My colonoscopy...

Code Monkey — Thu, 12 May 2011 12:44:12 GMT

So during my annual physical, my doctor decides it's time and refers me to a "specialist" (Always be afraid of this word...) who will take a few snapshots of my lower intestinal tract and "treat" any issues found during the process, using a device. He sees this has caught my attention and quickly approximates the dimensions of the camera probe using 2 fingers to indicate seemingly inconsequential dimensions of about 8" long X .050". Oh... No problem then.

So I drive over to the urologist's office where I am greeted by 3 women, 2 of whom are smiling. (Hmmmm.) The other one is a hot lil' Viet Namese lady of about 105 pounds. Her job is to describe the procedure to me so I know how to prepare and what to expect.

As she escorts me into the back, I notice she combines the sexy Asian thing with a certain... uhhh.. sternness. Her walk is crisp. Yep, I'm gonna thaw out Miss Saigon with my cooool...

She takes me into the exam room where there hangs a detailed life size cutaway diagram of the male� uhhhh� interior, showing the full path of digestion, with all the twists and turns of the average man's plumbing.

She's got one of those wooden pointers like grade school teachers used to use. At this point the only question on my mind was What color does she want me to paint her toenails? But I'm showin' poker face cool.

I'm all relaxed n' ready n' leanin' back in the chair when she CRACKS the poster dude with the stick HARD, right on the ol' sphincter.
...We put camela in HERE!!! (Houston, we have a problem...)

Instantly I am sitting bolt upright. She definitely has my full attention now. While tracing the path up through the maze of the poster guy's guts, with the stick, she continues:
...Then camela go up here, then turn reft, then up, then allllllll the way back to the right. Then we burn off polyp HERE!!! popping the poster guy's guts again with the stick. There always polyp here! We burn off! (I remember the sensation that 2 ferrets were fighting in my stomach.)
Wa...wa...wait a minute... (This must be some sort of a clerical error.) I..I..I'm just here for a... N..n nobody said anything about... I am now eyeballing the door and assessing my chances of escape. (No way, she's quick, I'm sure of it.)

Now, in my mind I'm doin' the math. At this point, we've had an insertion, several turns, and a looong drive up through this paper dude's rear deck, and it still looks like we have a ways to go! So I'm compelled, perhaps foolishly, to ask How long is this thing?
...IT SIX FEET RONG!

The cool is gone; I am now in fear for my life. She continues...
...You docta tell you it only this rong, huh? (holding out 2 fingers, 8 inches apart) I nodded.
...You DOCTA LIE! ALL DOCTA LIE!!! Otherwise you NEVER come here!!! (No shit... It's a freakin' a drain snake! )

I have a white knuckle death grip on my chair. The ferrets are now killing each other... or mating... or maybe playing baseball. The room was evidently motorized because it began to spin. And suddenly, I was in the parking lot.

Before I reached my car, I actually felt my prostate (and at least 1 other organ) shrink! I was cured! It was a medical miracle!!!

I canceled the appointment before I reached the liquor store. 2 hours and a half bottle of cheap tequila later I realized... Asian medicine rocks.

