How To Raise A Platform Bed

A lack of rigor or bad faith?

is not the first time Guillem Rosselló concerning our formation in negative terms. Attesting that accept UPyD criticism willingly-we are a party essentially critical and aspire to a critical vote, "but we are also pleased to see hiciese criticism about what actually say and not what some buccaneers of the opinion that we prefer to invent. And above all, always on the same arguments, it is frankly difficult to defend when one columnist, "Mr. Rossello, without going any further, accusing us a day to be a communist party and the next to be the extreme right. Complicated.

In his recent article "Rosa Díez or biased view of Spain and democracy" ( Last Time , 11/09/1927), attacks UPyD attributing uncertainty: "After reading and reflecting [ sic], one can not define whether Rosa Díez is on the left, the PSOE which arose, or the right of trying to nurture." I will gladly answer: UPyD is not left nor right, but cross. In our liberal and social-military party concerned about sectarian and anti-democratic drift of our country, derived from the same writings that Mr. Rosselló are proof. Ya, I know a little sidetracked sometimes vote with the PP and others with the Galician Nationalist Bloc, but is that we do we like to listen to everybody without preconceptions. Our unforgivable peculiarity is that citizens feel able to think for themselves and choose depending on the offer, and not sectarian slogans. It is normal that Mr. Rosselló not clear, or maybe it is that neither read nor thought as he says he did.

According to columnist, Rosa Díez feeds "hatred of autonomy" and is a "pre-constitutional leader" who "says that all state power should be in Madrid." No wonder you look like a "biased view of Spain": I, too, it would seem. But, look, since its founding manifesto (2007), has defended UPyD improving the state of autonomous and, in particular from the paper policy adopted in our First Congress on 21 November, we define our model of state and cooperative federalism, decentralization so dear that we are the only national party that defends federalism in Spain. Very different thing is that, as she might like Mr. Rosselló, cuestionásemos the unity of the nation, but no: for us the unity of Spain is unquestionable, and federalism, only the best way to secure, through a catalog of powers constitutionally closed to list what skills are among the autonomous communities of all alike, and which the State, so that no unfortunate combination of a central government with no sense of status and certain premises unfair, as happens today, you can put each year's competition and solidarity on the table in exchange, for example, voting for budgets. But our federalism declared it does not matter to Mr. Rosselló, who speaks of a "rancid nationalism" he recalls, could not be otherwise, the Franco regime and its "cultural genocide" [ sic] and "another fascism : the single party or the medieval kingdoms of those in which only the nobles had the word. " No comments.

What about at such laxity? It occurs to me: that Mr. Rosselló one of the most glaring examples of junk journalism that I have news in recent years. The service is not clear whether their own sectarianism and ignorance or, conversely, of someone very interested in UPyD unsuccessful, each of its lines is a lie or is born of ignorance of the reality that says comment . Assumptions either disqualifies him as a journalist, and certainly certifies the mortally afraid that some political sectors begin to experience in the Balearics since a citizen and as a progressive option is to UPyD threatens to shift the balance of forces in local politics. Courage, Mr. Rosselló, keep doing this you call your opinion. Maybe you prefer continue to rely on the honesty and progressive political parties such as UM, PP or PSIB, which certainly does not seem stale or Franco or genocide ... If one judges left standing after this term. Be encouraged that we so afraid. Last Time. Digital Journalist.

Catchy Phrases For 21st Birthday Invitation

Regime and Citizen Journalism

The fact that twelve Catalan newspapers have today published a joint editorial titled "The dignity of Catalonia " to pressure the Constitutional Court for a ruling on the statute that is next to the postulates nationalist, has been presented as something unusual and, of course, as referred to above, it is. However, it unusual course does not mean that there is a perfectly predictable.

The text attempts to delegitimize the first to TC, since the ten members eligible to vote in this case (one died and another is challenged), four working under extension have not agreed political parties for their replacement. In UPyD have denounced the politicization and consequent lack of efficiency of the procedure for filling vacancies to the TC, but the only way to change what we do not like the system that much, is political reform and in particular, reform constitutional, and it has its requirements. Meanwhile, we can only get rid of the arbitrary if all respect the rules are for everyone. Questioning the legitimacy of the Tribunal, and in such a sensitive time, is of great audacity and political irresponsibility, but questioning their judgments only when we do not like, and when we do not go well, is a deplorable intellectual poverty or a bad faith that insults the citizenry and, in particular, to the readers.

Not content to despise the TC, the publisher is allowed to establish what is progressive and democracy: "The real dilemma is forward or backward," "is in play the dynamics constitutional spirit of 1977 that made possible the peaceful transition. " It is true that many, inside and outside Catalonia believe is at stake in the spirit of the Transition, but not just by default, but excess: the state has lost sight autonomous referents as solidarity and equality, and the ruling of the TC depends steps we take to the dislocation of Spain and the final inequality among its citizens or containing it.

Very serious is the relativity of the laws is clear from paragraphs like that in stating that "there is no absolute justice, only justice of the case, why the legal basis for excellence is prudence." Submit prudence and guarantee that everyone will be treated equally before the law as values faced, as if one could be without the other, is simply contrary to the rule of law. TC prefaced the political expediency to the strict interpretation of the rule would enter fully into the category of institutional coup, and the proposed twelve rotary is demagogic and therefore immoral. But worse is still calling the contempt implicit in a threatening tone phrases like "these days, the Catalans think, above all, their dignity should be known." Or: "If necessary Catalan solidarity will articulate the legitimate response of a responsible society." For much appeal is made to the responsibility, what can be interpreted when the pages of a journal encourages people to "respond" against a decision rendered by the institution to issue and call the Constitution in accordance with the law in form and substance? Today Jorge de Esteban has argued World the alleged commission of a crime of usurpation of authority by the Catalan regional authorities (art. 508.2 CP). Elaborating on this route, I think, if as a result of the editorial published today, occurring after the opinion of the TC public disorder, would be to consider the application to those responsible for the text of art. CP 545 and subsequent induction speaking, provocation or proposal for sedition. Not to mention the art. 118 of the Constitution, which requires everyone to comply with the rulings of the courts ... But the Government's attitude does not augur any action by the Public Prosecutor on behalf of institutions. The same Rodríguez Zapatero, asked by the editorial comment has been made to smile, affirming that this is a manifestation of freedom of expression and ensure that he had read with great interest. Another who was not a spendthrift would have frowned and replied that: "The independence of the TC is sacred, and anyone who touches it will face the Government in the courts."

