Some more words...

10 days have passed since my last post, the truth is that I've been to busy lately, school, reading, and lots of birthdays, that weren't really wealthy for my savings... But there's always the better side!
Past 20th was my 16th birthday and there are always good things in these days such as the party, the fun we have with friends, receiving greetings from everyone and of course the presents which everyone likes. Besides, being 16, I can now, legally, drink and see rated R movies, that in Portugal require 16 years old or a accompanying adult. I still remember few weeks ago when the saleswoman refused to sell the ticket to Exorcist - The beginning...
By the way I would like to thank the attentive anonymous (or maybe not) reader that wished me a happy birthday! Thank you!
I finished reading The Phantom of The Opera by Gastoun Leroux during the last, a story that will be in the movie theatres next 22nd December. It speaks about the story of the Opera Ghost, the inexplicable murders of workmen and the disappearance of the brilliant singer Christine Daaé during her performance at the Paris Opera.
One book ended, but I received one more book to keep up my English practice: Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn. I guess I'll just have to add it to my endless list of next-reading books, which includes Hamlet by William Shakespeare that I'll have to read as part of the reading contract for my Portuguese classes.

Draining Life...

Well, I wanted to post on World & Environment so I adapted my recent essay on environment that I did for English classes...

Signs are everywhere but people just don't want to accept them, to use their reason, to understand that world is collapsing!

Growing fires, shorting lakes, rising carbon dioxide levels, spreading diseases, melting glaciers, forests disappearing and drying rivers are just some of the signs that natures gives us. We are now just starting to feel the effects of years and years of non-ecological policies...
For too long we've changed natural harmony in order to progress and comfort, but what progress and comfort can come from a destructed nature??? What kind of wisdom is that which makes us feel superior beings that can rule nature and wildlife as we will?? Our actions brought us to such a situation that we just cannot handle, consequences on nature are turning even worse and there is no way to deny it!

The world is bleeding from it's nails because of our constant torture. We are crucifying ourselves too, but no one seems to damn it!

Lost Chance...

A Lost Chance for a happy ending
A Lost Chance for a better world
A Lost Chance for new path on world's evolution
A Lost Chance for a new hope
A Lost Chance for many lives that may be lost innocently
A Lost Chance for Nature
A Lost Chance for North-Americans
to change the route of world so it could be free of Bush inhumane and selfish politics, interested only on own comfort and wealth, not mattering the world nor the nature and yet thinking as if he was world's liberator.
Bush had his opportunity and it was clearly a lost one so why vote in him again??
I just can't understand, Americans are frightened, they fear terrorism but with Bush terrorism will only raise.

A Lost Chance and a Dark Day for humanity.

Democracy

First Democracies were born in Classic Greek and literally democracy means people''s authority and it's used to describe a government that's ruled by the majority of the people, by elections and other forms.
Called by many as the Greatest Democracy, USA is a democracy in which the President wasn't elected by the majority of the electors, a democracy in which every elections have an enormous number of meanless votes, a democracy in which electors votes do not have all the same importance. And yet, this democracy has a huge power on world and influences it's destiny too much.
The last years with Bush in the White House have been too harmful to the planet, the refuse to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, the moved-by-petroleum war in Iraq and it's disastrous results on making Iraq a "Free" country and consequences on world's economy, and all the internal retrocess in family's life and social affairs. But with all these problems Bush still found money to waste in arming, to improve security, when the truth is that world is today much more insecure then what it was 4 years ago when White House received it's new inhabitant.
So, for all the world, for us and for the future generations, let us hope that North American electors choose the right person. Let's hope that they'll Vote for difference, let us hope that Kerry will win these elections. A victory for Bush will mean a new mandate with more intense politics than those taken before, while Kerry will not make the same mistakes as Bush.
