James M. Barrie.
Matthew Barrie and the games secrets. James Matthew Barrie was a Scot, born in 1860. His father was a weaver manual. His mother was Margaret Ogilvy. Barrie had nine children, Margaret's favorite, David, died at the age of thirteen because of an accident while skating on the ice. That death very depressed Margaret and Barrie did everything he could to cheer her up. He tried to resemble his brother to the point where not notice the difference, Barrie came to wear the clothes of his brother, and imitated the whistle in the hope of deceiving her mother with this disguise. The result was that deepened the horror. AA
Barrie 25 years and was a journalist in London, wrote reviews of matches cricket, I loved that sport. Had a team including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, began shortly after the books, or writing. The first books were simple and quickly achieved success. He became an immensely rich and famous man. That only children have always felt comfortable with Barrie, bullying behavior almost always the largest because it seems it was a very quiet man, was able to spend long hours in absolute silence.
With women did not have a life too stormy, he married Mary Ansell whom he met at auditions for the premiere of "Walker, London." Many years later Barie learned through the confession of his gardener had seen it all, his wife Mary was with a lawyer friend of the family. There was divorce. In an attempt to avoid upsetting his advertising career as a writer, he prepared a petition, which asked the press to try that case with discretion. The petition was signed by, among others, Henry James.
At one point in his career Barrie wrote a biography of his mare which he titled "Margaret Ogilvy", this book contains the revealing phrase of all their literature: "The horror of my childhood is that I knew I was approaching the time that should Give up my game and that seemed intolerable, I decided to continue playing in secret. " In all games, all his books, the most famous was "Peter Pan." Barrie died at age 77 in 1937.
But back to the phrase "I decided to continue playing in secret." Let me say something about "decided to continue playing in secret." The world we live tempts us with personal progress with the entry to the circuits of consumption and in full possession of the rights of adulthood. Certainly promote the admiration of precocious children we love live adult situations. Now ... What is an adult situation? It appears to have sexual desires and longings of possession. Or perhaps gain some worldly aplomb that lets you use words such as "equally" "Greetings from your home" or "very kind of you." Well, this answer that to be an idiot there is no rush. The precocity of a child pianist is admirable, the precocity of a miserable too soon learned the risks of lending books, it's garbage.
Either way the world demands to leave the game and progress, and those who are playing are scorn and derision. So there are those who, as Sir James Barrie, resolve to continue playing in secret. Some people without anyone knowing through the streets, and play. Do not step on the tiles blue angels not to kill themselves to kill the red devils or play to die if they come across a blonde in the next block, or scream in the hallways, or tread dry leaves to enjoy the crunch.
But make no mistake, we are talking about something else, not merely fun hobby. This is followed, in secret, professing a heroic moral, to continue believing. Not believe the stupidity of the commies, but with the madness of those who will never learn to settle into a world of petty bourgeois, insurance against theft, and domestic appliances such as parameters. James Barrie
would not grow up, Peter Pan would not grow. They would not grow in the worst sense, would not that mediocre resignation that some call maturity.
I have decided to continue playing in secret: a good bet that saves a verse life, pretend that love is more important than prosperity, I play a chord with me crazy, to believe that the best of life not yet happened.
course, there are reasonable people can despise me, and tell me Peter Pan, and laugh at our games and our dreams. Very well. For them it is all over the world. The adult world and the bourgeoisie, the world of television. The world of competitions or rating, care, nor is the gaming world. Because the games, the secret dream of youth, are a thing ... serious people.

I have the impression that George W Bush is not exactly the kind of translator that God would choose, if I had something to say, and the terrorist threat is becoming less convincing as an excuse for the military terrorism.

Flaky Skin On Dogs Back
HUMANIQUE "? Universal monarchy
. Adjective
confirms the low opinion on gender human
are the other inhabitants of this planet
.
