Saramago Owes at least 717.000 €uros to the Spanish IRS.

The Nobel of Literature refused to pay anything to the IRS. He considered himself a kind of God, a Communist God of course. The kind of God a militan atheist like him could invent. From 1997 to 2000 he owed 717.ooo € but we have also learnt that he had paid nothing since then, so that amount is just a little sample.

He was an inmoral person who was always boasting of his solidarity and his anticapitalism. Giving lessons on morality whenever he could, attacking the Bible, the Catholic Church till the end of his days on Earth: the Bible as a "handbook of bad morals." Speaking at the launch of "Cain," Saramago said society would probably be better off without the Bible. ''Cain'' takes a critical and sometimes lighthearted look at the life of Adam and Eve's son, according to Chowk.com.

Poor rich man who even had to invent his family poverty to be able to get the attention of his public, his followers like that type of things even if they are not true.

Saramago was a BIG FAKE

He never paid taxes neither in Portugal nor in Spain, so he was an outlaw, a criminal, don´t you think so?

Who will pay for Saramago´s huge debt? Perhaps Garzón ? What a bad joke!!!!

In Flanders Fields_ JOE

In Flanders Fieldsby John McCrae, May 1915


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Wonderful LIFE

The Right Brain vs Left Brain

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images

Financial Times: Is publishing images offensive to Muslims justified in terms of freedom of speech?

Is publishing Images offensive to Muslims justified in terms of freedom of speech? by Alicia Antolín de la Hoz

03 Feb 2006 10:24 PM

I don´t like the question because it implies a desire to harm Muslims . We are in Europe and in Europe we have our own philosophy, our own culture, our own beliefs, our religions and we don´t try to impose them to anyone. We respect everybody, we understand and respect other cultures but above all we must respect our own and common culture. It is at the same time a very modern and an ancient one. Through the centuries we have learnt to listen to everybody but there is a limit: We cannot admit threats of any kind in our own territory. We are Europeans and in Europe we have freedom of speech. We deserve it because our grandparents had to fight even giving their lives for it.They had to fight in two horrible World Wars to defend our FREEDOM, we have the moral obligation to defend it and nobody can threaten us for doing so. We could get rid of two totalitarian regimes: Comunism and Nazism thanks to the help of the United States of America and we don´t see the need of surrendering to any other totalitarian regime in which in the name of their God anything can be justified.

ROBERT BURNS

A Red, Red Rose

[Hear Red, Red Rose]
1794Type: Poem

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!

This is other of my favourite poems, it is wonderfully sang in a CD composed by BILL DOUGLAS. I recomend it .

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

William Wordsworth (1770-1850), British poet, credited with ushering in the English Romantic Movement with the publication of Lyrical Ballads(1798) in collaboration with Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


"I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD"

I WANDERED lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay: 10
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood, 20
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

1804.

This is one of my favourite poems. I find it just magic.Whenever I read it I experience an enormeous mixture of marvellous feelings, I can feel the soft breeze, I can smell the water, I can experience a good sensation as if I were taking part in that walk with them. It is something difficult to explain but there some times in my life , there are some times during the year when I need to read it. And this is one of those times so I have searched the net because I remembered the first time I had the chance to visit the most wonderful web page about Wordsworth and thanks goodness I have found it, so now I can keep it in my blog and share it with all of you ,poetry lovers.

Tough girls give birth to boys. Incredible?

I am a tough girl!
I am the mother of two boys !
According to timesonline " TOUGH, confident females may be more likely to give birth to sons than women with less pushy personalities, researchers have found." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,176-2070169,00.html
I like this explanation very much indeed, perhaps it is not true but it is very good all the same, because though you were not tough enough, after bringing up boys you certainly are much tougher than you could have ever imagined . Many times you are at a lost asking yourself were has the girl in you gone , you miss her, oh my God how much you can miss her...!
But the truth is that the most of times you feel great , the authentic Queen in the house, the make you feel that way, so Congratulations and Good luck, boys are loveble , and I can tell you a secret : they will always be the best admirers you could ever dream of.
Love them and feel proud of being a mother of boys . They are a blessing to the world .