Carried Interest Taxes

One of the keys to [url=http://www.cheapnikeshoxstore.com/shox-monster-shoes-c-14.html]nike shox online[/url] failure in starting a business is borrowing startup funds. Why ? Because startups never work on a schedule and loans always have to be paid back on schedule. It�s a huge mistake to borrow money from a bank to get a business going, yet our politicians seem to think that more bank lending to startups is a key to creating new jobs. [url=http://www.cheapnikeshoxstore.com/shox-r4-torch-shoes-c-12.html]shox shoes[/url] It�s not. In fact, banks are smart enough to realize that unless they can pawn the loan onto someone else, like the Small Business Association, there is no good reason to loan a startup money. Bank loans to startups are job killers, not creators.
The best way way to create jobs in this economy ? [url=http://www.cheapnikeshoxstore.com/shox-r4-torch-shoes-c-12.html]buy shox shoes[/url] Follow the and make all equity investments up to 250k dollars and held for at least 3 years tax free when sold. If you aren�t familiar with how Paul Graham and his competitors do things, you should be. They truly are the ones creating jobs. Speaking for myself, I have invested 250k or less in 8 or so businesses some are still in process in the last 12 months.
[url=http://www.pumashoescheap.com/puma-2010-new-board-shoes-c-4.html]puma shoes shop[/url] Now I personally would have done it with or with out a tax break, but the way our economy works, with everyone hacking tax regulations, a tax break will push more people in this direction. The more money available to startups, the more startups and jobs created and the more likely a huge employer emerges.Not only is there a chance a large company is built, there is a chance that the �next big thing� [url=http://www.pumashoescheap.com/puma-drift-cat-c-12.html]puma sneakers store[/url] emerges and catches fire, leading to hundreds of thousands of jobs or more being created. I�m hoping that our politicians realize that luck is the key to getting unemployment back under 5pct. It�s going to take luck for someone to create the idea that we all missed and use angel funding from a source like Y Combinator to turn it into a company that accelerate the economy much like The Internet and the PC Revolution did. If my memory serves me, Michael Dell, Bill Gates, Marc Andreeson weren�t out looking for loans from banks to start their companies. They used relatively small amounts of friends and family money. [url=http://www.pumashoescheap.com/puma-speed-cat-c-11.html]puma speedy cat[/url] Make those investments tax free and we stand a chance to see the next generation Dell and Gates emerge.
and no, this isn�t contradictory to my carry interest position. The investors should get the tax break, not the people who take a percentage of the profits the carry interest the investors would otherwise get paid. [url=http://www.ebaynow.org/]polo t shirts[/url] The boom in mobile devices and applications is reminiscent of the mid 80s when we had software developers and applications popping up left and right. Faster processors and regular operating system improvements created the same vibrant software ecosystem back then that we are seeing right now Windows is to Mac in 1985 as Android Apps is to IPhone/IPad Apps in. [url=http://www.pickpolos.com/class/big_lacoste_polos_women_short_sleeve_1.html]lacoste polo discount[/url] Which in turn created new jobs and even new industries.Now is the time to encourage more of the same through tax breaks for small investments and extended holding periods in startups. We may also want to consider encouraging the creation of new Investment Banks that take small to medium size companies public. There has been so much consolidation and contamination in Investment Banking that no one wants to waste time on the $5mm dollar IPO. Yet that is just what the economy needs to create jobs.The public markets were once designed to showcase and raise capital for up and coming, exciting companies. Now the only IPOs seem to be chinese companies and the re-flating of highly leveraged Private Equity deals.

Each index has its own calculation methodology and is usually expressed in terms of a change from a base value. Thus, the percentage change is more important than the actual numeric value. Real artists don't have teeth is a performance monologue by the Spanish artist Dora Garc�a. [url=http://www.cheapbootstore.com/ugg-argyle-knit-boots-c-103.html]genuine uggs[/url] It will be premiered Tuesday March 9 in Moderna Museet Biografen, as a part of Garc�a's exhibition at Index in Stockholm. Tinted by the artist's characteristic dark humour, the performance work examines the complexity in issues related to censorship, audience-artist relationships, mainstream and marginality. Real artists don't have teeth, that compose a part of Garc�a's work series Mad Marginals, has been produced by Index.
The work of Spanish artist Dora Garc�a explore certain expressions taken from popular culture processed in real time and through a fictionalized course of events. [url=http://www.alexanderwangstore.com/christian-louboutin-boots-c-1.html]alexander wang boots on sale[/url] Fiction becomes her one important tool since the artist has no intention of building reconstructions of history, but rather to offer possible scenarios where conventions concerning ethics and morals are being challenged.
The performance is presented in Swedish and features actor Jakob Tamm. Tamm was educated at Drama Centre London and has been working at G?teborgs Stadsteater, Folkteatern i G?vleborg, Dalateatern, Stockholms Stadsteater, [url=http://www.alexanderwangstore.com/christian-louboutin-boots-c-1.html]alexander wang boots 2010[/url] Orionteatern and V?stan? Teater. Jakob Tamm acted in Pleasure, a co-production between Riksteatern and Teater V?sternorrland, which was also broadcasted in Swedish Television.
Dora Garc�a's exhibition at Index is realised through the support of Sociedad Estatal para la Acci�n Cultural Exterior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Spain, and Instituto Cervantes, Stockholm.For the past three centuries, [url=http://www.alexanderwangstore.com/christian-louboutin-mary-janes-c-4.html]alexander wang boots sale[/url] scientists have documented the earth plant and fungal diversity through dried reference specimens maintained in collections known as herbaria. There are approximately 3,990 herbaria in the world today, with approximately 10,000 associated curators and biodiversity specialists. Collectively the world herbaria contain an estimated 350,000,000 specimens that document the earth vegetation for the past 400 years. Index Herbariorum is a guide to this crucial resource for biodiversity science and conservation.
The Index Herbariorum entry for an herbarium includes its physical location, Web address, contents number and type of specimens, history, and names, contact information and areas of expertise of associated staff. [url=http://www.alexanderwangstore.com/christian-louboutin-mary-janes-c-4.html]alexander wang for sale[/url] Only those collections that are permanent scientific repositories are included in IH. New registrants must demonstrate that their collection is large usually 5,000 specimens minimum, accessible to scientists, and actively managed. Each institution is assigned a permanent unique identifier in the form of a four to eight letter code, a practice that dates from the founding of IH in 1935.

