El poder de la palabra escrita, ha ido disminuyendo, primero se convirtio en periodicos, despues en revistas que cumplian un deber social. Las de nota roja, llevaban los ultimos reportes en crimenes. Los cuentos semanales llevaban historias de superheroes, o cuentos de grandes aventuras. La palabra pronunciada por radio y TV llego a su cumbre cuando depues del cine se convirtio en la forma mas poderosa de reprogramacion del pueblo. El pueblo, ese conjunto olvidado de personas trabajadoras cuyos impuestos y pagos por servicios que ni consumen, ayudan a subsistir una economia que se tambalea. El pueblo, si la gente comun, los que consumian ir al cine, los que compraban tvs y se pasaban los domingos viendo a Raul Velasco. Ese pueblo a despertado, ya no es el mismo, es un dragon. Una leyenda que esta a punto de convertirse en realidad, nos dice que El imperio Azteca se levantara despues de 500 años,(conquistada el 1521... sucedera el 2021?).. Cada vez que nos llama la atencion d

I made a mistake, I asked God for help, He guided me to the place, where no one cares, to a desert of love, without love, to a city without people to a lonely planet a planet without air sofocating I made a mistake, once now He has to wait I will not beg for help, nor mercy to hell with the creators of imaginary hells heavens and gardens of eden to hell with angels that dessapear from one's imagination Making mistakes is my human nature some time we tell lies because there is no distinction with the reality within what we see is the lie, what moves us is inside, the eternal truth, my imagination, I will be stupid if I share it with you some have trumpled over it. Yeah, God brought me here I can not blame Him to a country of atheism to a place of no belief I made a mistake, I listened to the man that holds the book the book he never read the book that never said for me to go the book that tells me now to stay. To late I am gone from planet earth, to

Most of the time when I get approached by christians their cuestion is: Do you believe in God? or Have you read the Bible?. Believing in God has nothing to do with the Bible. Lets begin by looking back to some personalities mentioned in the bible that christian religion itself recognize them as part of the inheritance of that belief system. Abram was his name, he woke up one day and looked around. He talk to his wife and out of the conversation, very likely a new thought came out. There has to be more. More of what?, there has to be more than drugs, drug users, prostitutes, corruption, slave selling,compromising with the market place, fighting for a piece of bread. There were so many things wrong with Ur, a Chaldean city. His story began passed Adam being kicked out of Eden, even passed Noah, and passed Sodom and Gomorra. What desition Abram took? Let's get the hell out of town! Of course the wife asked, why? He stated that the ONE and only God, (monoteism) has inspired

Since Babylonian times mankind had the necessity to create a stable society. What creates a stable society? No one knows. Social experiments have been out there since writing was discovered. Long ago a lonely man who could not fight or hunt decided that somewhere inside his counterparts mind there was a fear for nature so he decided to test this theory. Lightening was a sign, everybody fear this god of the sky, they have seen trees being burn down and big animals killed by it. This man stood under the rain and the lightening and nothing happened to him now he was a fearless man and he showed the others how easy it is to stand under the rain and not get killed. The other members of the tribe started to see this man as a selected ONE, the one that could listen to lightening and stand under the rain and feel no fear, the one who probably could if HE wanted even to stop the rain. Then suddenly the rain stopped, all this other people came out from hiding, what was so special about this man?

Puedes creer lo que tu quieras, vivimos en una sociedad libre. Los problemas surgen cuando la creencia toma cuerpo, y ese cuerpo es tratado como algo que se debe compartir en vez de valorar como parte de un poder interno. Al tratar de compartir esa creencia ya estamos violando el derecho de la otra persona a creer como el o ella quiera. Cabe definir que estamos hablando de religiones y mitos, no de conductas destructivas, las conductas destructivas, (alcoholismo, drogadiccion, o addiccion de cualquier formato) no son creencias, el usuario le agrega valores religiosos, o de "iluminacion" o simplemente, se convence de que no es nociva para la salud. Los que creemos en la preservacion de la vida humana, y la vida en general, creemos que los quimicos que alteran el desarrollo normal de las neuronas, afectan por ende la evolucion natural del ser humano. Esta conviccion surge de los siglos de observacion, por eso debemos estar concientes de la historia, no unicamente de la hist

Most everyone in this country knows, or has a friend that knows a Mexican. Not all of them are landscapers, painters or otherwise, some are engineers, architects, teachers, doctors, etc. The problem is, there are only landscaping jobs for the undocumented migrant. It does not matter that in Spanish they are the most educated, and they also are the leaders that could make a difference in the world. Sure, if you say "why don't they try to better the country they come from..?" you are probably right asking this question. Unfortunately, for many immigrants from Mexico that was not the choice they had back there and back then. Let me expound on that. After the 50's the US send missionaries to Mexico. These missionaries established, sunday schools and churches and started to teach biblical lessons. These lessons were not the traditional theology that the mexicans knew, via the catholic church. These lessons were a different interpretation, by different theologians, Martin L

Hay dos clases de miedo, uno, el miedo que nos empuja a aprender, nos motiva a leer mas, a investigar, para asi algun dia tener mejor respuesta a las pregunts de las futuras generaciones. De esta forma ayudamos a protejer la vida humana. Aportamos a la ciencia, nos tomamos de la mano con la erudicion. Este miedo es bueno. El otro miedo, nos detiene, nos agarramos de un solo libro escrito por miembros de una tribu nomada. Ese miedo nos convierte en celosos protectores de una "verdad" incompleta, y por ello vamos a guerra con los que no estan de acuerdo con nuestra interpretacion, y la vida humana baja de valor. Este miedo es malo.