This surely will not bring further consequences that the usual folklore independence because seny of Catalan citizens far exceeds its impresentable ruling class. But it is still sad that the Catalan public discourse has departed from reason and common interest to defend only the new autonomous chieftains and their customers. The best thinkers of our time Catalans (Felix de Azua, Albert Boadella, Alejo Vidal-Quadras, Arcadi Espada) are now explicitly set against something that can not be regarded rather than the regime. The Catalan political acts outside of their citizenship.

should be noted that despite a passionate campaign funded largely by money amplified from public institutions, participation in the referendum held at the time for the approval of the controversial plebiscite statute was so low that, compared to 90% of the Catalan parliament had supported the project, no more than a third of the Catalans expressed their inclination to it. Faced with such a glaring disconnect between politicians and citizens (the Catalans have problems that have nothing to do with nationality), the press of the Principality chosen by politicians. But no wonder: it is worth recalling at this point, as today has made Albert Rivera, who pays the salaries and benefits in the media Catalans: the Nationalist politicians themselves have promoted all this tremendous blunder. All newspapers that subscribe as worthy editorial - all - receive institutional grants and advertising, in most cases, essential for their survival. The publisher, therefore, is not only irrational and unjust: it is also entitled without any success, because of what this text is speaking of the dignity of Catalonia, but the indignity of some Catalans who prefer to keep chairs and at the expense mamandurrias of freedom and information that deserve your citizenship. The problem of the press in Spain, muscle-flexing to the autonomous powers by means of subsidies, Catalonia is compounded significantly due to the product identity. We should all learn a lot of irresponsible editorial today, and act accordingly. Digital Journalist. Liberal Spain.

Catalan

Welcoming the results of the first campaign, developed last May, the Department of Innovation, Justice and Home Affairs of Government of the Balearic Islands has launched its second campaign to raise awareness for the use of security systems children in motor vehicles, through its Directorate General of Home Affairs and Public Safety Institute of the Balearic Islands. In addition to the lectures given in schools by police guardians, initiative is based on the distribution in schools in a booklet for parents of students. The main objective of the campaign, very commendable, is "to minimize risky behaviors in driving" is addressed "to parents and caregivers of children", among its purposes is to "sensitize responsible for children's use of approved security systems and thus avoid possible accidents, "and one of the reasons given for carrying it out is that" prevention of dangerous behavior is to start in the educational centers closer to children, such as family background and school. " So far, no objections in terms of objectives, recipients, purposes and motivations, but rather the opposite: praise for the initiative. If all this is as stated, however, we question automatically arises: why the campaign develops only in Catalan?

from official agencies have cornered the English language use so insistently that the question seems trivial, but it is not. As much as it is unfair that the language of instruction in schools is just one of the two officers, we know that it is the law. However, given the stated purpose of the campaign, what could not ask the multiconsejera Pilar Costa and the director general of the Interior, Sebastià Amengual, if you do not have to reach been more convenient to edit bilingual brochures? If parents monolingual brochure receptors do not understand its contents, would not breach the purpose of raising the "educational core nearest" which is the family? Just look at an example: some parents of Basque origin (or Murcia or Colombian) with children enrolled in the public schools, who work and pay taxes in the Balearics and all purposes are subject to the laws and regulations of the Balearic Islands, is not entitled to receive service Balearic authorities if their mother tongue, plus official and common to the whole nation is English? When a person alluded features receive the brochure for the said campaign, you need to make an extra effort to understand what it is advisable, if you can come to understand. Therefore, it is not serviced by the Administration on an equal footing with the Catalan-speaking city that itself is just happy his rights is therefore a second class citizen. If

campaign officials ignored this possibility, should resign for incompetence. If not ignored but considered that the main mission of the Balearic Islands authorities is to force the inhabitants to learn Catalan, and place this overall objective above that mark the common sense and own initiative awareness, should resign by sectarians. If the Minister and Director General Coast Amengual, in short, do not understand that languages \u200b\u200bare at the service of communication and without that sense have no other, that neither the Catalan or English can be above the training needs and security of citizens, and that is a very irresponsible to endanger a child because her parents just have not understood the information given in a language they know, with his official also, then, without any doubt, unworthy should resign. Nothing surprising since, as all the signage on our streets is monolingual, even in cases that do not understand instructions poses a risk to the user, or an avoidable penalty only have understood a text. But we can not overemphasize the absurdity of that in the XXI century inspire the actions of our rulers mythology Herderian lineage identity, the enemy of reason and efficiency, and elsewhere in Europe would be perfectly classified as extreme Right: examples abound. While there are second-class citizens in Spain, while English has whose right to security, or education, or work, or health, is considered less important or less protected than others by reason of the language they speak, whether it is, continue to denounce.

second demagogues lurking UPyD

Under the headline "Berlusconi to the Balearic" Mr. Miquel Payeras publishes a column (UH, 10/10/2009), which warns of the risk that, to the discredit of Zapatero for his management and politicians in general by the phenomenon of corruption and appear "anti-formations." "With the collapse of the credibility of the institutional political parties, demagogues lurking," says a crabs. According to him, the Balearic Islands would be fertile ground for "saviors" that "bewitch get enough people to head in the institutions." The "institutional political accommodation" would be responsible to create "conditions for the birth of [a Berlusconi] to the Balearic Islands." All this is embodied in the phenomenon UPyD. Mr. Paye

must belong to that privileged race of journalists with access to intuitive knowledge, for if not, is not intended to have formed such strong opinions about UPyD, since the number of times the member has addressed UPyD any contrast to his prejudices with reality is exactly zero. Do you think Mr. Paye with the right to insult the hundreds of thousands of English citizens in several elections and have put their growing confidence in Rosa Diez and his party, especially when, according to our evidence, leaving the industry far more liberal, better educated and more knowledgeable of English society?

