Bueno, hoy me encontré con unos Testigos de Jehová quienes me querían regalar un libro sobre el creacionismo. Cuando llegue al parque habían tres de ellos, las dos chicas que siempre había visto y un señor mayor. Nunca lo había visto en el parque. El estaba bien vestido, acicalado y con unas Ray Bans. Las chicas esta vez andaban maquilladas y con perfume. En dos meses nunca las había visto tan aregladitas. Pienso que era por el señor quien las acompañaba. Aparentaba jefe. Me dicen que no consiguieron el libro que me prometieron, pero que el próximo viernes lo traerán junto a su libro de estudio. Hoy me trajeron en vez dos panfletos y me explicaron como su punto de vista era mejor que el de los "Evolucionistas"
Aquí hay un pequeño resumen de la conversación.
Omar: En que creen los "evolucionistas"
Señor: No te sabré decir. Es que ni ellos mismos te pueden decir. Ellos tienen diferentes opiniones sobre lo que es y no se pueden poner de acuerdo.
Omar: Como la religión?
En eso pasa un deambulante pidiendo dinero. Le dicen que no tienen pero le dan uno panfletos. Saved by the bell.
Omar: Que ustedes creen que es la evolución?
Chica #1: No te sabré decir.
Omar: Entonces porque ustedes no creen que el "Dios diseñador" utilizo la evolución para crear al ser humano. Si El es eterno y creador, entonces su creación es una obra en proceso y eterna. (a todas estas ellos no saben que soy ateo)
Chica #1: Porque no esta en la Biblia.
Omar: La Biblia habla de ciencias?
Chica # 1: Si. En una parte habla de la gravedad, como la tierra flota sobre la nada y en otra habla sobre como la tierra es redonda. (El verso del cual ella habla solo dice que es un circulo, no una espera, pero la dejo con esa.)
Omar: Bueno, si es asi, en el segundo capitulo de Génesis, Jehová creo todo en un orden. Saben lo que es el récord fósil? Eso tiene orden desde los peces hasta los mamíferos. Igual que en la Biblia.
Señor: Donde en Génesis?
Omar: Capitulo uno, porque el segundo capitulo dice otra cosa.
Señor: Bueno, es que la Biblia no tiene orden cronológico. Si te pones a leerla así nunca la comprenderás.
Omar: Entiendo que no esta en orden cronológico. En Génesis, la historia de Noe, Dios le habla de animales limpios y los no limpios. Esa distinción no aparece hasta Levítico.
En esto, le hombre se pone de pie. Es una clave para las chicas de que se tienen que ir. Aparentemente no estaban preparados para hablar con alguien quien había leído la Biblia.
Me hablan un poco mas y se van. Hasta el próximo viernes me dicen. Tenían tanta prisa que una de las chicas casi dejo su teléfono el el banco donde se sentaba. A ver si regresan el viernes. Les cuento ....

Taking a Chomp out of Chomsky
This post is in regards to Noam Chomsky's latest article, "My Reaction to Osama bin Laden’s Death" . Although well written, there are many things that I strongly disagree within. The first would be of Noam not analyzing the consequences of capturing Bin Laden. Does anybody think that Bin Laden would actually get a fair trial? And does anyone doubt that terrorist attacks would be committed in attempts to liberate or hostage-trade for Bin Laden?
Noam makes a good point about Bin Laden only much later admitting and taking credit for the 9/11 attacks. Many of us remember him denying any involvement. What anti-western terrorist group would not want credit for that? But those bragging rights cost him dearly and where dangerous propaganda.
The comparison of Bush being assassinated and dumped at sea is far out. Even if we consider Bush and and Bin Laden war criminals, that comparison is silly at best. You must take into consideration why Bin Laden was assassinated and dumped at sea. The reason was the anticipated repercussion from fanatic sympathizers. A better comparison would be if the U.S. would be harboring an international terrorist, and foreign government agency had to sneak in and kill him. Would we blame the U.S. for harboring that criminal, or criticize the country that entered the U.S. to take him out?

Extractos de 'Carta para la Joven Nicole Desde mi Alcoba Blanca'
"Me encantas!... Ni siquiera las palabras del poeta más versado serian capaz de describir tu hermosura... al pintor más talentoso se le haría imposible capturar tu belleza aunque se especialice en pintar ángeles...... Te escribo esta carta desde el manicómio, pues como puedes ver, he quedado loco por ti."

Abducted
"I told you already! It was aliens. Creatures I have never seen before. Pale white skin and black shinny eyes!” Jack screamed at Bill. “I was having my breakfast. Next thing I knew? Some invisible force was pulling me upwards and upwards. All the way towards the sky till I could breathe no more. I tried to resist it but the pain was unbearable. Oh the things they did to me Bill! These creatures had no compassion. I could see specks of blood all over the inside of their ship with crippling clarity. Everything was so bright. I bet it would of had reeked of death were I able to breathe. But I couldn’t and the thought became more insistent with each passing moment. And then there was darkness. I blacked out and woke up back home. You believe me, right Bill?“
“Uhuh.” Bill answered. “And um ... if you just woke up here maybe you dreamt the whole thing” . Jack seemed infuriated. “You don’t believe me?! You’ll see. You better hope that never happens to you! But I do. I hope it does happen to you. That way you will believe me.” And with those words Jack left. Bill didn’t care.
Bill went on his own business. As a matter of fact he had forgotten all about that conversation until one fateful morning. He was having his breakfast and felt a burning ache in his throat. He tried to move but the pain had lodged in his jaw. He was then yanked up with tremendous force. He tried to get away but could not see what was pulling him. Up and up he went. Or was it down? He could no longer tell. All he knew now is that he couldn’t breathe as the fishermen pulled him into their fishing boat. Bill glared at his own reflection on their black shiny sunglasses. These must be the aliens that Jackfish was speaking about.

El Valor del Papel

Un Mundo de Papel
Desde que nacemos y nos dan un nombre al igual que se ha nombrado a todos los otros animales por orden de Dios, el papel nos domina. El papel ES Dios. No eres nadie sin papeles. Bienvenido al mundo! Pronto te daré un diploma certificando tu llegada, mientras tanto tome un numero. Este numero escrito sobre el papel le asegurara socialmente. Así podrás hacer trueque con el sudor de tu frente para obtener papeles verdes con numeritos y caras de personas muertas importantes. Con ello puedes obtener lo que quieras! Y sin ellos no podrás hacer nada y quizás te mueras de hambre o de alguna enfermedad curable por no poder comprar antibióticos. El billete es el único papel que no botamos en el zafacón. Las monedas las tiramos por dondequiera pues no valen tanto como el papel. Te digo el papel es Dios y en el confiamos ("In God we Trust"). Por dinero hasta matamos porque el papel vale mas que la vida misma.
Como? En tu país no hay papeles de trueque? Bueno.... pues busca entonces por un libro dividido en versos que habla de un ser supremo. Te aseguro que no importa como se llame, Biblia, Quran, Torah u Jadid apuesto que te dice que mates en nombre de aquello escrito en el. Te dirá como vivir y como tratar y juzgar a los demás. No tenemos que pensar en una existencia de largo plazo y en realidad no importa lo que le hagas al planeta. Contamines o destruyas no tiene importancia ya que Cristo viene y con él la muerte y fin del mundo. Y viene ya! Viene pronto! Porque? Porque lo dice el libro. Bueno tiene que ser verdad, esta escrito en papel.
