What is going on with people?

Since the year when Calderon became president, I have been wondering, what is going on with people? Why do they complain of the national situation but still vote for mediocre candidates? WHY?

First, I want to write about Sonora. Before the tragedy of ABC, everything was alright; Elías Serrano and Pano Salido were the favorites candidates, all indicated that they would win the election. But then, suddenly a daycare named ABC burned down. People not only in Hermosillo, but also in Mexico were concerned about the babies and how to heal the surviving babies. But then, I am not sure of the stupid guy who came and told that relatives of Eduardo Bours were the daycare's owners, and about IMSS and that it was their fault and bla bla bla. And all people started to chase them until they went to jail. Only a few people still were concerned about the babies and how to send them to a hospital specialized in burns in the United States. Even though it was actually their fault, Elías Serrano, Pano Salido and us did not have to pay for it. People in Sonora started to think that the two candidates were just like them and among other things. But, are they the same just because they belong to the same political party? I don't think so. I still keep thinking if Sonorenses are so spiteful that they prefered to vote for two guy, who actually look like thieves, than to keep their decision, to be strong, to move forward. "But, is that the tragedy of ABC was a crucial factor." Not true at all. The old governor did many good things for Sonora, and he made some mistakes as well. HELLO, HE IS A HUMAN, TOO! But, did he do something when their friends and relatives went to jail? He did nothing. However, I wonder why people didn't think twice before voting. Now, they complain about tandeo and that they barely have water when they need it, but they mainly complain about insecurity and all the crimes that have took place in Sonora in the past months. Where is your wonderful and fabulous Guillermo Padrés Elías? What has he done, besides taking your water away? Has he solved any problem? What about the economic crisis? Does Sonora have enough jobs? Are people staying here, or they prefer moving to the US? I'm not writing about the bald guy who is supposed to be our mayor, because I don't really know what he has done. I think his wife has done more things, but I really dislike her, and I'll explain it: My mom is a teacher in kindergarden that is located in Olivares, before Javier Gandara won the election and the daycare burned down, this "high-class lady" came by and told the principal of the kindergarden where my mom works, that they would build something else there because she pleased. Oh please! Her husband hadn't won the election yet, and she was already planning. I wonder why people complains if they were the ones who made that happen.

Costa Rica has new president, a woman

Costa Rican presidential candidate Laura Chinchilla of the ruling National Liberation Party made history by becoming the first woman to be the commander in chief in that country.

Polls showed Chinchilla garnering 46.8 percent of the vote, with 71.1 percent of election sites reporting. Solis had 25 percent, while Otto Guevara of the Libertarian Movement had 21 percent. Election day was festive throughout the nation, with video footage showing supporters of the main presidential candidates dressed in their respective campaign colors.

60 years ago, women could not even vote, or do any other role that wasn't taking care of her family's home. Now we have an example in the person of Laura Chinchilla of how the female sex is improving in society. In the news channels now we see dozens of women who are reporting the news from the place of the events, role that was covered only by men decades ago.

It is amazing how women had progressed in the last years. Remember that former president of Chile, Michelle Bachelet was also president. There's no doubt about, in years we will continue to see more important roles assumed by women. This society movement did not started today with Chinchilla's president election, is just a reminder of how women are becoming each day more important in society, more that they already are.

Obama's 2010 strategy taking shape

Obama is basically angling to call the bluff of Republicans who he believes have done nothing but stand in opposition to his proposals on revamping the U.S. healthcare system and stimulating the economy.
It is a strategy he is outlining in town-hall meetings and most recently at Democratic fund-raising events he held last week, as he seeks to regain his political footing after Democrats lost their 60-vote supermajority in the Senate.

The president Obama is now putting on practice his ideas about how he was going to take the country on progress. He is asking the other party so they can alliance their ideas so they can get better ideas about how to take the country forward.

Obama and his Democrats, struggling to bring down the country's 9.7 percent jobless rate and having seen their healthcare overhaul stalled, are eager to prove to Americans they can generate results ahead of the November elections.

Broken Promises

I really loved this picture!!!

Taking advantage of one of my ethics homework about moral judgments, I found out something very interesting for posting it today. Do you remember all of our now president, Felipe Calderón’s, proposals before resulting the elected winner for the presidency? Yes? No? I will help you refresh your mind…

Felipe Calderón proposed that he will stop the increase in gasoline costs for the year 2009. Did you see this happen? I don’t think so… I remember once, when driving to school last year, I saw a huuuuuuuuuuge poster hanging between two trees in one of the most important streets of Hermosillo of Felipe Calderón stating that he will actually stop the increase of costs in this much needed resource if you voted for him.

He cheated on us! He lied to his people! (myself included). HE IS A FRAUDE. The president has now to think what to do about this because a lot of people are falling into the account that he didn’t fulfilled his promise. Some secretaries and senators are now making bad judgments to him. The president needs to find a solution to clean his image.

Careful people... don’t let others make a fool of us, especially high rank persons! Demand justice!!