The first impressive thing

joinlogin — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 03:34:45 GMT

By continuously [url=http://www.buymbtshoes-online.com/]buy mbt shoes online[/url] investing in our data and product development, we make it simple to develop and integrate vehicle information into applications for manufacturers, online retailing websites, financial institutions, and other automotive providers, driving more vehicle sales and greater profitability. [url=http://www.buymbtshoes-online.com/class/big_mbt_lami_1.html]mbt walking shoes[/url] See why thousands of diverse companies have chosen Chrome for their automotive data needs. Because after Steve Jobs was fired it made him a man who would never rest on his laurels, or worse yet seek an early retirement like Bill Gates. [url=http://www.buymbtshoes-online.com/class/big_mbt_lami_1.html]mbt anti shoes[/url] Being sacked gave Jobs something to prove, and looking at the last decade at Apple boy did he ever prove it. And I don�t think that Jobs would have shined as bright as he did if it weren�t for the fact that he was in exile for over a decade from the company he co-founded. Apple today also owes a great deal to the company that Steve Jobs established while he was in exile. Under the surface of every modern Mac, [url=http://www.buymbtshoes-online.com/class/big_mbt_lami_1.html]mbt shoes knockoffs[/url] iPhone and iPad is the operating system that he developed back in 1985. Even the ability of Macs to run on Intel chips owes a great deal to the variety of chips that was designed to run on after NeXT exited the hardware business.
But getting back to John Sculley I�d argue that what the computer industry looks like today in fact owes a great deal to what Sculley did at Apple from 1985 until his departure in 1993. And what makes his accomplishments all the more amazing is that while he viewed himself as a marketing guy.
As a Mac fanboy the first impressive thing that Sculley did was to grow Apple from $800 million in sales to $8 billion. This boom came to Apple because of the Macintosh, but in retrospect it might not have gone that way. [url=http://www.buymbtshoes-online.com/class/big_mbt_lami_1.html]classic mbt shoes[/url] The first cash cow for Apple was the Apple II which was the computer that put them on the map � however they failed with the Apple III and the Lisa, so it wasn�t a sure thing that the Mac would find an audience.
And least we forget Commodore which was around during the same era never pulled off the same success when they went from the C64 to the Amiga, and the same fate also met Atari after it introduced the Atari ST. Seen in this light Sculley is the man who helped Apple get out of the 80s and into the 90s. [url=http://www.buymbtshoes-online.com/class/big_mbt_kaya_1.html]replica mbt shoes[/url] Sculley also managed to attract a strong group of third party software developers to the platform like Adobe and Quark which empowered Apple to dominate the creative marketplace � which in turn helped them survive during the dark days ahead in the 90s.
Another thing that allowed Apple to survive after Sculley departed was the legacy of innovations that were produced during his tenure. It was during this time that Apple pioneered the concept of �multimedia� which is very much alive today. [url=http://www.cheapbootstore.com/ugg-classic-cardy-boots-c-77.html]ugg classic cardy[/url] Currently nobody thinks twice about a personal computer that includes a CD-ROM drive and can play digital video; but these technologies were first rolled out by Apple and actively evangelized to their developers.
Part of Apple�s multimedia push included the revolutionary program HyperCard which was introduced in 1987. HyperCard was given away for free with every new Mac and it was the first program that allowed non-programmers to create their own software. Microsoft would later pick up on this concept in 1991 with Visual Basic.

