Don't forget you past

A country that forget it's past is doomed to repeat it. These last days Spain is committed to break apart one of the most remarkable prisons of the dark time, and by dark time I mean Franco's rule: the Carabanchel Prison. Hundreds, if not thousands of innocents where kept inside those walls, just for the crime of thinking of a better society.

No doubt we all evolve, but I can't help looking at how Americans have San Quintin and other famous prison as reminders of past mistakes. Spain is tearing apart a symbol of disrespect, of past repression, of denying the right to be an independent thinker. May be this is a sign of what is yet to come........

Enjoy life, if you can............

U.S. takes North Korea off terror list

Sounds like a joke. What a wonderful year! First the Olympic games in China, well known for it's respect for human rights, and now North Korea, one of the most open countries in Asia is taken off the terror list.

But these guys actually believe that we are stupid??? I hope Obama has a little more common sense.

Joerg Haider has been killed in a road accident

I don't consider myself a "conspiranoic" but it's rather suspicious that Haider has died just a couple of weeks after getting excellent results in Austria's presidential elections.

Probably we wouldn't have known the results of the far-right parties if Haider hadn't been it's leader. This fact gives him an important and dangerous role, "head" of Austria's most hated out of Austria political movement. Bad for Austria's name, bad for businesses, bad for him.


Rest in peace.
