And again, its all about the money. money money money
I recentlly saw the new Michael Moore's movie 'Capitalism, a Love Story' (I recommend, really good), and, among lots of creepy and disgusting stories, this one is the one that surprise me the most:

Companies are actually taking advantages of their employers deaths!

I would write everything here, but I watched this video on You Tube that describes everything in a easy and fast way. Watch it, its worth it

(sorry, it's impossible to put the video here,I don't know exactly why)

Some things that the video doesnt say
The most famous companies that profit with this Dead Peasants policy are:
Wall-Mart (the worst one), Nestle USA, Wall Disney (VERY SAD to know that, really :T) and Coca Cola Company.

Whaling

Posted on 22:08:00 by Livi Gerbase | 1 scraps


They are big, gorgeous, quiet and totally harmless for human beings, but they are almost desappearing from earth. Cows, fishes and chickens arent enough for the human race? Do we really have to eat whales to survive? The japonese people think we do.
Whaling is something so ridiculous that deserves to be the first to be written about.

Since the dawn of men, men chase and hunt whales. In the past, I can kind of understand this habit, but now, with internet and its tons of information about extinction of species and ecology, some countries [mainly Japan (that is responsable por over 50% of whaling and have the guts to say that its all for science) and Norway] keep hunting these adorables animals. And its just for the food, because the oil doesnt have the value nowadays that it used to have. The worst is that over 2 millions of whales were killed in this century. Therefore, this disgusting habit has followers and buyers.
The main issue is the enormous quantity of pain they suffer because of all this: first, they are chased for hours. When they are finally exausted and give up, harpoons penetrate for almost 30cm on their skin. This horrible pain can last for over an hour, because they can survive with only their main organs working.

I really cant belive that in the 21th century we still torture animals in this ancient and horrible way. Really stupid =P
So.. SapiensSapiens?

Sapiens Sapiens?

Ladies and Gentlemen =)
Im here today to start a sequence of posts about some things that makes me wonder if we can really be called Homo Sapiens Sapiens.
We know that we know, but in some situations we really forget to think racionally about what are we doing and about the consequences of our actions.
Blinded by money, consumerism, instint, fanatism and many other things, the human race forgets compassion, friendship, love and faith to fight for they’re own stupid goals.

Related to that, I’ve just finished to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a great science fiction comedy written by Douglas Adams. Take a look at this quote, in chapter 23:

"For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons."

Maybe we're not the smartest after all =) In these posts, I may show you why o/

Imagine

You are alone. You lie down in a place when the floor is warm and soft. Your eyes are close and you can't even feel your body. You are surrounded by nice and soft sounds and clean air. It doesn't matter where you are exactly, in a city full of lights or a rainy forest, but you are where you are suppose to be. You are free. Completely free. Free from your problems and responsabilites. There's no one watching you.

If you really want to, you can share this moment with a person. Just put her/him in your imagination, just let her/him be next to you, quietly.

You are finally calm, with a confortable sense of happiness (not the material sense, the one that is always with you). And it's like you had always known why there's life, why you are breathing. after all.

And you just be. No rush. Just because =)

Let the seasons begin

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