we agree in something: the traditional politicians are responsible of the deterioration of our democracy. As differ is in the solution: who we must draw the sad state of affairs in which we find ourselves? Do those same professional politicians who lie with their easy chairs in the public waste and corruption that try to mask the complicity of all parties that Mr. Paye called "institutional" and was intended not to change anything while they can continue to milk the system? Or rather a party of volunteers from the proposed policy, for example, electoral reform and lists open, so all votes are worth the same and respond elected their engagement with the city and not to its executive, the limitation of time in the office, the direct election of mayors and person appointments as regional presidents, reform the judiciary and prosecutors to enable their independence from the parties, the education reform to forge useful citizens and skilled workers in competitive enterprises, equal rights for all English ...? Are these objectives are demagogic, are anti? Or is it rather the expression of common sense that reside in the vast majority of English and no party except UPyD had offered? Are not more harmful for the system to tolerate parties that a band of Trebizond middling which until yesterday criticized as corrupt arbitrator at will policy (to call it somehow) local, insular and autonomous reach sell what is necessary in order to remain in power and call that "good governance pact"?

Are not rather demagogues who prefer the survival of a flawed system to a civic movement to reform it to work? What Mr. Paye afraid? Why, he says, UPyD "love" to a supposedly unsuspecting voters? Is it better to buy the voting procedure by endowments and grants? "Armengol and honoring Antich not follow certain political pirates, despite all the betrayals, with undeserved dignity of partners and associates? Is not it true that the government of the Balearic Islands has two years vegetating without further influence on society and economy of the Islands and dispensable its huge waste and a sad example of how not to do things? Why big business, professional prestige, the civil society leaders, and citizens in general, privately express the enormous contempt inspires Balearic mediocre political class, devoid of ideas and scruples, with having to deal daily? "The spectacle of the Pacte parties are giving these days is in the eyes of Mr. Paye more dignified, less Berlusconi the newspaper and silent work of UPyD? Do you have to have some complex UPyD to such a scenario?

a columnist is allowed to brand UPyD or anti-populist party, for having dared to propose, with conviction, from the strictest respect for democratic principles and in line with the sensibilities of a large number of citizens, the removal of a reprehensible political caste and reform of institutions that do not work, is as well placed as I call any nag me hack columnist stooge: None. What makes sense is to discuss the ideas, not labels, and so I invite Mr. Paye to do so. But to discuss necessary that both want. Is much easier to disqualify. Last Time. Digital Journalist.

Tie Up Dress At The Back

Democracy and the old parties

astonished citizens attending the show these days given the Popular Party of the Balearic Islands off the circumstance of having to choose a president for grouping Palma. In short: one of the candidates want to vote all members and the other members argued that choosing a number of delegates and these in their new leader. Also in a nutshell: free universal suffrage ensures that members express their will without intermediaries, while the system favors the dome electors of a party misrepresents the collective will through the barter of favors between individuals and families territorial and / or patronage, so that the leadership can control the outcome of elections through the procedure very old do ut des. Between the method of the commissioners and the recently implemented by the PP in Calvia, in which all partners have been able to express their wish and see it fulfilled, the citizen knows very well what is the most democratic.

But, after all, one contemplates these facts for what they are: stories from a foreign party (for oneself but also to the public) will not change their ways if not for short-term convenience. PSOE also tested at one time the primaries, but I must say that professional politicians are soon disabused of that novelty, not the top management ensured adequate control of the process. Today, universal suffrage, open lists and participation in the traditional parties are just a memory-if they are, at all levels and territorial structures. People are aware of the constitutional requirement that parties have a democratic internal functioning, but many resigned to that in this as in so many other things, the Constitution is worthless.

therefore attract as much attention the little echo, perhaps due to a disbelief logic, which received the electoral process began this month in Union Progreso y Democracia to celebrate the end of November of their first Congress, which all bodies will be renewed and amended and will define the policy paper to guide its action at least in the next triennium. In many parts of Spain have already held elections for delegates to the Congress, and soon will close at the national level and published their results. UPyD militants have read the proposals of the candidates, heard at the meeting and have chosen through open and secret voting lists to which of them have earned more trust. It was enormously satisfying to hear at the meeting for that purpose was held in Palma last weekend when some militant calling for a ballot to replace the filled and he brought home, "because I heard this girl and I liked it" . Democracy in its purest form, with unforeseeable consequences in the old parties, like the surprise election of any candidate almost unknown among the members, only through the power of ideas and persuasion. Unforeseeable consequences in a few games in which spontaneity, sincerity and appeal principles and not the interest of the franchise motor life and passed away far too long.

Open lists are just one of the measures advocated UPyD to promote a higher quality of our democracy, along with the replacement of the district by the state or provincial, and defend many of the single division that corresponds with the character National Congress of Deputies, respectively measures allow greater autonomy for the elected representatives with respect to the executive party and, therefore, a more democratic selection, and effective equality of all votes, so it was impossible that as it happens Today, the PNV multiply by six the number of seats in UPyD having received fewer votes. Overcoming the poor democracy, pro forma reach all the inner levels of the game: in our Congress in November, delegates elected by the same procedure open single list of 150 militants who later formed in our deliberative body, the Political Council without these effects is relevant to the community from candidates, as we believe corresponds to a national body. All members, not just delegates to the Congress, direct vote by electronic ballot the team that will lead the party in the coming years from the Board, through as many candidates as members wish, because, unlike what happens in other parties, in any phase of this organic renewal applicants is required signatures or endorsement. Clearly the difference pseudoelectorales processes in the old parties, which almost invariably will be resolved to their respective domes by direct appointment by delegates or media coverage. So obvious that the mere possibility that it sets an example makes some prefer silence or distort. But facts are stubborn, and who we embarked two years ago in this adventure of democratic regeneration, too. Digital Journalist. World-Day Baleares. Liberal Spain.

