2013 .... prefecto para salirnos de nuestra zona de confort

El Gran Dictador 72 años Despues y aun relevante

Cuando primero salió en 1940, tuvo un gran impacto y creo no se ha perdido la relevancia con el paso de los años

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor, that's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. We all want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.

The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in;
machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
Our knowledge has made us cynical,
our cleverness hard and unkind.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery we need humanity,
more than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say: do not despair.

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators will die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish.

Soldiers: don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, as cannon fodder!

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men,machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts.

You are not machines!
You are not cattle!
You are men!!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts.
You don't hate, only the unloved hate.
The unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers: don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!

In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written:- "The kingdom of God is within man." Not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men: in you!

You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite!

Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security.

By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.

Now let us fight to fulfil that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.

Soldiers! In the name of democracy: let us all unite!

Un increíble video celebrando la belleza de este nuevo comienzo.

Si tomas no manejes....

Esta es una campaña muy fuerte que lanzaron hace 20 años en Australia y que ha bajado radicalmente los accidentes por el abuso del alcohol.

En estas fechas de fiesta vale la pena verlo y compartirlo.

‎...It is Christmas time, a halting of hate time.

‎...It is Christmas time, a halting of hate time.On this platform of peace, we can create a language
to translate ourselves to ourselves and to each other.
At this Holy Instant, we celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ
Into the great religions of the world.We jubilate the precious advent of trust.We shout with glorious tongues the coming of hope.All the earth’s tribes loosen their voices to celebrate the promise ofPeace...Maya Angelou

‎"Christmas is the festival of peace.

Every year it comes in its own good time. But peace inside and among us can come only through persistent effort. This holiday reminds us that all people yearn for peace. Every year it admonishes us to be vigilant against the enemies of peace that lurk inside all of us, lest they cause harm not only at Christmastime but throughout the year." -Albert Einstein

Asi sera el 2030?

Change of Heart

Joe Scarborough, one of the few more Right Conservative, have finally seen that this massacre makes all previous attempts of defense of laissez faire gun policy untenable. It means that going forward this event will mark the change many have been waiting for.

"I knew that day that the ideologies of my past career were no longer relevant to the future that I want, that I demand for my children. Friday changed everything. It must change everything. We all must begin anew and demand that Washington’s old way of doing business is no longer acceptable. Entertainment moguls don’t have an absolute right to glorify murder while spreading mayhem in young minds across America. And our Bill of Rights does not guarantee gun manufacturers the absolute right to sell military-style, high-caliber, semi-automatic combat assault rifles with high-capacity magazines to whoever the hell they want."

New State Department Travel Warning Says Most Mexican Tourist Spots Safe

New State Department Travel Warning Says Most Mexican Tourist Spots Safe

December 6, 2012

  

 

Assistant Editor’s Note: The following article is by ATTA Member Journey Mexico.

The U.S. State Department has recently issued a new travel warning report to make sure U.S. citizens are aware of any international security concerns and to be more specific in pinpointing areas. This report has been updated from the last dated, February 8, 2012.

The state-by-state summary opens with an important statement that “millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year for study, tourism, and business, including more than 150,000 who cross the border every day. The Mexican government makes a considerable effort to protect U.S. citizens and other visitors to major tourist destinations, and there is no evidence that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) have targeted U.S. visitors and residents based on their nationality. Resort areas and tourist destinations in Mexico generally do not see the levels of drug-related violence and crime reported in the border region and in areas along major trafficking routes.”

The following tourist areas have been cleared for travel: 

Northern Mexico: Los Cabos, La Paz, Mazatlan*
Southern Mexico: Manzanillo, Chiapas (San Cristobal de las Casas), Acapulco*, Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit, Oaxaca (Huatulco, Puerto Escondido)
Central Mexico: Mexico City, Morelia, Guanajuato (San Miguel Allende, Leon), Puebla, Queretaro
Yucatan Peninsula: Quintana Roo (Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Riviera Maya and Tulum),  Campeche, State of Yucatan (Merida, Chichen Itza)

As with any travel, you should exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings. *Take into consideration caution is suggested at certain places or times outside the tourist zones of Acapulco and Mazatlan.

Peter Velasco, a State Department press officer, told USA TODAY that the warning was updated because of the department’s “no double standard policy.” He went on to say, “Obviously, Mexico is a big country,” he adds, and “we’re trying to make the information as accurate and balanced” and updated as possible.

More information is available

Journey Mexico encourages everyone to review the latest Mexico Security Update released by the U.S. Embassy to learn more. The State Department’s Country Specific Information for Mexico provides even more information about safety issues in this charming country.
