Munch (snuff) Ebrard? Which side taken here
Pure broth and no meatballs. In 2006 I had no qualms about admitting my political preferences. First, because I've always been left. And although my point of view of politics has never been represented, or even identified, with some policies of the Mexican left, for me has always been (and will) be very clear that it is sometimes more important snatch some power to grant it to others. And in this sense, in 2006, for me it was proprietary to remove a piece of the oligarchy mafia which together account the PRI and the PAN, and opt for a national project different and good than harm, then, was more or less well formulated by AMLO.
But we all know what happened: In addition to that AMLO was a bad contender, drowned in the arrogance of those who believe to be right, and that squandered a huge statistical advantage and also the fact that there was a very choice suspicious and truculent, whose proceedings are to be used as fuel for the boiler that heats the pools of Los Pinos, thanks to the nth concertacesión PRIAN.
CEO of Mexico (Federal District) result? A new and improved chairman to lead the country (because that are members of the PAN, "executive" or "executive" as opposed to statesmen and politicians), and a strange being, an inhabitant of the Countess, which governs Mexico City a stick that one can hardly understand yet. So while the good Maquiavelipe Executive Vice President Calderón and his junior, the Facha Ivancito continue showing their enormous skills to take a blind eye and the wallet too, peje is now a political corpse without much chance of revival, and all the momentum gained by the left 2006 went down the drain.
To make matters worse, the combo why many voted, we ran out of hamburger and we had the pure papafrita. Marcelito, the ubiquitous, it has some respectable qualities: he was loyal to his political godfather, Camacho Solis, who in turn now it is very loyal to their political representative, AMLO, although a little less each month, as was his very poor campaign politics that caused it, once again, failed attempt to get closer to the presidency of the republic, this time from the left. However, short-term expediency, Marcelo today he remains loyal to the pseudoizquierda that led to his first elective office, although his loyalty is not used as much, since their ways and attitudes are a hallmark of his past Salinas.
Marcelino, claw and wine. Not everything has been infamous in its administration of the city. There is progress in public safety and have finally begun work that had years in oblivion. However, this is not what should be a priority for a leftist government, and neither are the tunnels to Santa Fe, Bus lines or routes that nobody understands and whose works are slower than the bike he used for Ebrard go to chamba for two weeks. Marcelo should learn from what went wrong that AMLO as he tried to curry favor with the middle and upper classes of Mexico City. With all that, every morning, a horde of mindless PAN climbs to "pinchurriento" second floor from the comfort of their southern colonies, Marcelito should know that while doing so, many of them speak of the "stinking peje" and its " Marcelo carnal "with the same fury as ever, and yet are happy to not have traffic lights where the" nacos "ask them alms. Moreover, from up there or seen.
Marcelito, for reasons unknown surely even he has pushed laws like the now fashionable in all desktops: the sacred law to protect non-smokers. It is curious to see morons like Otto Sirgo and Diego Fernandez de Cevallos, who almost unnoticed dare to cry out against the left, like this which would have generated the above law, and not a pretentious group of upstarts who want to feel in the first world through a "free atmosphere smoke. " It is curious because, finally, Otto and the "boss" Diego show their utter disdain for others and how they absolutely worth mothers around the world, if they can smoke at their leisure. It is curious also because we are witnessing an incredible and absurd exchange of roles, such as Mexico can only cause. Enacting laws left right and right to advocate for free will (as opposed to what you should, of course).
Whether or not it is absurd (the law)? The purpose, the essence, the objective and the foundation supporting the leyantitabaco not entirely unreasonable. The State Strictly speaking, should not encourage behaviors that endanger the health of many, and certainly should favor (in a vision of right) or even provide (in a left) the health of its citizens. However, in Mexico are far from having such a state, and no federal or local, has the human resources, financial or moral to deal with public health. What recourse then governments hypocrites? A law such as "smoking" highly publicized, media and, as we say colloquially, totally "apantallapendejos."
There are many problems in this and in all countries, with governments prefer not to deal with. In this country, for example, 40% of the population lives in poverty in cities dirty, unkempt and full of health risks. The domestic industry, poorly regulated, released into the atmosphere month after month and year after year tons of toxic particles. The streets in the City and practically the whole country, are filled with garbage, human and dog feces, rats, cockroaches and a host of beautiful pests and contaminants. Why not deal to these problems rather than creating a law designed to slightly more advanced societies than ours? Because they do not have neither the money nor the size to do so. Media attention because it is not helpful to clean the streets or in the industrial belt and its factories, but as the anti-smoking law itself "takes", especially if accompanied by some beautiful and ridiculous stickers, with a clover leaf center , pray that you are in a "100% smoke-free."
The reality is that we are not. And the trouble is to pretend we do. Claim that the smoking ban really has a positive effect on health, while industry, automobiles and unregulated public service still fouling the air every day. As aquifers. Like all contaminated.
The priority is bluffing. And this whole thing is a matter of priorities. Is priority of the Mexican state or government of the City deal with the issue of snuff rather than, say, insecurity or the many other types of pollution in the city? In my opinion, no. There are no verifiable statistics place to smoke as a public health priority, and yes, for example, cervical cancer, papilloma or diabetes. And yet, Marcelo and its members, with one stroke, took two steps forward with legalization abortion, and ten back, with his imitation of anti-smoking law.