5 Month Old Dry Coughing

The Spain Councilman Singer

[by Juan Luis Calbarro and Julian Ruiz-Bravo]
Account
Simon Ward in his book Chester. A History that in 1849 the Rev. William Massie founded in this northern English city of Architectural Society, Archaeological and Historical. In addition to collecting Roman and promote the restoration of the beautiful city's urban fabric, Massie worked to extend the membership of the organization, as well as archaeologists, architects, clergy and rigor, ladies, shopkeepers, clerks and artisans. Those citizens who understand creating a research center as an important asset to the community, financed with fees reaching an adventure today. The consequence is that Chester is now one of the best cities in the world have been worth the archaeological remains available, making them the hub of a great city planning and a better tourism policy. Chester is a thriving city thanks to the strength of its civil society.

In Spain, the association is a kind of crappy windows: an adventure that is undertaken only if there is scope to milk the public purse. What do you want to start a archaeological society? Well before nothing speaks to the council and the director of the branch as to whether the fund. What do you want to mount a neighborhood association or an NGO? We subsidies. "Unions? The State is responsible, through "courses" and grants a number ... What do you want to organize an employer? For, paradoxically in organizations that tend to brag about liberalism, also considered a government obligation to provide "aid." What to do theater? Well, the government will ask for money, in the form of scholarships, awards or grants, the author, the company, the owner of the premises, the editors and the public to go see him, because everyone assumes that culture, without public money, does not survive. What do you want to publish a newspaper? There Munir institutional advertising. What you want, in general, earn a living? In Spain we have twice as officials in Germany, even though it doubles the population of our country is a way of subsidizing the existence, even at the expense of efficiency and freedom.

The sad result is that in Spain, associations can not lead or anything worth defending, and that a good part of the business is imbued with the same spirit. Neighborhood associations and oenegés are heavily politicized, ie, they are slaves to the parties that bear the cost. Theatre and art in general (not to mention the film) are in absolute decline, because instead of following the good example Anglo persist in the error very Mediterranean in Roman patronage and praise the chief, with the majority of artists are beings well distant from the free-thinking, and sometimes even the thought. From unions what they are going to tell all who do not know English, no one believes and to defend the interests of workers, as no doubt be concerned to do if depended entirely on membership fees ... And we know that the press serves the interests of large media groups and, therefore, granted the parties that televisions, radios and institutional advertising. Special case is that of publishing in Catalan, Basque and Galician, who have given up entirely to the proceeds of their sales in return null fat subsidies because, with few exceptions, have preferred the crappy editing business in Catalan on the honor professional editing quality as if one were incompatible with the other. And especially bleeding the associations of "defense identity" as Obra Cultural Balear and other parasites that the state raise the money to fight it, with the complicity of our politicians and local autonomous all parties. Spain is inexplicable. And where you can go to Spain to stop this crazy picture? It is clear that the state should plant both our partners and European rivals. It is necessary to put a lid once and for all this terrible bottomless pit because, besides the huge expenditure which rest on the shoulders of taxpayers, has shown few additional results.

Faith in this sham of associations, whose only real effectiveness refers to the proper channeling of the perks, has much to do with religion, leave, therefore, to justify such an ocean of subsidies, quite unworthy of strong partnerships who trust in themselves, must be part of any secular approach to politics. And the bloodletting that is for pockets of taxpayers could be halted if a government without complexes take only a few findings: first, that any organization requesting grant financial autonomy previously justified beyond doubt, second, that any subsidy is limited to a percentage to study (maybe third or below, and except as determined by common sense) of the total cost of the subsidized project, thirdly, that the execution of any project funded is subject to periodic inspection (somewhat strict and not the joke Today they are often applied in regional areas and especially local) by the administration concerned; room of any subsidy is justified under the lingua franca of the project or make it a requirement for granted, just as such is not with religion or race. The huge amount of resources that would be released in Spain if he was so they would pay from government research centers and social services whose effectiveness would be higher than the vast constellation of other mediocrities oenegés and we suffer.

Free Pet Casket Plans

subsidized

Councilman Education and Celebrations of the City of Mahon, Joan Carlos Villalonga, has publicly and repeatedly insulted HRH the Infanta Elena and HM the King of Spain in a song that could well be recorded as one of the most famous monuments of the last times to stupidity and bad taste. The alleged song (he had the patience to listen and read your letter) is very bad, but mostly it's rude, coarse words for the easy laugh. The argument for injury by Villalonga and his colleague Alex Villeyra, which states co-author of the "joke" is that there is some strong desire, only joking, and that this "falls within the limits of freedom of expression ". The PSM training that belongs to the mayor and "cultural activist", demanding respect for their "creative freedom."

This will display a number of things. One, that Spain can reach any Councillor of Education. Another is that in Spain may not be publicly insulting and offense, especially if the injured belongs to the family of King and injurious to a separatist party. Third, prosecutors in Spain should have more important things to safeguard the dignity of the institutions of the nation and the right to honor people, in the same way that politicians ignore what else is that of responsibility and of the commitments made to all citizens. Finally, the sense of humor is as nationalist political discourse: aggressive and exclusive.

