First of all, I’d like to extend an apology to my readers for not being able to update in such a long period of time.
Truth is, I haven’t had Wi-Fi connection at my place for almost two weeks; which makes it difficult for me to keep in touch with the blog and what not.
Enough of that, let’s talk about something else.
I am standing, right now, at the state’s congress building. (Congreso del Estado de Jalisco). I was invited by the principal of my university to take some HD Video of a congress meeting due this afternoon.
Standing here, watching all the politicians who’s job is supposed to be watching out for us; Over hearing some conversations, I realize; ironically enough; not to my surprise, that this people is just as frivolous and uncaring as anybody else… if not even more.
This is the awful truth of the government, not only here where I stand. Not only at this awful country people call Mexico.
It is something of universal presence.
And why would they care. They are no more than humans after all, now, are they?
But this people is supposed to be and think different, they are supposed to care and manage to fix people’s problems.
Being here, really, has made me a little sick to my stomach. This is the place where, people perfectly knowing, politicians approve undeserved increments to their salaries. This is the place where politicians make laws that take away our liberties and make our lives pray to the big enterprises.
This is somewhere I would rather not be. And still, I am here for a reason. Not only for the job that was commended to me. But because being here, I know, will make me think more of these issues.
It’ll open my eyes to those parts of society and government I (and we as a peoples) should be criticising and changing for good.
Being here makes me feel enraged and full of thoughts of rebellion and social action. Let information be our weapon and wisdom our guiding light.
Let us take back this world, for it belongs not to this people in suits and with thoughts of personal enrichment in spare of what people needs.
This world belongs to all of us and all of us are to be taken accountable for what happens to this world while we do nothing about it.
Give me a world where government works for it’s country and not for the few who stand a a posicion of power. Or even better, let us create such a world.
Good to be back.
