Solzhenitsyn talacha

criticize the editors of Le Monde to the AFP for having called the newly deceased dissident Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, stating that the term should apply to them is to opponent. And explain that, although relational meaning between two words there is a difference that should be noted: the maverick is "the critical part of a system or a movement of ideas."

However, Solzhenitsyn himself was a dissident, to the extent that, at least before being a political prisoner, he shared ideals and common values \u200b\u200bwhich put him in jail and exile were his views on Stalin, whom he considered "evil ideologue and strategist worse." That itself was revealed as a dissident, and walk expressing their views in a personal letter he sent to a friend from the front of East Prussia, was considered a traitor and sentenced to eight years in prison. Leaves no wonder that, in the midst of war (well, almost at the end, as this was in February 1945), Stalin and his henchmen had time to groom walking behavior of others in search of opinions contrary to official canon. In any case, if death is the maximum loss that may sustain life, Solzhenitsyn has to be elated to get out of jail the same day that Stalin died on 5 March 1953.

was released from prison, but was not free: the labor camps "corrective" (administered by an agency whose acronym gave the title to one of his best known works, The Gulag Archipelago ) was sent into internal exile in Kazakhstan . While there he was diagnosed with cancer that nearly cost him his life. In addition, the year prior to his departure from the labor camps, his wife, so supportive she filed for divorce. With so many hits is it that Solzhenitsyn has left his political ravings and it became deeply religious.

Then in 1962 came the publication of A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich , registered political maneuvering by Nikita Khrushchev to accelerate the process of de-Stalinization. But for his next book, Cancer Ward in 1965, Nikita was history and the Union of Soviet Writers was censured him rudely.

The publication history of the Gulag Archipelago is a real ray of Soviet control methods. Written from 1958 to 1968, towards the end of the work was kidnapped by the KGB. Well, one of the copies that existed was abducted, before that had been smuggled out and taken to Switzerland, where it was published in 1973. His impact was enormous in the West, if While the left derided as anti-Soviet propaganda.

The fall of the Soviet Union and the opening of its secret archives confirm not only the veracity of Solzhenitsyn, but also show that in many cases was short, for example, when he says that from 1930 to 1939, the fourth part of the population of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) disappeared in the gulag.

Anyway, dissident or opposition, whatever it is called, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn was primarily a critic who, if put in his sights to the Soviet system was not to curry favor with the West, but with the intention of seeing its best country. One of the reasons for not you can easily label is also criticized calls Western democracies, which he accused of having lost its soul in the process of modernization.

Solzhenitsyn What was it? Perhaps he was a mystic prophet, a visionary embittered by the blindness of his contemporaries, a disillusioned man of the century, a troubled soul for his orphan by birth, by the early death of his mother, by the hunger of his youth and war of adulthood, the political persecution of his life, never satisfied by the hope of seeing his country free of tyrants.

The crisis that we have promised to power

De plane, is losing the battle Calderoncito crime, organized either on the powerful drug cartels, which is dedicated to the juicy kidnapping industry or even the mere amateur crime, the assailants made up raterillos and freelance , many of whom , as the ancient mercenaries, put their skills to serve the same police who should be fighting them, in exchange for protection.

FeCalHin The other fronts are more encouraging: the campaign to convince us that we better sell our little treasure before we steal it remains stalled. In another country in our continent, the sharp oil price allows the frog Mussolini Hugo Chavez will become entrenched in power, perquisites and privileges distributed among his acolytes and, thanks to the subsidy of petrol, it won the popular favor. Elsewhere, with a barrel to 120 dollars apiece, governments are looking at the profitability of the business and we are entering the exploration, extraction and production of crude oil. Ah, but here in Mexiquito are very macho and no economic indicator will come to tell us what to do. So the big battle of the little guy is getting rid of the oil industry just as the global situation of rising oil prices would recommend to hold on to it.