Although, apparently, such a record and use my creative freedom and expression in this text would authorize me to, I refuse to publicly describe the terms Villalonga ruler it deserves I think I did decorum. But: I think compulsory call boorish and irresponsible, and Mayor Mahon suggest that if you have any shame, to dismiss him. Last Minute Menorca. Digital Journalist. Reviewing

What Hairstyle Should I Get Generator

UPyD Already in 2000 were from

old correspondence with an old friend and tough debater, I found a letter on Zamora on April 17, 2000 in which my dear correspondent replied that I had accused my abstention on previous elections, in which Aznar had achieved his second term with an absolute majority. The arguments then tell my friend to warrant my resignation to vote today surprised me by now and even I have moved back a little because I live the voice of a frustrated voter-I in this case, any of the many as a decade ago repudiated the false democracy and we were convinced of the need for a game like that today embodies UPyD. Then transcribe the most significant of the paragraphs that went to my friend, without adding anything:

"Vote today in Zamora (and the rest of the districts is no different) means that, although you know that there are people far more worthy, prepared, or just nice, you'll have to settle for voting for the three caciquillos an exclusive list, lap dogs of the party leadership that it has placed in closed and blocked lists to thank the services provided and the assurance that the chambers will vote to dictation and never bother the ones in charge, despite knowing that Zamora worldwide, including a judge already issued a ruling, he knows and understands the business who have spent years making the shadow of power or putadas they have done since their companies to the public. Voting today means that only regions with sensitivities and parties who can manipulate it with de facto parliamentary representation as such regions, as well oversized for the absurd system of provincial constituencies. Voting today means that the tight control of the parliamentary groups for those who appoint its members means that the congressmen and senators do not serve the citizens but to the domes of [...]: parties representing citizens to requires the most basic constitutional theory does not exist. Voting today means that nothing will change in the political system, because to be a deputy must be pre-designated candidate, and this has to be subservient and not question too much (you know the quote classical theory in any textbook of contemporary politics: "that move does not appear in the photo" , and it is most certain). Voting today means accepting campaign designed to wasteful and primates, vote, without debate, vote not expected to have consequences. If something means to vote today, will only fuel the machines take to win votes of the parties, meet their share of power and ultimately make possible the designs of [...] those who directly or indirectly finance the parties and actually control policy since the election promises are not binding on the candidates elected and their commitment is with the citizenship. Perhaps this can be called democracy? The people's voice does not reach the courts. Voting today means to be an accomplice to the murder of Montesquieu and accept a flawed system.

"Still, I'd vote if someone [...] presented on its agenda an order to amend these services, even if not all or most of them. For a party that advocates a new electoral system that should be convened, with open lists, single constituency elections for Congress and for regional districts for the Senate, to territorial representation was genuine, and just as wide and regional election [...]; that was required by law a operation democratic parties and anything close to the primaries to choose candidates be mandatory and binding, and that election expenses were limited by law and be fully transparent. Yes vote for a party that raised a constitutional amendment to close the regional design in Spain: a fair and united federal state with powers pre-established and funding for the central and regional government, Congress and Senate for a real and shamefully not autonomous, a state, therefore, not subject to ongoing negotiation that is bleeding the treasury, impedes the progress of the nationalist tribal regions without touching the balls and Above all, avoid close once and for all a concept of Spain agreed and willingly accepted by all. A party to propose a real and not nominal separation of powers, that would not do to depend on the leadership of the party appointing the members of the Supreme Judicial Council or the Attorney General nor the members of the legislative chambers. In a game that rethink the state's relations with the Church [...]. In a match that would set its objectives at European level and not commercial, but global and United (I did not say charitable), and dignified addressed the problem of immigration. A party to question the consumerism that devours us and fouling mass phenomena yet the reprehensible that surrounds football and other sports and television [...]. [...] At a party, finally, leave the immediate electoral expediency and hypocrisy that goes with it and assume the historical mission of proclaiming the kingdom of ethics, modernizing Spain from its roots and not settle for a modern European varnish that room as soon as the economy was worse than today.

parties "[...] But, unfortunately, thrive in the party politics and I doubt that they can get traditional political hara-kiri for the democratization of the regime. I do not want a Messiah as Jesus Gil garrulous nor popular revolution it is not possible or desirable. I want a party of moderate and effective people (as are or may be actually the domes of the PSOE and PP) to renounce the electioneering and unprincipled power play and really want to jump into the political freedom of the English. What bothers me most is that we are not taking advantage of a broad freedoms, economic prosperity and political stability we have enjoyed as never to train citizens in a true democracy, develop the necessary reforms and intelligently appeal to solidarity and not charity, because we now numbs the mustachioed lullaby of sirens ( "Spain will Koha!, Spain Koha will !..." ), but when Spain goes wrong, all of a sudden we realize that this is not a true democracy and then there is no resources or patience to cope with change.

Preserve At Jordan Lake Wedding

How to make life impossible for the city

According to the plans of City Hall, the Avenida Palma Picasso has been impassable. They have done. In an area where the mounds of schools, parents shopping child or who want to take a child out of hand will find it difficult to pass on the sidewalk, as well as a couple who want to go hand in hand, because they will not fit. No you can park on double row school time, as was done with the understanding of the local police, or you can park in any way in several tranches, for all this, hundreds of families will suffer unbearable conditions. The bike path crosses three feet of the infant children out of San Cayetano, in obvious danger. The mass of healthy trees destroyed by these so-called environmentalists have been enormous, not to mention that the tiny tree pits that allegedly host the vegetation that has to replace virtually uprooted trees invade the bike path on one side and roadway on the other, by what maintenance has to be very frequent and exhaustive so that will not obstruct traffic. Picasso is, finally, via priority access for Son Dureta and the fire station Taulera Sa, not the first time a guard for her traffic court to pass an ambulance with emergency ... Now, at certain points will be impossible to withdraw.

Mayor radical socialist and his partners believe they can change the habits of hundreds of thousands of people to his will. They are the ones who know how to move the Palma citizens of Palma and therefore we impose it without consulting anyone. In the neighborhood said the neighborhood association is weak and nobody has complained too high, and if he had complained some neighborhood association, the City would have acted as it did on other occasions: instead of parliament, would have promoted (how is) a partnership related to or have removed the opposition paid media advertising, as it did before undertaking the destruction of the street Blanquerna. Citizens should know the so-called shoddy reporting that the City documents these works, no-bid charge to companies that pay big bucks to try to give a technical polish their efforts, duplicating functions for which the City has numerous staff officers ...