The broken paper incident.

I try, I mean I really try to be cordial with folks, courteous as can be thats me, well most of the time anyways. But fuck me, you act like a dipshit I just want to reach in my pocket and stick you with my pencil, fill you full of lead. maybe that might wake you from your inglorious slumber. I mean, some of these people actually make money selling there stupid as fuck ideas. I want to know who invented this toilet paper that you can see through. I mean rice paper is stronger then this crap and now you expect me to wipe my ass with this stuff. You first mother fucker.

I assume it was to save money but lets take a look at that first. Now, normally I dont wash my hands after every time I use the rest room, I mean if something goes horrible wrong of course but most of the time, its trouble pretty free. Then comes the see through TP, what asshat thought of this idea, certainly they should at least have to use this stuff themselves to see what a fucking bad idea this was. I know for myself, I use pulls from the dispenser to take care of my business. First to do the major clean up the second to finalize the process then im outta there. I didnt touch anything but TP why should I wash up? Well with this new see through stuff they not only are not savinf money I need to use more stuff then I used to use before. I mean now I got to pull three times, the first two are the same but now i need a third pull just to clean the shit off my finger that broke through rice paper they are passing off as ass wipe. Not onlyu that now I have to use the sink because something has gone horrible wrong. Give me a break, I mean I dont know if they even make a pencil big enough for this moron. I think he should just be recycled back to cleaning the toilet rather then inventing shit for it.

I think I figured it out, some years ago an alien come to earth and kid napped some poor but dumb son of a bitch and now they are reproducing this model over and over again and sending them back here to replace the smart ones. Fuck, I cant seem to find anyone who is worth there weight in salt for fucks sake.

中国共产党人党主席毛新宇：新毛派的纲领

毛远新 — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:31:56 GMT

我们的生活质量在很大程度上取决于生存压力。我们都是为我们自己的行动负责的个人，而且我们都希望生活在完全自由中。但同样真实的是我们任何人都无法单独生存，更谈不上一个有意义的人生。我们不断互相需要，因为我们也是社会性存在。我们的发展，首要的，是人们合作的产物。
基于这样的信念，社会主义党制定了我们的核心看法、我们的任务和我们的理想。

1 社会主义的核心
作为社会主义党，我们的思想和活动，遵循三个中心概念：人的尊严、价值的平等和团结。正是这些价值观，通过几百年的经验，已成为人类文明和进步的关键的要素。在未来，对于任何要被视为（仍然）文明和想继续发展下去的社会，这些价值观将继续是根本的。通过一个对于资本主义的及其对人民和社会的影响的理性的、具体的分析，我们创造条件，使我们为一个更美好的世界的斗争更有成效。我们的对错过的创造这样一个世界所有机会的道德愤慨，使我们具有这场斗争要求的承诺、精力和决心。我们的理性分析，给我们洞察力、我们的抉择的方向、以及我们需要的战略和战术，用于我们成功后。人的尊严、价值的平等和团结，与我们对世界的理性分析，形成的社会主义的核心，构成一个尺度，我们用其评价发展和方案。我们要基于正面的经验来建设，吸取负面的教训使我们能够防止或抵制再犯错。正因为如此，我们总的出发点也用于我们日常的政治实践中，在我们的总看法和我们的具体意见和建议之间，能有一个明确的和可核查的联系。

2 人的尊严
人的尊严，我们是说一个人对别人的尊重，有权自由参加影响社会的组织方式的决定，一个每个人的安全的存在，一个可供每个人追求的公平的机会，同时充分尊重他人以及所有生命、他或她的个人幸福，推论是所有人为他或她自己的思想和行动负责。

