destrucción sin misericordia.&lt;br /&gt;El escrito fue admitido a trámite el pasado 14 de septiembre por la Corte del distrito de Douglas, en Nebraska, en una prueba más de que en Estados Unidos las demandas pueden prosperar pese a lo extravagante que sea su contenido.&lt;br /&gt;La demanda reconoce que el "demandado" es conocido con varios "alias, títulos, nombres y designaciones".&lt;br /&gt;Ante la imposibilidad de que Dios se presente en el proceso, se cita a los representantes de "varias religiones, denominaciones, y cultos que, de manera notoria, reconocen ser agentes del demandado y hablan en su representación.&lt;br /&gt;Intenta invocar al demandado&lt;br /&gt;El demandante reconoce que ha hecho "razonables esfuerzos" para invocar al demandado, con llamados de "manifiéstate, manifiéstate, donde quiera que estés", aunque sin éxito.&lt;br /&gt;El demandado no ha mostrado ni compasión ni remordimiento&lt;br /&gt;En la demanda, el senador lanza en lenguaje bíblico varias acusaciones contra Dios, como que ha causado "espantosas inundaciones, egregios terremotos, horrendos huracanes, terroríficos tornados, perniciosas plagas, feroces hambrunas, devastadoras sequías, y guerras genocidas".&lt;br /&gt;Todas estas "nefastas catástrofes" han provocado "muertes generalizadas, destrucciones y ha aterrorizado a millones y millones de habitantes de la tierra, incluidos bebés inocentes, niños, ancianos y enfermos, sin ninguna distinción".&lt;br /&gt;Con todo ello, "el demandado no ha mostrado ni compasión ni remordimiento", y no contento con esto, incluso ha proclamado que "reirá cuando las calamidades ocurran". Para Chambers, que ocupa un asiento en el Senado de Nebraska desde 1970, "la conducta pasada y la historia del demandado hace ver que sus amenazas terroríficas son creíbles".&lt;br /&gt;Por ello, pide al juez que someta a Dios a un proceso judicial, no sin antes pedirle que le haga un requerimiento permanente para que cese en sus "acciones destructivas y sus amenazas terroríficas".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-3793949562298844786?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/3793949562298844786/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=3793949562298844786' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/3793949562298844786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/3793949562298844786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2007/10/la-defensa-de-dios-no-da-seales-de-vida.html' title='La defensa de Dios no da señales de vida'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-969053859051148746.post-7453788248396959636</id><published>2007-10-26T09:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-26T11:15:35.436-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joyas'/><title type='text'>AHHH Feelings</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qz7VcdlJ3FI"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qz7VcdlJ3FI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Fracasé en mi intento por escribir un texto que fuera una buena carta de presentación para este blog. Pero encontré uno que le acomodará más. Primero, porque casi me sacó lágrimas y después, porque responde más al espíritu que quiero impregnarle a este espacio. No quiero que sea mi página, quiero que sea una página de lo que me inspira día a día. Este es el último reporte de Tom Bullock, corresponsal de NPR en la zona de ocupación.

An American soldier lounging in a plastic lawn chair. He was manning a checkpoint on the Iraqi Jordanian border. I was speeding past in a Chevy Suburban, trying to get to Baghdad as soon as I could.&lt;br /&gt;It was just after the invasion, and this was the golden era — or at least that's how it seems now.&lt;br /&gt;We worked our butts off. But looking back now, what I remember most is how we spent our down time.&lt;br /&gt;I found time to swim, safely, across both the Tigris and Euphrates — though not on the same day. When I needed a haircut I'd walk down the block to an Iraqi barbershop that looked like something out of the Andy Griffith Show.&lt;br /&gt;At a pizza parlor not far from where we use to live there was a piano and an Iraqi-Armenian who had an amazing ear for music. You'd walk in and he'd hand you a dog eared copy of the songs he could play and demand you make a request. He spoke almost no English and the song titles showed it. "Fly Me to the Moon" became "Fling Me at the Moon." Whatever the name, the guy could play – and the pizza was great.&lt;br /&gt;On a regular basis American troops would show up there to buy dozens of pies to go, then throw them in the back of their armored vehicles and drive them back to their base — basically the world's most heavily protected pizza delivery service.&lt;br /&gt;That world was brilliant, brief, and, is no more.&lt;br /&gt;As the violence increased everything in Baghdad changed. The Americans became isolated behind barriers in the Green Zone and U.S. bases. All of Baghdad turned into 12-foot high concrete blast walls and razor wire that spread through the city like kudzu.&lt;br /&gt;Our reporting changed too. Dominated by stories of car bombs, insurgent attacks and then civil war, millions of Iraqis fleeing and thousands dying as Shiites and Sunnis cleansed neighborhoods and bombed markets.&lt;br /&gt;Kidnappings became commonplace.&lt;br /&gt;I became a prisoner in our bureau. To go out meant putting not only my own life at risk, but the lives of my translators and drivers as well. So we taught the Iraqis we work with our trade, and they became journalists.&lt;br /&gt;Our entire Iraqi staff is now made up of refugees. Each one has been forced to flee his or her home and seek safety in another neighborhood. Not because they work with us, but because they prayed slightly differently than the militia on their street.&lt;br /&gt;They're some of the most amazing people I've known. And through all of this they come to work everyday, and our bureau has kept running.&lt;br /&gt;Working in Baghdad is a strange thing. You get accustomed to the long days and constant work. You learn to live with having no where to let off steam. The cycle is simple: wake up, work, repeat.&lt;br /&gt;You weed through press releases and sit through press conferences, which seem at odds with the reality we — living the Red Zone, the real world — know all too well.&lt;br /&gt;Some of my favorites: a series of statements from the Iraqi government saying reconciliation is at hand. Read the fine print and make some phone calls, and you found out there's been a meeting to agree on a more important meeting on some unknown day in Iraq's very unknowable future.&lt;br /&gt;Or, the US military saying Iraqi forces will be able to take over security in the country in 12 to 18 months. I've been told that regularly for the last three plus years.&lt;br /&gt;Some press releases are just plain strange: U.S. troops defuse an explosive device strapped to a donkey. I'm pleased to report the donkey was unharmed by the way.&lt;br /&gt;Have I been harmed? I've come close. But after 21 tours my body and mind seem to have held up OK.&lt;br /&gt;And while the marriages of a number of journalists and soldiers I know here have fallen apart, I managed to fall in love with and marry a beautiful bride.&lt;br /&gt;I met Carrie just before I started coming to Iraq. She's supported me through four-and-a-half years of this.&lt;br /&gt;My last view of Baghdad will be of the city by air. I will leave frustrated at that death of that golden era of pizza parlors and barber shops; frustrated with Iraqi's I've talked to who proudly say "we are all brothers," then take up arms against each other; frustrated with American military and civilian officials who stand up and say everything in Iraq is working, then when they leave write books about how everything in Iraq has failed and its not their fault.&lt;br /&gt;And I'm pained by the number of people I've personally known who've been killed here: journalists, Iraqis and American soldiers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/969053859051148746-7453788248396959636?l=advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/feeds/7453788248396959636/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=969053859051148746&amp;postID=7453788248396959636' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/7453788248396959636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/969053859051148746/posts/default/7453788248396959636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://advocatusdiabolis.blogspot.com/2007/10/feelings.html' title='AHHH Feelings'/><author><name>Tavo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08383069641526059004</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