Someday we will have to pass the bill for these excesses. Because no one denies that the bicycle lane in the abstract is an appealing idea, the trouble is want to impose it where it is not feasible, at the expense of existing vegetation, but there is little potential users but certainly hurting thousands of pedestrians or drivers and, ultimately, creating more problems than it solves. Unlike Amsterdam or Copenhagen, Palma is a city where there are few cyclists, because there are outstanding bonded by heat and humidity and people can not get to work with clothes soaked in sweat after throwing up the lights up and down some slopes. But above all, people really appreciate that the City consulted to road users which aims to modify. Politicians seek consensus solutions to fit reality to improve, the enlightened, however, have their own idea of \u200b\u200bhow it should be the reality: what is going to think about just how and how its residents want it, if in addition they are ignorant and probably all right-wing? That's right: if someone says he has seen cycling Aina Calvo morning at City Hall, I invite you a beer ... Digital Journalist. Last Minute .

Wolf Pen Creek Bowling

Honduras

The case of Honduras is a case of confusion in the media. It is almost impossible to know with certainty what happens in that country, because both the international agencies concerned as the media (there have been some laudable exception in the English case: La Vanguardia ) have fallen into a Manichean dynamics is difficult avoided. Yet, any effort spent on clarifying the situation is hard, because it is played the future of Honduras. When President Zelaya was overthrown and expelled from the country, my party, UPyD, like almost all English political parties, condemned what he called media "coup" and called for the restoration of constitutional order. From the outset I was struck by two issues.

First, that a large majority of commentators obviated or minimized in its analysis the fact that Manuel Zelaya, disregard of the opinions and judgments against several private and public institutions (Congress of Deputies, Supreme Court Bar Association , Attorney General's Office, Attorney General's Office, National Commissioner for Human Rights, Supreme Court Electoral National Counter Corruption Commission, political parties, Catholic Church, evangelical churches), was determined to practice a constitutional reform that would allow repeated injunction against the rigorously established in the Constitution of the Republic of Honduras: "The citizen who has held ownership of the Executive Power shall be President or Designee. Whoever violates this provision, or proposed for reform, and support those who directly or indirectly, immediately cease carrying out their respective positions, and shall be disqualified for ten years the exercise of any public function. " This is a standard for Democrats Honduran security was and is sacred. Zelaya said that there is a populist who has been defending the thesis of a conservative party into the arms of Hugo Chavez, which can only be explained by a personal desire to remain in power and privileges beyond the common interest (from his private sprees by the taxpayer much has been written), and that many Hondurans make you responsible for the remarkable increase in drug trafficking and associated crime in connivance with the government of Venezuela, according to reports from the Chair of the House Trade Zablah Agnes, planes and boats laden with drugs from this republic have arrived in Honduras on a daily basis during the term of Zelaya. But little of this has been discussed at length in the press.

Secondly, it was curious that the authorities condemn the U.S. action against a puppet of Hugo Chavez ordered by the parliament and the supreme court and executed by the Honduran army, whose officers are trained in the School of the Americas famous for providing the countries south of the Rio Grande pro-American military officers. It was inexplicable that General Romeo Vasquez, head of the Joint Chiefs of Armed Forces of Honduras and alumni of the school, give such a step outside the American Embassy. Something was wrong, but since the United U.S. has been showing a more equidistant in the conflict all begins to seem part of a plan, as claimed by left-wing views.

However, the international movement to support Zelaya are cheered by the mainstream press, and many countries charge through diplomatic channels against what they call de facto government . Inconsistency here it reaches a supine position, which, while not surprised those who know the mental processes and behavior of Western liberals: according to your view of things, a great movement of civil resistance on the streets of Honduras and the government Roberto Micheletti, as reported by the Inter- OAS human, is exceeded in its repression, exaggerated use of force and repeatedly violates human rights protesters.

For personal circumstances maintain direct contact with residents of Honduras, and the testimony that I receive are not certified beyond this table. Many Hondurans are outraged by the Commission. To begin, the president of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza, is a declared Chavez. Part of that committee a Venezuelan who presides (one of my correspondents asked why not investigate the human rights violations that do occur in their country), an Argentine and a Chilean, from three countries participating Zelaya Front and have driven the Honduran ambassadors of their countries, so that the objectivity of its conclusions do not deserve much credit. Apparently, during his visit to Honduras, the Commission refused to receive two hundred employees of a certain restaurant chain that has been subjected to violence of the "protesters" Zelaya, some of these employees showed serious injuries. But the Commission said in a press conference that his mission included investigating only the de facto government abuses. In his version, "demonstrations" in favor of Zelaya have been peaceful, but the Hondurans can see every day on TV how Zelaya, in what seems a strategy of tension, burning star restaurants, cars and buses, smashing in the windows of shops, beatings, roadblocks, occupations of schools ... It turns out that the "demonstrators", of which it is certain that they are on the payroll of Hugo Chavez (according to police, no evidence), prevent the last month and a half children and youth attending schools in order to use them as barracks or dorm, with consequent damage to their training. My informant, who is English and teaching in Comayagua, gives me the deep shame it causes him and his companions the Zapatero government's decision to join the front Zelaya and expel the ambassador to Honduras in Spain to try to weaken the position of the government of that country in its handling of the crisis. A newspaper of that country today asked why Spain is trying to steer European policy against the government Micheletti.

Proponents say the cause of Zelaya institutions that deposed him (the Parliament, for example, was otherwise unanimously with the exception of two votes) are not democratic because they represent the oligarchy, and certainly have a point , but since it does not seem to get to ride roughshod common rules on behalf of themselves as righteous principles that they can be. On the other hand, neither seems likely that the shift of Zelaya Chavez was intended to claim the rights of the Honduran people, since their police, according to the directory of Amnesty International was a protagonist of several acts of violence in 2008. My opinion is that in Spain we rush to condemn the "coup" and we should all, and UPyD first to reopen the matter and take a position away from the simplicity or confusion of the first moments. There is an infallible sign that supporting Chavez's puppet Honduras is an error: Zapatero and Moratinos supporters. And I mean totally serious. Digital Journalist .