3 价值的平等
一个文明社会，要求根本的承认所有的人有同等价值，没有一个比另一个多。同样对待每个人，要求整个社会的广泛的宽容，没有一切形式的歧视和忽视。

4 团结
我们坚持认为每个人都具有同样的价值，我们同时承认，并非每个人在每一方面都一样，机遇也不同。因为如此，我们必须不断增进人之间的团结，在需要的地方帮助和照顾对方，给大家一个真正的机会，过一个充实的生活。

5 社会主义党的主要任务
我们的基本信念，人的尊严、价值的平等和团结，使我们反对这样的社会---整个世界被主导于'人人为己 '的想法，'强权即公理'超过人人享有平等机会的信条。我们决心打破'资本'对社会日益加强的控制。我们拒不把社会的管理交于市场力量的自由运作。我们不接受资本主义经济规律决定着政治发挥作用的范围。基于这些原因，我们努力打破目前的新自由主义的潮流，这意味着要在议会内外努力，将民意表达和我们与人们的联系作为一个整体来改善。

以下是社会主义党的主要任务：
制定一个对资本主义的世界秩序的根本的批判
发展和实行斗争，为实现短期和长期的替代方案
对话与合作，与每一位愿意为一个更美好的世界而思考和行为者

尽管知识和资源爆炸性增加，二十世纪没有带领我们到一个'乌托邦' 。社会却越来越多的向' 恶域 '发展，一个野蛮的丛林，强者为王。这种发展，一个资本主义的理想状态-理想的，对富者和强者来说-我们坚决以我们有的一切手段抵制，为所有人的利益斗争，为一个在2 1世纪的更美好的社会。下面我们将按10个标题列出为创造这个更美好世界的我们的意见。

1 民主的社会
为了保证人类的尊严、平等和团结，要求社会的深刻民主化。因为经济对生活质量的决定性的影响，民主控制经济，是最重要的问题。民主控制必须优先于任何对经济力量或私人财富的管制。这反过来又需要民主选举产生的机构行使的对经济的控制的系统性的扩展，以及工人对他们所在公司行使的控制的结构性增加。民主原则 ' 一人一票'更公平、更合理，而非资本主义的原则'一股一票' 。一个民主化的社会是最好的保证，确保社会进步和正义、健康、自然与环境等要务。

重要服务、公共交通及基础设施，要掌握在公共机关的手中。基本服务，如教育和保健，应该在政府直接监督下。只有政府才能保证人人平等的获得这些服务，只有政府才能作出考虑得更广泛和更长远的决定。

民主不仅是权利，而且是职责，其中最重要的是参与的责任。公民应参与选举和支持他们选出的代表的活动，并在必要时罢免他们。为了民主的正确运行，决策必须透明,决策人和公民间的距离尽可能小。公民必须有更多的影响力于他们自己的工作和生活条件。这会增加在决策程序的积极参与的机会，降低不满和政治冷淡的风险。

议会民主，基于公平的代表性，是最重要的途径，让民意表达并付诸实践。因而保卫和加强议会民主，具有至高的重要性。移交主权权力于不民主的超国家机构，如欧洲联盟，导致严重的和不可接受的侵蚀民主。一个民选的政府首脑、民选的议会和民选的市长等元素将扩大和深化民主，就如同协商和纠正的公民表决、对重要的问题的大众倡议。社会有责任保证增进每一个人的人权，如见于世界人权宣言、儿童权利公约和其他国际条约。一切形式的歧视，必须予以猛烈斗争。

2 基于合作的社会
工作是生活的一部分，每个人有工作的权利。同时，我们不是为工作生活-我们以工作生活。基于这个原因，我们反对24小时经济和不断增加的工作中的弹性以求利益利润最大化，我们主张分担现有的工作。残障人士有和其他人同样多的权利来工作，这个目标的实现要靠开放合适的公共部门和私营部门的工作场所。不是人们不断适应工作，工作应该更适合人。国家要迫使企业作出贡献，实现充分就业。这样，浪费劳动力和投掷人于废物堆将可以避免。作为一个必然结果，每个公民都应该贡献，尽他或她的能力，为了优化的社会的运作。这可以通过有报酬的工作，还可通过帮助需要照顾的儿童或成年人，或通过志愿工作。养老金领取者应给予机会，如果他们愿意，让他们把自己的知识和技能用在社会上，无论是作为有偿工人或受尊重的义工;然而，无忧的养老权也应得到保证。