Perhaps my argument about priorities is not sufficient reason to question the validity of the law. Maybe I should point out that the state also has the right to influence the free will of the people, when it comes to products sold legally as part of the established industry. And, under the view of the smoking ban, the state should also burgers were sold in public places and require all restaurant owners to sell exclusively macrobiotic or organic food because pesticides are also proven carcinogens. Similarly, alcohol should definitely prohibited, since that causes thousands of crashes a day, and their sale in public places encourages constant bickering and even crimes and voluntary and involuntary homicide.
And then, on waking, we would be living in "Brave New World." For Huxley's totalitarian fantasy was not, as some think, a portrait of the dangers of communism, but a prophecy about the dangers of fat to the state and its powers. And while I believe in a responsible State with obligations to its citizens, and I think, in particular, the Mexican state owes much to its citizens and, in some cases, governments have compensated pseudoizquierda some of these medium debt (privileges to the elderly, pensions, educational support to low-income families, etc.), I am very concerned about the direction that Marcelo is taking in recent times.
The bacha reality. understand, honor and respect the smoking ban because I believe in the law than non-smokers have to breathe, how ironic, the least amount of smoke can snuff. We smoke, smokers, produce no desire to harm anyone (even, ironically, ourselves), but that for reasons beyond our control, they can cause damage to those who breathe it. And for that simple reason is that it should be respect it. Despite being a first world law of a country of five. Despite being badly formalized, have an ambiguous regulation and segregation, causing quarrels among people.
Antier reported that Marcelo wants to go against the "2x1" and "Happy hours" bars. This is not just an attack on free enterprise, but one more example of the hypocrisy with which he is taking his administration. It saddens me, yes, because after 10 years of the PRD government in Mexico City, the city had made substantial progress in social, environmental and even in its infrastructure and street furniture. And from 2006, the only thing salvageable was the legalization of aborto, mientras que la política social va en retroceso, el transporte público está bajo una terrible presión y ahora, para colmo, la sociedad está siendo segregada por leyes como la antitabaco, sin mencionar los daños a la industria restaurantera, que es uno bastión económico de las zonas turísticas de la ciudad.
Y lo más sorprendente, es el puritanismo. ¿De dónde viene todo este súbito interés por regular la vida nocturna, el consumo de alcohol y tabaco, el sexoservicio, etcétera? ¿Votamos por un gendarme moral o por un gobernante que se comprometía a atacar las deficiencias económicas y la desigualdad social de la ciudad?
"El futuro it's not like before, "Tomorrow we back to the street and breathe the same shit every day. Tons of particulate matter and ozone that are scattered throughout the city, while in Ecatepec and other areas of metropolitan industrialists will paying kickbacks to "comply" with environmental regulations. Maybe afternoon we please walk around the restaurant where we usually have coffee and talk a while, and when we stand to smoke, some idiot bother because we are not enough away from your desk, or because we stand on the corner of his house and invite his paranoia to call a patrol, as we witnessed last week. Maybe a little monkey performing their returns is given by the countess, striking her pretty gloomy stickers everywhere, and people-the most asshole-really believe that living in a cleaner and better place because you can not smoke even in the vips. In the evening we arrive home and, if the TV is in a dismal channel, see Otto Sirgo and his hosts to televise deplore left because they can not smoke or in their own restaurants, so "do not respect these damned PRD freedom. "
So, little by little, as our new gendarme of morality and decency new rules imposed on us and keeps us charging them starvation wages, Felipillo and his gang are prepared, as I said for more than a year to prepare the sale simulated PEMEX, "this terrible and outdated business" which goes against the EPR, mysteriously, when the government is best for you. Meanwhile, the media continue to be discussed between the underwater treasures of our new Salinas, the "Better Living" which has an impressive stench "solidarity" and the pathetic advertisers always engaged in the PRD, whose infomercial spots seem more reminiscent of old ads Jaramillo dentist.
The country of the simulation is increasingly bleak, and more simulator. This republic of Cynicism seems to have no more comparison to the absurd and surreal, but the reality is foolish, and proves wrong every day. Behind their desks, the great manager of the Republic, and all employees happily squeeze the treasury and distributed among the guys. Today, when the currency is more in the air than ever, our "left" continues its nationalist discourse obsolete as the country is for sale. And Marcelo, could have had the opportunity and certainly had a duty to take the baton that was taken from López Obrador by their own ineptitude and fraud puppies, is devoted to ban smoking, clean whip ridges and drunks.
When will this Manichaeism of poor quality that have made policy? Between PRD pigsty of the election, obscurantism in the Pines and impunity continue to rule pedophiles, swallowing mole with "accurate", I'm tired of Mexico all the time. And if the little that can be enjoyed in this country, the freedom that gives the Third World and its lack of coercive power, begins to be dismantled by a regulation out of all proportion and priority, we must think seriously and in the new foundation or just on the abandonment of this country, which-while far-no great future. Or would a good friend, "the future is not like before."
