Money vs Justice


On March 17, 2009 Denisse Fimbres Oquita and Victor Quiroz Beltrones were killed by Fernando Noriega Soto at Bahia de Kino. Denisse and Victor were camping in the beach when Fernando, who was driving in an alcoholic state run over them.
It has been a year since the dead of Denisse and Victor but is still I tragic story that we will always remember and have present. It’s incredible how having power and money can make a difference when you are involved in a crime. When the accident happen every single evidence and witness was hidden. The families new about their sun’s and daughter’s dead almost 12 hours later. Imagine what they felt about. What would have felt if nobody tell you what had happen? Let me tell you that I was frustrating not knowing anything. When Victor’s brother, Carlos Quiroz, finally arrive to the police station, Fernando Noriega was already being asses by a lawyer. It was obviously that something was going wrong. Everything that happen was changed in order to make Fernando Noriega an innocent person. When the accident was published in the newspaper, the story was completely changed. What the newspaper said that Fernando’s car got stucked in the sand and when he finally was able to move he accidentally run over the tent where Denisse and Victor were sleeping. Bullshiit ! it was a total controversy. How can it be possible that just because you are rich and know important people you are able to make your son free of any fault?
The families of Denisse and Victor wanted to know the truth, they wanted the truth to be published, they wanted justice. It took like a month after the accident for the truth to come a light. Fernando Noriega went to jail for less than a year. Even though he is free from jail, I’m sure he is not free of culprit and he will have to live with that. i don’t wish him any bad but I hope the death of Denisse and Victor is not in vane. I hope that what happen help create conscious in Fernando and in other people who drive in an alcoholic state. I also hope that authorities take more serious their work. They are there to make justice not to accept extra money you know what I mean. And I also hope the same that Fimbres and Quiroz family hopes too: Thet this never happens again

Extortions lead Mexico to cut cellphones

Tens of millions of Mexicans could find their cellphones disconnected this weekend if the government goes ahead with a new law meant to fight crime by forcing people to register their identities. Advertisements on government radio and television have been urging Mexicans for weeks to register their cellphones by sending their personal details as a text message, but on Thursday 30 million lines remained unregistered as the Saturday deadline neared.
Analysts said that any related losses for Mexico's largest wireless operator, America Movil, would be tiny relative to the company's overall sales. Most of Mexico's 84 million mobile phones are prepaid handsets with a limited number of minutes of use that can be easily bought in stores. The phones can be topped up with more minutes through street corner vendors.
Imagine how many money could lose Telcel, Movistar, Lusacell, andm any other brands we don’t know. Also this will create a lot of disorder in the stores, people asking for service and attention to their situations.
America Movil has 71 percent of Mexico's wireless market, together with operations in Brazil, Chile and other countries in the region. Most of the rest of Mexico's cellphone market is in the hands of a company in Spain.
This week, senators refused requests from telephone companies to extend the deadline for a year, but discussions were ongoing and a last-minute vote could not be ruled out. The Reforma newspaper reported that a judge refused to give Telcel an injunction to stop the deadline.
I don’t think this is a good idea because anyway extortions will continue meanwhile cellphones keep in bad guys’ hands. It is true that many of these calls come from jail on those people would not be able to keep calling, but lets be realistic, we are in a country were corruption is everywhere, how much time will elapse from the cancellation of this cellphones systems to a man to take a phone to a guy in jail, how much for 20 cases of this type, how much for 100, faster than can we imagine.

Even the FBI is in Paulette’s case

The March 22 disappearance of Paulette Gebara Farah drew great attention throughout Mexico, and officials said they assigned 30 investigators to the case. Web pages from friends of the family and others were posted on the Internet, asking for help finding her.
Everyone in the country know about this tragic case, even the people that is not following it very often day after day in the news, even those people knows about the case of the 4 year old girl Paulette.
A lot of stories have been told around many newspapers and television channels, a lot liars are in this tragic story that it seems that has no end, when a clue to find the suspect comes up, it is know something else that erase all possibilities of getting into the bottom of the case.
What impress me other day was that this case went too far that the FBI had to intervene, it seems that only an organization so big like this one could lead us to the real problem. Sources have said that FBI people is checking the department when this whole thing took place. Are they really the solution? What comes next? The CIA will come to try to find out what happen to the little girl, is it that in Mexico we don’t have enough sources to solve our problems? This tragic episode of Mexican life has made impact in many people not only of Mexico but from other countries, this story has been read worldwide. Unfortunately this are the kinds of news that people from other countries read about Mexico. Let’s pray for justice, because that is what we need, justice and that the really guilt people go where they belong, to jail.

The brain suckers

In my family, we have a ps3, a wii and everyone has a portable game and I love these games; but recently, I have noticed that my relatives spend too much time in these videogames, they are becoming addict to these kind of games, they want to play every single minute they can and it’s kind of funny how these games affect them, because you can see they start to lack of imagination, and whenever they want to joke they bring these weird jokes about their games that nobody understands.