This is not the dictionary definition. Not yet but soon will be, while we go. Now rely on humanitarian grounds to release General Pinochet, although his health is enviable compared with the state that he left thousands of dead and tortured. No less humanitarian, truth be told, were the reasons which had brought him to London in 1998: the former general went to buy weapons and collect commissions. Rueda
the world turns the clock. Demonstrates the human world is devoting every minute, a million dollars to militants costs. Wars are called humanitarian missions, since President Clinton and the baptized. Rambo is the Erasmus of this new humanism. As told by the war correspondents, the Russian soldiers who burned down the city of Grozny, had a Rambo by model. And while the bombs rained down, General Valeri Manilov, chief of staff, demanded the surrender of Chechen clear that this was not an ultimatum. "This is a humanitarian act," he said.
A Putin did not want anyone when Tsar Boris gave up his throne. Opinion polls support him one percent of the population. Months later, when the Russian flag that was flying over Grozny, Putin is the most popular politician in Russia. Until his snake's face has been a virtue: it is the implacable and ice cream man that Russia needs. There is no better
campaign that a successful war. Chechnya has been saved from the Chechen threat. Putin has used the same humane treatment that NATO had applied, shortly before, to Yugoslavia. The therapy comes from the Vietnam War. In 1968, an American official had told the Associated Press: "We must destroy the village of Ben Tre to save it." But in the Vietnam War there were many invaders were killed and many were the victims of television showed. Since then, the great powers that share the right to kill with impunity, have made tremendous progress in the art of killing from a distance, without risk of death and technology in the service of hypocrisy, it allows executioners did not see their victims, and public opinion either. The withering military operations in Panama razed whole neighborhoods, Baghdad and Belgrade, and in Grozny have left no stone unturned, have resulted in spectacular ascents of popularity for Bush, Clinton, Blair and Putin.
"Every gun that is fired is a robbery committed against those who hunger and are not fed, and against those who are cold and are not clothes." Although it was delivered on April 16, 1953, when wars were still called just wars, the phrase is very topical in the world today and, without going any further, in Latin America, where military spending has doubled in the past decade. The author of these words knew what he was talking about. Dwight Eisenhower was not, they say, a pacifist agitator, but a professional soldier who was occupying the presidency of the United States.
"Humanitarian missions or human sacrifices? To continue running the cosmic order, the Aztecs offered human hearts to the gods. To continue working the land order, the world of today offers human sacrifices to the arms manufacturers and the warlords. Lord, the God of the Hebrews, who later became god of the Christians and Muslims, threatened a quienes no le obedecieran con azotes y plagas, sequías, hambres y derrumbamientos (Levítico, 26), y sin pestañear ejecutaba sus castigos. Pero el Antiguo Testamento queda a la altura de un frijol comparado con los truenos de la ira del Nuevo Orden Mundial. Y jamás a Jehová se le ocurrió decir que fueran humanitarias sus maldiciones y sus venganzas. El era más bien despiadado, pero no era un farsante.
Quizá las guerras son humanitarias en el sentido de que matan cada vez más humanos sin uniforme. Un artículo del New York Times (de R.W. Apple, 21 de diciembre de 1989) exaltó la invasión de Panamá como un exitoso "ritual de iniciación" del presidente Bush, que así demostraba "su voluntad de derramar sangre". En las ceremonias de cacería de nuestro tiempo, el guerrero es el cazador y el civil, la presa. A lo largo del siglo XX, que ha sido, y por lejos, el más carnicero de la historia, hubo 15 por ciento de muertos civiles en la Primera Guerra Mundial. La proporción pegó tremendo salto, hasta 65 por ciento, en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y después ha seguido subiendo, en las guerras del medio siglo siguiente, hasta llegar a las espeluznantes estadísticas actuales: nueve de cada 10 víctimas son civiles, y en su mayoría niños.
