I am talking to my husband, and he tells me that in the History Chanel they explain what exactly is going to happen in 2012. Now this is a intelligent man, but also one who is truly fascinated by the whole 2012 thing, because apparently the world is going to end, or we are going to go on another plane, depending who you ask. If you ask me, the only thing that will happen is that I, sadly, will get another year old, and probably everybody else in the planet will too. Now, but back to the History channel, they claim that this year, 2012, will be special because our planetary system will be in the center of our Galaxy. Now if you hear this, specially if you hear it on the history channel (who are suppose to get their facts right) you may be inclined to believe it, please don't. Our galaxy, The Milky way, has approximately 100 billion stars, that is an enormous amount of anything, let alone stars. Stars that are potentially, many of them, like our sun, meaning that they also encompass planetary systems around them. If you manage to picture that immensity in your head, and then you add to that, that we don't even know the shape of our galaxy, we only hope is shape the same way we draw it. Just like 13Th century humans hoped our planet was the shape they were drawing it in. And that we don't even have a picture of our neighbour planetary system. Is easy to comprehend that we simple, just don't know enough to even know in which quartet of space we are located within our galaxy, let alone when we will be in the center of it, if we ever get there. So I appreciate the efforts on the history channel's side to try to pump up their viewership and our egocentric tendencies, but please, don't believe everything you hear, and always check your sources.

I just finished watching the news. One thing truly striked me on todays edition, Canada has a Minister of Foreign Affairs (I knew he existed, but I thought he was just a ghost, a leyend). His name is Lawrence Cannon, he has a lot of family pedigree, which may justifiy him having such a job. Now I know I dont know him, but with his choice of words I arrived to the conclusion of his imcompetence. A day after North Korean lauched a missile that flew right trough a country, Japan, most people in this planet took a stand, either con or not. On the one side the americans and europeans with the nays, on the other, the regular culprits, China and Russia, with the yays. But what does Mister Cannon does, as a representative of Canada, he decides to take the middle road. Yes, he is a bisexual, the quintesential country/men that doesn't have the balls to just pick a side. Apparently this man lives on the assumption that Canada is still "good" in the international eyes. He did not get the memo that we have been in the Afghan war for quite some time, and to our shame both our Prime Minister and Oposition Leader support the war in Iraq, or anywhere that the americans decide to do a war against. So is not enough that we have to carry the stupidity of our leaders, now we have to suffer the stupidity of Ministers too. This man is a shame to Canada and what we stand for: Free medicine, oil sands, and a star on the American flag!

You know what is wrong in this picture? No, is not the obvious Harper absence. No, what is wrong with this picture is that this "people" are the world leaders. Just one look at them and your stomach turns, and you know why we are in this mess. Who do we have:
"Anarchist Cross dresser" Sarkozy
"The one that married into the job" DE Kirchner
"I am a Communist, no sorry a capitalist" De Silva
"I secretly miss Mussolini" Berlusconi
"I get on on beating women" King Abdullah
"I can not handle North Korea" Lee Myung-bak
"I am going to be the richest of them all, once this gig is done" Calderón
"I am a taking a dump" Harper
"I get on on jailing people" Hu Jintao
"Putin knows this scares me and still makes me come" Dimitri
"What did I do wrong to deserve this" Brown
"Stupid Men" Angela Merkel "
I am the smartest, or at least the most likely to get laid tonight" Obama
And some other ones, who are not important, evil, charismatic or relevant enough to mention.
People who are just that, people. Who make too many mistake and are too scare to do the right, toughed things, that the world needs, in order to make it work, because they are all too busy being scared of not getting re-elected. I wonder when we will elect our candidates based on their abilities as humans and as intelligent people, instead of electing based on who runs the best campaign. I wonder when would we, the people, stop being scared of this common humans, and just take a stand for what is right.
