something different

This post has nothing to do with the usal posting policy that this blog fosters.

It's an observation and opinion or even an odde to my thoughs around the new realities of this lonely planet we live in.

Yesterday i read somewhere that Nelson Mandela, one of the world's last leaders, has turned 90.
However his age, this man's vision and power are still there, it might be fading out but we can feel that this is still there. In 2008 the messages we get from every corner of this planet are not encouraging for the future, poverty, hunger, expensive oil, paper wars and apathy of people to act is something i feel everyday.

People spend more time with themselves than ever, there is a new kind of Social Phobia that reflects to the popularity of the internet the increasing number of ipod addicted people ( i still don't have one ) and many more things that to me feel that we people are entering a self protection mode without seeing what's happening around us.

To me it seems like we are all in a banwagon without someone capable to steer it.
Leaders do not exist anymore, prime ministers are subject for Yellow press news. The strong leaders of the world with few exceptions are driven by their pockets and not their minds.

US it's an empire that's falling down. This is natural to me, if you look back in History every single empire had a beginning and an end. The need for a person that can make the diference is so easy to notice. Great example to this is mr. Obama he is a figure that inspires people, makes people think better and hope for a better future. This of course doesn't stays within the US borders, this goes to Iraq, goes to Guantanamo, goes to Europe, to Afghanistan, to Iran, to Russia, even in the head offices of Greenpeace, every one in this planet has expectations for something better. Usually this can be translated to one single man, one leader that can be trusted as an impartial arbiter of worlds affairs.

Don't get me wrong, this is not an Obama support article, it's more some thoughts to show that the world is in need of Charistmatic people that can lead, inspire, provoke,question and in the end make things better. I'm pretty sure that there are hundreds of Obama's out there that can change the world into a better place.

All these guys need to do is to roll up their sleeves (and the sleeves of their people) and set to work.


that's all some thoughts... of course unfinished as always :)

the poser above is a great example.

DEAR dude who controls the global warming up there.
I'm writing to you regarding an observation of failure i noticed lately against you.
Actually i would like to point out that your famous "Global warming" is the biggest bullshit i've been hearing during the last couple of years.

I think you are one of the people who decided to global warm only the nice and already warm countries like Greece, Italy, Spain etc.

Of course your famous global warming somehow escaped countries like UK, Netherlands etc.

You offer them a cold summer with rain and other rather Global freezing weather conditions.

I think you are tempted of the nice blue seas these guys have in the south, and you keep pointing your stupid global warming to them.

This way my friend you want make people sensitive enough, nobody is goanna believe in global warming and sooner or later a Hollywood director will come up with a blockbuster that will simply bring up in fashion Global Freezing. When this happens guess what, you are done, nobody is going to talk about global warming anymore companies like Diesel will work on global freezing campaigns and American Apparel will range only long sleeve colored shirts, in addition to that Fujitsu,Lg,Mitsubishi,Sanyo etc will stop producing air conditioners and people will use sunscreens only to smell like coconuts.

Hope you understand my friendly intentions, but seriously you have to do something.
As immediate next steps i would suggest to bring some summer in the Northern Dark Cold and wet Europe
For instance nobody will suffer with a month under 25 and Sunny, and why not 2-3 weeks of 30-34 and sunny, this is probably the only way people will realize your presence and will stop thinking you are a lazy bastard who likes hanging around south warm places and make them even warmer.

Until these thing happen, i will run a campaign called: GLOBAL WARMING MY ASS.