3 公平共享的社会
只有当每个人都有幸福生活的机会，可持续改善生活质量的目标才能实现。为此纯收入应该不仅受限于一个法律规定的最低，也应有一个法定的最高限。无限的收入，无益于合理的利益，还需要更多的金钱，这些金钱本可以用于更好的社会目的。政府必须有足够的资金来维持这种基本服务，如教育、公共交通和保健于一个较高的质量水平。

一个人如果不能做有报酬的工作，或者是被免除这种工作，应该有权保证安全的存在，足以能全面参与社会生活。税收制度要有助于形成一种财富的再分配，那些可以负担得起的承担最重的负担，这就要求累进制的税收，于收入、财产、利润和继承。那种通过国际条约，世界性寻找最廉价的劳动力和最'称心'的税率的比赛必结束。

4 健康的社会
每个人都应该有平等的权利，以保障他们的健康和享有高品质的医疗。这既是一个文明的价值观问题，而且是对未来的一种投资。因此，每个人都应该免费获得必要的医疗照顾，而国家承担其资金。因为健康是如此依赖于生活和工作条件、抚养、教育和营养，必须采取措施以确保每个人，不管他或她的社会情况，有机会健康发展。社会经济的健康差距的诱因，必须大力解决。一些公民优先，那种以牺牲一些缺医少药群体的利益为代价而给一些人优先权的现象，是不能接受的。预防胜于治疗。基于这些原因，预防和早期识别威胁到健康的情况，应该扮演一个重要的角色于保健上。食物和环境的信息和监视，促进健康的生活方式，都具有十分重要的意义。应该能够让大家参加体育活动。不是片面的侧重于表现最好的，应更多地考虑到更重要的事情，如体育广泛的可得性及其对个人和社会的贡献。

人的尊严会损于遭受无法承受的、绝望的痛苦，病人和医生陷于一个极其困难的局面。安乐死，在绝症最后阶段，可允许于非常严格的条件。作为一个社会，我们必须尽我们的力量改善，到可能最高的水平，依赖于我们的照顾的人们的生活质量。这样，安乐死可以避免成为一条退路，而是对一个极端的情况的反应。

5 可持续的社会
人们不但与其他人生活在一起，而且与大自然生活在一起。尊重一切生命，是一个文明的标志和健康的心智。在一种行为的社会意义与其对自然和环境的影响后果之间，社会必须找到一个可持续的平衡，这平衡应被民主的警惕来认定和维持。危及人的生命或福祉的活动，无论是现在还是将来，必须加以防止。无节制的生产增长和消费社会导致不可接受的自然和环境的损害。政府必须注意商品和服务的生产没有牺牲环境，在这里总体利益必须优先于个人利益，在必要时可对企业和个人采取行动。

农民应有机会采取负责任的方式来耕种，尊重人类和环境。有机农业应予以鼓励。动物的利益，应给予更多的关注。生物技术产业里对动物福利造成的损害，必须结束。生命形式的专利必须取消。基因操纵也一样，除非保证不会有持久的损害。开发原料及自然，在我们国家以及其他地方，必须看其对人、自然与环境的影响。不要一味注重短期利益，应优先考虑可持续性。原料及产品，必须尽可能的回收利用。经济交易应该以在经济上负责任的方式进行。

6 一体化的社会
社会要运行良好，必须注意一体化与和谐。移民和原住民的一体化应在每一个层面受到鼓励。生活、工作、休闲与自然，不要冲突，而要互相适应。这要求深思熟虑的利用现有的空间、足够的机制保证民主的决策。在需要的地方，土地必须由社会所有，炒地皮被禁止。