Acronis True Image Wd Installation Interrupted

Fina in Wonderland

few days ago came into force the new Social Services Law Balearic Islands, which establishes the basic needs of accommodation, food and clothing. The Minister of Social Affairs of the United Left, Fine Santiago, has decreed the end of hunger in the Balearics. When the Govern develop the law through the decree provided, which shall be listed the benefits that citizens must have the right, any citizen may complain to a judge, says Fina Santiago. In the text been reported to the promotion in Spain today shows that politicians do not have the critical faculties of their voters, but their credulity. Mal going down that road, because when credulity just nothing left standing.

Now let's move from virtual reality to the facts. And the facts tell us that this law has not been budgeted or, with the current drop of 23% in tax collection by the CAIB due to the crisis, it seems that will be soon starting a budget to cover the virtual catalog. Beyond the propaganda, does anyone think it possible that in these times, a government of diminished income to enable a game expected a huge expenditure but impossible to quantify, such as those generated by dining or social housing? Not aware of studies, no one knows if the Govern has taken a solvent accounts for predicting the impact of such legislation in the public accounts which, lest we forget, are the accounts of citizens. The law was created, therefore, marked by improvisation and propagandist that vision seems to dominate Spain zapateril policy. But what the law clearly does provide is the provision of a number of boards and committees at all levels of management and professional staff dedicated to multiply public spending and bureaucracy, leaving for later the way to meet regulatory counseling, committees and staff positions. And here I do not know why, it occurs to me to recall the example of the Ministry of Agriculture, which is composed of a number of officials than of the farmers that are in the islands.

But let's assume this Govern not live in a fantasy world, but instead is formed by a management team responsible, and that comes to catalog a useful feature set already budgeted and made available to a realistic and effective . The Balearics be so smug as advances counselor, the first English community in which social policy acquires the force of law and, therefore, benefits payable were approved and budgeted by any citizen in the courts. Okay, but what citizens? The law speaks of "the entire population," explicitly including "could not be otherwise, to nationals of the European Union and resident aliens. In Spain for many years that we have forgotten that it is operating locally legislation that affects us globally: the former minister made an illegal Bermejo administration to use a hunting license in a community that had not issued, and now Santiago legislation Fina Balearic necessary to become the refuge of the disadvantaged in Spain and, indeed, of Europe without borders. Entiéndaseme: if we conclude that the state must cover all needs all individuals (a concept I personally am far from sharing), would not it be smart and responsible to coordinate policies from all the territories whose citizens could benefit from that conclusion? James makes fine in the field of social services in its area island, as well as national President Zapatero made the regularization of immigrants in their early years decided unilaterally, ie without our European partners which also affected the subsequent knock-on effect. Where would like to spend your Mondays in the Sun the disadvantaged in Sweden and Germany, but in a beautiful Mediterranean island whose administration would cover all your needs? If the requirement is to be registered in the Balearics, and I expect the resulting traffic censuses, or is we are so naive not know what happens with the enrollment of illegal immigrants to serve the purposes of Social Security? I repeat: I think it is unrealistic to extend this coverage vital to the entire population, ie, make the state Caritas (for charity is no social justice), but if we intend to do, the responsible thing is carrying out a coordinated manner, if at Valencia (or Riga) can not be required in a court room and board and in Palma itself, more than one catch the boat from Palma and the Government have not provided a cost that will be required to be made. Another thing is that, as suggested earlier, we believe that the law will to be usefully applied, but the consistency, national vision and respect for the intelligence and people's expectations are also important.

And after the economic and social considerations, I will take a political reflection. The law states that will Govern himself that regulate the composition of the technical committees involved in the public system of social services. This, taking into account the totalitarian impulse that characterizes our leaders and that makes the law, for example, declared aim "to promote the integration over identity, language and culture of this community own" (or, Christian, the exclusion of English social eaters also makes me think ...), wrong. Do not get the wrong city message? Ie: an individual who will vote on social and / or sanitary vulnerable to which he reports: I do the standard going to feed, I establish criteria and procedures, provides I I budget and appoint the people who decide if you meet them?

From the legislative perspective, the new law is a monument to the talk and interventionism, from the economic point of view, a truly irresponsible that delves into the robbery of the taxpayer as she has the nerve to talk about "fiscal plundering" and demand money from Madrid, from the social, I fear that a dead letter, and since the political propaganda of the worst kind. And is that Francesc Antich and his associates are radicals, as we knew, eminent representatives of the shoemaker. The sad thing is that even the PP, which calls itself a liberal party but is hamstrung by political correctness and its own decomposition, dared to vote against this nonsense called law.

Maxine Jokes On Healthcare Plan

Letter to a "dissident" Diagnosing

Dear J ***:

As time passes, it becomes more and more noticeable gap between people who were put at the service of political party to do that from the zero point of the party thought of making a springboard of his vanity, personal therapy or whatever. Today, while some amuse you on blogs and forums gossiping and making childish nicknames Rosa and other members of the Board, other companies involved in the more fundamental policy in Spain since 1978. And for this some will leave the skin (not to mention the number of working hours and many personal sacrifices) in organizing the territorial structure of the party, to form specialized working groups, to write and publish documents, to manage relations with the press, to carry out campaigns when he plays and preparing for when the time comes to undertake the reforms that we advocate. Meanwhile, in the old and critical sector (the same who once seriously infected Citizens) dedicándoos you keep to business as usual, since it is free: on the Internet criticizing the "lack of internal democracy", on which apparently are the only ones that you have funded studies. The party is growing steadily, there is an established procedure to participate and to exercise constructive criticism and who wants to do it: you know a member of the Political Council meeting that some disagreed with the Bureau in their own beards and won a vote against the position taken repeatedly by Gorriarán, and until today no lightning has struck the bold. Must be because differed from party loyalty and effort demonstrated daily.