Muchos de esos niños mueren después que las guerras han terminado. Ellos estallan al contacto con las minas antipersonales sembradas en los fields - the United States continues to manufacture and sell despite the international ban - or suffer the consequences of the wars. In Iraq, for example, infant mortality has tripled in the years after the war, because of the economic blockade. "It is worthwhile," he said in 1996, Chancellor Madeleine Albright. In Yugoslavia, children and adult civilians are suffering, and after the war, cancer radiation of land contaminated by depleted uranium-coated bombs, a deadly product to discard nuclear energy. According to the Landau Center, an institute of investiga-tions made a report to the Italian government, each rocket Tomahawk can generate 600 thousand cancer patients. NATO has denied the use of uranium. Then admitted that he had used against Serb tanks. In total, the deluge of bombs destroyed 13 tanks.
United States, whose territory was never bombed anyone has bombed 19 countries throughout the second half of the twentieth century: China, Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Congo, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon , Grenada, Libya, Nicaragua, Panama, Iraq, Bosnia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. In September 1999, President Clinton said: "Unfortunately we can not respond to every humanitarian crisis occurring in the world." Less wrong.

Cute Picnik Quotes Friends
The universal monarchy already the Iron Curtain crumbled, like puree, and military dictatorships are a nightmare that many countries have left behind. Do we live, then, in a democratic world? "Opens this century the era of democracy without borders? A bright picture, with a few dark clouds which confirmed the clear sky?
Speeches pay little attention to the dictionaries. According to the dictionaries of all languages, the word democracy means' rule by the people. " And the real world of our time seems, rather, a poderocracia: a global poderocracia.
Day after day, in every country are cutting more and more the narrow margins of maneuver of local politicians who promise generally will not do that very rarely have the honesty and courage to announce what will. It's called realism to the exercise of government as a duty of obedience: the people attending the decisions made on their behalf, governments ruled by the institutions that govern us all, on a universal scale, without elections.
Democracy is a statistical error, often said Jorge Luis Borges, because in a democracy the majority decides and the majority consists of fools. To avoid this error, the world Today's decision brings the power of the few, very few, who have purchased.
The IMF and World Bank
splendor in the era of democratic Athens, one person in ten had rights. The other nine, nothing. Twenty centuries later, it is clear that the Greeks are going hand in hand with generosity.
hundred and eighty-two countries are members of the International Monetary Fund. Of these, 177 cut no ice. The IMF, which gives orders to the world and everywhere decide human fate and the frequency of flight of flies and the wave height is in the hands of five countries that are forty percent of the vote: United States united Japan, Germany, France and Britain. The score depends on the contributions of capital, which has the most, more possible. Twenty-three African countries joined, together, 1 percent, the United States has 17 percent. Equal rights, translated into action.
The World Bank, the IMF's twin brother, is more democratic. There are five decision makers, but seven. One hundred eighty countries comprising the World Bank. Of these, 173 accepted that sent the seven owners of 45 percent of the shares of Bank: United States, Germany, Japan, Britain, France, Italy and Canada. United States also have veto power.
Nations
United veto power means, in plain language, all the power. The Organization of the United Nations is like the big family that brings us all together. At the UN, the United States shares veto power with Britain, France, Russia and China: the five largest arms manufacturers, who thank God watch over world peace. These are the five powers to make decisions when burned potatoes in the highest international institution. Other countries have the opportunity to make recommendations that will not be denied to anyone.
The World Trade Organization
rights granted are not to be used. In the World Trade Organization, all countries can vote on equal terms, but never vote. "Majority voting is possible, but has never been used in the WTO and it was very rare in the GATT, the body that preceded it," reports their official website. The resolutions of the World Trade Organization are taken by consensus behind closed doors, if I remember correctly was the system used by leaders of the Stalinist order to avoid the scandal of dissent before the victory of democracy in the world .
Thus, the WTO runs in secret, with impunity, the slaughter of hundreds of millions of small farmers around the world, on the altar of free trade. No so secret or so with impunity, though: until recently, nobody knew what it meant to the WTO, but things have changed since that fifty thousand disobedient took to the streets of the city of Seattle at the end of last year and stripped to the public one of the kings of the universal monarchy. The protesters in Seattle were called bandits, mad, confused, prehistoric and enemies of progress by major media. There must be some.