一体化也必须是住房政策的一个起点和优先项。一些居民群体面临着一个堆积的问题，如无人维修和被忽视的公共空间；而另外一些人却拥有他们想要的一切，这种反差必须消除。各阶层各族群等形成的隔离聚居区-包括富人区，是不可接受的，部分原因是因为他们置人，特别是儿童，于不利的局面。每个人都必须有权利得到可负担得起的、优质住房，在舒适的环境里。除其他事项外，这将需要一项具有法律约束力的收入和住房费用的合理关系，鼓励建立社会住房和更公平的分享稀缺空间以作住宅、工作和休闲。出发点必须是，空间不仅是一个商品，社会的需要先于财政利益。炒卖房屋是不能容许的。深入加强以民主方式选举产生的机构的影响于涉及土地和住房事物，是必要的，以保证每个人都有居住权。

社会应当能够使人人有机会周游，通过不同形式的公共交通，便宜、快捷和舒适。在我们的国家每一个利用现有的空间的决定，必须考虑在结构上限制使用私人交通工具的需要。偏好环境不友好的航空运输，必须结束。最环保的客货运输形式，应予以鼓励。

7 安全的社会
每个人都在同等程度上有权保护他或她的人身、权利和财产。为了确保这种保护，片面强调更多的镇压措施、更强的处罚和扩大警队做法，必须让路给更广泛的方式，尤其是注意犯罪的被害人和社会的不安全。警察和法院的重要任务是抓住犯罪分子、维护公共秩序和安全。社会应该给予他们这样做的手段。不过社会也必须首先为自己确定了目标，以尽可能的防止犯罪行为。在领导岗位上的人滥用权力和机会，社会必须大力解决。但也必须认识到，人在很大程度上从他们的社会地位得到身份。当他们没有地位并且没有前景以改善这一点，有时候就容易犯罪。因此，社会必须更加注重许多犯罪活动的社会和经济背景，以及经济发展落后的街区的更大的不安全。立法和司法行政应延长平等权利并施加平等的义务于人人;每个人都必须得到保障以平等地获得司法和法律援助。司法歧视是不可接受的。

8 学习的社会
提供良好的、可得的全民教育是我们可以做的一项最重要的投资。正是出于这个原因，它应由国家进行。这样，我们就能避免教育的不可忍受的分裂，一个豪华的私人部分给有钱人，一个贫困的公共部分给少钱人。金融壁垒限制教育的可得，必须消除。教育必须在原则上是免费的，由国家的一般资源支付。好和普遍提供教育至关重要，对每个人和作为整体的社会的发展。教育政策要立足此认识，人类是社会存在，不是按生产手段的要求尽快成型的东西。教育应力求实现一个广阔的视野，而不是现在看到的日益狭窄的眼光。哲学应包括于每所学校的课程里。儿童有权利做儿童，有权利玩耍。儿童应被养大为有能力的、有批判力的个人，能发现事物如何配合在一起。他们应该能够自信的接近艺术、文化和科学，也要学会珍惜和尊重他们的人类同胞和一切生命。如同教育和培训为他们的工作做准备，都应该有机会继续进修，以扩大和深化自己的知识和理解力。
科学的独立性，对社会的发展至关重要。因此教育和研究的私有化和商品化应予以抵制。

9 创造性社会
社会作为一个整体应该是我们的文化传统的监护人，在这句口号最广泛的意义上，鼓励主动和被动参与在艺术与文化里，给人机会，以发现新的意想不到的事物。艺术与文化，不仅提供放松的机会，还给人们带来可能性去发展自己的和他人的创造性。对于一个要不断更新自己的社会来讲，这样的创造过程是非常重要的，。基于这些原因，艺术与文化的商品化，必须予以抵制。艺术与文化的纯粹商品化，导致不乐见的排斥各阶层民众的金融障碍。此外还导致，可有资源的贫困化和扁平化。

有权自由表达意见，自由地接触媒体、文化和信息（包括互联网），这些权利应与保障。进入图书馆、博物馆和画廊应该免费。政府应确保继续一个强大的公共广播服务，其中的多样性应被保障。提供信息的不良的权力集中和滥用，必须予以抵制。新的媒体法规是需要的，特别是保护儿童免受商业剥削和不良暴力或有害的图像的影响。