And if on the home front things are color ant and externally are not better. His government and threw the towel in the most serious problem that Mexico with its northern neighbor: the migration (well, emigration and immigration for us for them.) Without a defined policy, without goals to achieve, Los Pinos at the mercy of the whims of the White House, perhaps in hopes of moving in next January, but the evidence suggests that so far, Mexico's migration policy is to understand their San Judith candles to protect the compass in search of better living conditions.

From my viewpoint, that is, seeing life through the TV screen, I feel the reason for such failure: Mexico is a country of constipation. One hundred million peasants unable to meet their needs can no longer gut to produce a shitty country. Well, that judging by the constant bombardment of advertisements for yogurt milagrientos guts to make them work at full speed and as little clock Swiss. And on top of constipated, overweight, because according to this, the happy yogurt ('added' fiber) also have the property to burn fat and reduce size. These advertisers have to think that the body is made of bait and can melt like candle by the simple expedient of submitting to external heat in steam baths or similar, or internal, with pills "fat burners" and other concoction.

Finally, the proposal, of course, so I do not say that constructive criticism: with all that fat that is lost unnecessarily by equipment, diet and exercise, should not make a giant candle, planting 'yes now that Zocalo simply dedicate a saint who had the necessary elements to get us out of hole? I mean, because bet that politicians, parties, law enforcement and other components of the state apparatus would solve this crisis very naive plane. At this point we can not ask for miracles.

minorities

Whoever wins the November elections in the United States, the next president be a member of a despised minority: if Obama, being black (okay, mulatto, but still he is considered black), if McCain, by then old, to 72 years who turns 29 in August, was one of the elderly presidents have been there.

Minorities "neglected? What about the civil rights movement of the sixties and the relevant law was enacted that year? And since when the venerable members of the elderly (in the United States call senior citizens, ie senior citizens, if we stick to the etymology of senior , senex comparative , Old) are a despised minority?

face it, at least in the media, the old do not exist. And if they appear, is only to post remedies for erectile dysfunction and other ailments of age. The sector in our time is drawing the youth, because somehow it has cornered the purchasing power and therefore more appealing is the target of marketing.

Age weighs in a world designed to be young. John McCain, aware of this phenomenon, described himself as "Neanderthal" in computing, since confessed that he is able even to use e-mail. Yes, apparently the technology is targeted at young people (and monopolized by them: Bill Gates founded Microsoft at age 19) and, leaving aside the fact that it has become the mark of our civilization, it would be doubtful that such a confessed computer illiterate McCain could be considered the champion of a country that boasts of signal new directions of technology.

Barack Obama, meanwhile, is a client of the Blackberry and, at age 47 that meets this August 4, would be one of the youngest presidents of the United States, where the seriousness of his skin color does not from reaching the White House. You really would be an impediment? That is what will play in this election: the demonstration that American society really believes that his African origin does not affect your ability to lead a country that is collapsing due to the disastrous policies of the current holder of the presidency (George W name . Bush, another computer illiterate 62-year-old, who wanted her out saying that he does know how to use the "Internets.")

McCain supporters, of course, claim that it is not necessary that the veteran Arizona senator personally attend to your Facebook page to lead the country, for that, they say, are the assistants. Moreover, note also that, for reasons of Security is not appropriate that he take care of your mail, mail or on paper. But at least it might prompt greater sensitivity toward people who passes online 16 hours a day and to avoid comments like that was two years ago in South Carolina when he said it was important to communicate with bloggers, "however painful she went. " Of course, this does not prevent you from having your own blog , probably because it has been a consultant has suggested (and some assistant is kept, of course ).

How comprehensive is Obama bloggers? He has not commented specifically on this, but also has your blog page and online community in mind can imagine (this is the Facebook ).

Anyway, things are outlined in black against old, in geeks against Neanderthals, in a minority against another. There is little that is at stake, as the result of this confrontation will affect the entire world. Maybe my cousin Ramiro is right and we should give chance to all to vote in that election.
