Crazy Ideas

Life has been extremely busy these past five months, and is going to require a completely different post.

Tango In Her Eyes, may be the title of this blog. Tango brought me to Argentina, but it is love that kept me here. Love for the country, love for a man and the love of my family.

Argentina holds a special place in my heart, and so does my homeland Canada, but more than specific countries the love for our planet, Earth the only home we have seems to dominate my thoughts these days. I guess a huge part of this is now that Isabella is in my life, she has rebirthed more profound thoughts within me and how I relate in the world.

I like to think that I am quite aware and do my part, in trying to recycle and be as gentle to the planet as I possibly can. Yet deep down, I simply am not doing enough. The information is out there but what can one do? Where does one simply begin? How can one step out of our Circle of Destruction and remain a part of society? Crazy ideas, eh?

My crazy 7th grade teacher told us in the early 80´s that stuff we used were designed and manufactured to be of poor quality and to be replaced so we buy more stuff. And get this...this is a really FUCKING CRAZY IDEA at the time Mr. R told us! We would be buying bottled water to drink in about 20 years! What! Are you nuts! What the hell are you talking about?! Sadly, everything stinky, crazy Mr. R said was true.

I want to get my hands on Naomi Klein´s* new book The Shock Doctrine, THE RISE OF DISATER CAPITALISM.

What kind of Crazy Talk is this?! Sadly, it isn´t. And I want to know more!

In a recent talk at the Canadian Centre For Policy Alternatives, Naomi gives a talk about the Disaster Capitalism. In the third part of the six videos it was interesting as what she says about Latin America is becoming Shock Resistant "because they understand where the current attacks fit into a 500 year history of taking advantage of crisis of violent imposition of capitalism..."

I am now very curious to know, which if any policies the K´s have pushed through congress without a ripple while all the attention has been focused on the non-inflation inflation, or during the Farmers Strike and Farmers smoking out the city with the field burnings.

What do you think?

*hehehe originally I had credited the book to Naomi Campbell, well please beg my pardon, I was temporarilly insane with passion, and well you know Naomi Campbell is totally interested in World politics, after all she "paid" a visit to Chavez in Venezula recently, to talk about what´s up in Chavaland.