In November we held a conference to define together, through a flawless democratic process and unprecedented in other parties, how it will be UPyD in the coming years. But no, some, even though they are not militants!, Ever be allowed to say that there is no internal democracy if they are not ignored, though they say stupid or ignorant to understand something as simple as the need for leadership and respect for standards in any organized group, which not only not contradict democracy they strictly make it possible. But this match is that we prefer to ignore those who contribute ideas to the policy making for adults, which come with a project under the arm, and not those who have spent years tangled from game to game on purely organic and instrumental and giving everyone lessons in democracy (in short, how to include them and not others), stroking each other or themselves in the comments of their blogs, betraying confidences, lying or making mistakes and anecdotes about local becomings because national party never knew anything but through the Internet, which is its vital stronghold, flooding spam mailboxes, distilling for hours and hours a day, a cyber chatter not reform any institution or any conscientious care of himself. This if you think about it, if you think bad, I thought someone promotes this unusual swarm of bloggers and foreros piece and that it is not unbalanced or immature characters, but rather concerned.

But there is life beyond the Internet. Not this kind of critical those placed in parliament UPyD English, Basque and European, and the hope of a change in the hearts of many English. Mood: to follow yours, others will follow his own. I never communicate with this curious union of your network dissidents if I can help, because there are better ways to waste time, but you, as we had a cordial relationship, I wanted to tell you that your attitude and I am disappointed that I now feel I gave you one day my confidence because I think I threw on deaf ears: nothing improved or will improve this beautiful project.

Greetings. Digital Journalist .

Take My Dachsun On A Plane

UPyD by symptoms

[Inés Matute, Focus, eleven landscapes for Eros , Tegueste (Tenerife): Baile del Sol, 2009.]

Matute met Agnes a few years ago. She lives Bilbao long ago in Palma, led and directed a great literature and art magazine online, and I had landed in Mallorca for some time with my writing under his arm. Our friendship, which began my collaboration with Luke has been progressively extended to his books, mine, the last Thursday Toni Rigo in Literanta, the tapas, going out together in an anthology of Roman Piña and, with permission from Malene and Joachim, to confidence. Long time since I've resigned myself to let myself overwhelmed by the vitality of Inez, that seems endless and is a great encouragement. Now let me once again overwhelm with great pleasure by the narrative train Focus your eleven landscapes for Eros.

is very clear from the title of this volume much more important than love and sex in its various aspects is its landscape, that is, everything that surrounds them and prevent it from being a pure experience and unambiguous, the romantic style. Matute Agnes had already shown in Portrait with island (Tegueste: Baile del Sol, 2007) have been aware of an essentially relational and thus human nature conflictual. Love can not escape this problematic pattern, bounded by infinite edges, some of them hidden from our view and most of the sometimes painful and well beyond sweetened the design have grown both literature and film. The father Fulgencio, one of the characters that inhabit the book, is the wise statement that read: "there are no pure types. There are no strong men and weak men: there are different ways of combining strength with his own weakness. " Matute

That race is a writer of humor demonstrated that distill their stories and tends to set in intelligent irony and even sarcasm, according to a vision of life away from the naivete or idealism, its cosmopolitanism, which allows no geographical, cultural, sexual or professional interest is outside his narrator, and opening both stories respecting the limits of reality as possible and to those who, by their nature fantastic or dreamlike, require a healthy readjustment reader's imagination. The story seems to be always a challenge for Matute, and it shows the quality of the narrators proud.

Thus, we find in the book tales of intrigue, and, for Matute, the intrigue is eminently psychological. In "Work Bee" check the confused status of rejected love, an image as "I feel my heart open and goes inside a frog red" expresses the painful personal quagmire that is a guilty love but impossible to contain. In "Red and spicy "is explored, with total ease and from a voice politically incorrect, the role that memories play in the identity of individuals, and to what extent a state of oblivion is feared and desired at the same time. "Blooms" again explores the possibilities of game clues and unexpected outcomes, the recurring references to Agatha Christie are not random in this tale of jealousy and self doubt over ethical conventions.

"Twin Towers" takes the impact of an event that has marked generations-and now forms one of the metaphors of our time, to paraphrase a certain type of love apparently only departs from the romantic convention, but in this case abounds in self-denial, in the dignity and persistence beyond the illness and death. "A nice cocoon, meanwhile, demystifies the contemporary world of sex over the Internet. The complexity of treaty relations (deception, complexes, fears, social correction) moves to the virtual world and the comic details do not stop thinking about the confinement and isolation we leave a bitter aftertaste.

"in Lannemezan Odd" is the amazing story of a lonely woman who seeks the lost desire in a corner of the High Pyrenees, and would not hesitate to seduce anyone who crosses his path, "Panthers Wedding" is a window on the ambiguity melancholy, jealousy and love decompensated, "Peliculera!" records that love and hatred are closer to each other in what is sometimes assumed. Great field, "Signed in the Clouds" presents death as a female deceptively desirable. "Domino effect" is a wonderful story, with a precision and tenderness untold, expression of femininity amazing and very revealing. "Asaltacamas", finally, is a fun tale in which two lovers in search of a bed repeatedly denied there are paradoxical and subsequent appointments with a number of characters in literature and art universal. The link between them is their connection to a bed (voluntary or determined by the physical or mental), which slides and erotic material in the vital area of \u200b\u200bdisappointment.

are many aspects of love, all set in the same difficulty of providing a stable channel, serene, recognizable, clear, smooth and balanced. Matute Inés This book becomes, well, a very wise diagnosis of a disease that basically we knew but, still anchored century romantic conventions XIX, we did not dare to declare out loud. Given the inherent impossibility of a coherent discourse about love or from love, seem to propose these stories, we deal with their circumstances. Which is, I think, a great narrative point of view, and separate accounts, evidence of considerable intelligence.