10 一个社会
在国际层面上，应该鼓励承认人的尊严、平等和团结的基本原则，反对世界范围的社会不平等、贫困、欠发达、战争和其他形式的暴力。只有到那时，世界上所有的公民才能被给予人的生活的前途。如果我们要对付人口过剩，消除贫困和更好地分享繁荣是必须的。彻底的重组庞大的第三世界国家的债务，也是必要的。世界经济应该从根本上改革，使发展中国家的产品被支付在一个公平的价格上。国际组织（如强大的世界贸易组织），必须不再把自由贸易作为最高的善;代之以所有国家和它们的居民的发展为目标。对于在国际层面上的企业和国际金融机构的力量，要通过国际组织的协议和国家机关之间的条约来予以减少，以便更利于民主的控制的机构。严格规范国际资本流动是需要的，对这种流动所产生的利润进行收税也是必要的。更好地在全球分享繁荣，将增进机会，让大家过充实的生活，并结束许多地区的冲突，从而结束破坏性的难民流动，并给予他们国家机会以进行理想的结构性改革。难民救济，是活跃在国际团结里的所有文明的人的责任。国际协议应当制定出来以期大大减少军备。

11 我们的呼吁
社会主义不是一个未来社会的步骤图。这也不是一个乌托邦式的预言，用承诺满足自己，说越过地平线一切会更好。社会主义首先是对人类和社会的一定的理想的表达。它提供了为未来的一个看法，而且首要的，有此时此地意义。

社会主义的出发点是，人性是衡量一切事物的尺度，并认为这尺度必须成为建立社会的标准。人的尊严、价值的平等和团结在一起，形成我们衡量的标准，在此时此地，以及向一个更美好的世界的路上。

越来越多的人相信，�更多市场，更少政府'的信条没有提供任何结构性的或可持续的解决办法，以应对我们时代的重大问题，他们问自己，�下一步呢？�在一个全球性的社会，国家事务越来越被国际事态发展所主导，在这个问题上没有一个简单的答案。我们不是一个孤岛，而是一个世界性的整体的一部分。无论现代社会多么复杂，需要有一个替代，对我们来说仍然是一个事实。

因此，我们呼吁大家，如赞成人的尊严、价值的平等和团结的基本价值观，我们一起思考进一步发展和拟定可行的办法以替代这个资本主义' 恶域 ' 。我们这样做基于一种信念，即未来不属于�经济人' ----自私自利的、算计的人，他们认为，所有幸福的计量是与他或她的收入、他们的消费成正比的。我们更确信，未来将是'全面人'的一个社会，他们的创造力和奉献精神，是用来造福整个人类、整个自然界和整个地球。

Electronik supersonik

diazepan — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 21:07:05 GMT

Zladko "Zlad!" Vladcik is a fictional character created by Santo Cilauro, an Australian screenwriter and producer. Over time, he has become an Internet phenomenon.

"Elektronik Supersonik" is itself a kitschy, over-the-top combination of Italo disco and Synthpop. Zlad! is featured in a mullet, bushy mustache, and silver spacesuit and is supported by a female keytarist and background vocalist with pink hair. His lyrics are often in spoken word or badly sung, not to mention full of grammatical errors, reversed semantic units, and meta-references to thick Slavic accents. For example the song opens with: "Hey baby, wake up from your asleep. We have arrived onto the future and the whole world is become elektronik, supersonik." The end of the song contains a reference to the fictitios Eastern European country Molvania. It was featured in a recent ad campaign for Mountain Dew MDX. It also carries a heavy sexual undertone.

Marisol was in the 60's, one of the greatest spanish actress and singer. In 1972, she was part of the spanish musical miniseries "360 degrees around...", which was some kind of advnce to the videoclips. We will hear this RARE version in english-chinese of the Manolo Escobar's song "Porrompompero"

And as a bonus, I'll put the Manolo's original version, only because the guitarist ROCKS

Two songs involving Elvis

Now we're going to hear two examples of incredible misspelling. In first place, we'll hear "El Principe Gitano" singing this "cal�nglish" version of "In the ghetto"

And who believes that was ridiculous, they should hear Elvis singing the famous mexican folklore song "Guadalajara"
