The State or the parents ?<br /><br />It's like educating by RULES. It's like putting rules whenever we lost the value of things.<br />The Law is becoming the bible. Our new values are in there.<br />Little problem : Values have always been abstract non written things. Something the society itself created.<br />Here it's artificial, written up. Who is gonna respect a rule that a big amount of the population don't agree with?<br /><br />This also applies to the anti-smoking stuff going on.<br /><br />Can't people speak together as "adult" instead of trying to pass a law?<br />Since when should law precede the value instead of following them ?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36793496-116430944329938119?l=rationaldreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04834561206586299996noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36793496.post-1163371426356822362006-11-12T19:12:00.000+01:002006-11-22T13:09:49.280+01:00You see, next year is french elections for the president. So every wanna be candidate of each party is trying to improve their image and get a maximum of people voting for them.<br /><br />You got the extreme left, nice people, but you don't hear them. Or at least the manipulated media do not give them any chance. They are cut out. And after you think that they nearly never had trouble with financial scandals etc...<br />Cool: you wanna be elected? be rich to get promotion<br /><br />Then you got the regular left.<br />Nice, for once there is a woman.<br />Thing is, I was 2 week in France, I heard lot about her but... You never hear her speaking directly, each of her speech is always "reported" (except if you got a special paying television program, which is stupid for a country said to be "democratic").<br />Ah, yes, there are also two guys fighting to get her place as the left candidate...<br />Strangely enough, the only thing we hear about them is the fact that they don't like what the woman is suggesting.<br />And off course a video putting her in a baaad position is now out on the internet...<br /><br />Then you got the center, who doesn't make noise.<br />It's white noise sometimes. And then you afterward you already forgot what they said<br /><br />Then you got the right.<br />You got the "big" guy (who is small), with already pretty high responsabilities, a quite securitarian plan, but who changes direction every month. He is here to please people.<br />Demagogy at the top.<br />But then again, he got trouble inside his own group, which is not a surprise as this is the liberal side... at least they respect their positions...<br /><br />And then the right wing...<br />They shoot everything who is moving on the political scene to improve their own image, and as well suggest a radical program based on "revolution" (I doubt it's the same as the extrem left one :p)... it could please a lot of people and might get an electorate but... their representants are always the best at making remarks that are not really demagogic at all.<br /><br />I didn't say any name or political party name because it's is not a political post in itself. At least not for the election itself.<br />It's just to highlight the stupidities of all these political stuff :<br />They don't mind about being right, but only of being elected... by any mean.<br /><br />One could say "we got to do with it and use our right to vote in order to improve"...<br />This is right of course, but honestly, I think than when you want to lead a country, you should be clean and honest... Then again, Machiavelli put it very well when he explained that politic is nearly always achieved through dirty ways.<br /><br />Then I ask you the question : what the hell could we actually do ?<br /><br />Post Scriptum: I will not advise any political choice in here, as this is a personal choice. I want you to respect my choice and don't start arguing about pure political...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36793496-116337142635682236?l=rationaldreams.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Julienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04834561206586299996noreply@blogger.com0