When they are playing these games they loose their minds, they are like zombies trying to reach the next level. Whenever I try to make them go out and have some fun or even just take a walk, see the moon or anything, they just don’t want to go and they want to play even they had played for about hours or even don’t want to sleep because they still want to play more. I think that when they reach this point that’s when our parents have to do something on the matter. The other day I read in QUO magazine that every human has to follow the 8 rule, which consists of 8 hours for working, 8 hours for fun and 8 hours for resting and I think it’s quite true, because we have to balance everything and organize out time.

I think it is important to bring a balance; it is ok to play with them because that’s why they were created, to have fun and don’t be bored, but we have to take care about the time of our lives that we spent in those games, because we also have to get along with our family, nature, and so on. They are not bad if we use them cautiously.

POVERTY

I will love to share with you how does the word Poverty is one of the most common during this and the past decades. My question is; Why are we living such a poverty, if we are getting more technology and machinery, why can't we make our standar of life higher that the actual .





Don't you imagine that lots of people right now they are standing out there in the wind, in the sand or in the floor of cement really cold. They are sleeping on the street using newspapers to protect form the weather; how many people is living in carton houses; how many people is having their babies without medical services, how may people is wishing to eat only a piecer of bread. Well, I can continue all day long telling what does poor people do in order to survive, but this is not my point during this post. So, let me better tell you about what are the causes of poverty.


1) Almost half of the world population live on less than $2.50 per day.


2) The GDP of 41 heavily Indebted poor countries is less than the wealth of the world's 7 richest people.


3) Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.


4) Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.


5) 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day).


"Poverty is the majority of the world's people and nations. "

THE HUGE JOB

BE CAREFUL!


The huge job, well in this post I'm referring to the Corruption system that almost all of our countries have. This system of corruption consists in the taking of money it is not form their own work. They are taking that money sometimes by making like works with other persons, narcotraffic, and so many things that create a great imapct and affect a lot the economy and standard of living in our countries.



I'll like to specify my post in Mexico that is one of the countries with a Democratic government that presents almost always a corrupted system. What does people is thinking by doing this? is the question that I I'm always asking me. Why? Well, I realize that people make this not because they need the money, but sometimes they are forced to do such "obligations".


I'm really scared about all this because Mexico is increasing evertime more; we are having not only corruption, but we are also getting all this kinds of violence (violation, drugs, suicide, deads, killes, thieves, etc...) Our country is presenting such problems that make us appear as a poor country in respect and lack of order, but yes they said that we are rich in humilious persons.


All this problem "CORRUPTION", creates great impacts that we can't even imagine what does this simple act make such things. For example our country is suffering of diseases and of poorness, but no, the government can't do anything because they don't have enough money. And tell me why does the main political figures have as much money as they can and they said that they don't have enough money to pay or to help a bunch of friends that are sufferin of hunger or cold.

Lets sing all Together!


“United until Dead”



Have you ever heard a song named: “We are the World”; well I will like to talk about his because I love to sing and the purpose right here is to see how all this beautiful voices join only to sing this wonderful melody. We can say that it is only a song, but I want to make a little emphasis right here were the song is dedicated to the children and adults that are suffering and living that tremendous tragedy. Haiti is the name of the city that is living all this consequences (in the last piece of the song we can hear that a singer says: Haiti, Haiti, Haiti…. I love it).


We can see that a few years later we had Michael Jackson’s version were he sang also with lots of famous singers completely incomparable with the actual ones (they had voices that can’t be consider as the ones in the actual artistic world).


Now, what I really wanted to tell you is the impact that this song create in society. As my point of view the most important thing was that people and society can appreciate all this voices and the union that they are presenting because we had rappers, romantics, rockers, etc.. So, that way we can see that even though we are different in character, characteristics and culture; we are always united until dead(like the phrase I wrote in the beginning of the text); we are always united in this type of tragedies and cases that impact our economy, society and also it is something that touches our heart. We are making things to save does people and try to help them in the basic needs they have (food, water, etc…).

SUPER BOWL XLIV

This Super Bowl that occurred was the 44th of the National Football League. This game was made by two teams were the fighters or players were this ones: New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts. This game was made in February 7 of 2010. All this controversy create a lot of conflicts in society.

This Super Bowl as all the pastgames we had had lots of conflicts that provoke great changes or damages into the society. In this types of games, like the one in football, we experienced terrible experiences: like when people is thrown through the hallway or when some of then start fighting while their team is playing. But the mayority have a common denominator that is to fight and continue shouting against there opponent team .

People has to be conscious and also they have to learn how does they have to act against all this problems. They have to learn how to work with a collaborative learning and a feedback for allseen. We as humans need to work in teams, if not society is going to be totally separated.
