A smartphone is worth more than a life
« on: July 26, 2019, 07:49:51 am »
To the readers of this blog:

Please watch this short video when a young man brutally attacks a 12-year old girl when she was going to school very earling the morning yesterday. This is nothing new. It may happen to me some day.

The title in Diario Extra.com.py says

De terror: extraño golpeó brutalmente a alumna.

If I am honest, I can't watch videos like this Raul. I am not desensitized to violence of this kind. Violence of another type though - the endless droning of machines and automobiles, verbal conflict between hairless apes, the population numbers increasing, the endless stream of entertainment - these I know all too well.

Take care of yourself.

Silenus,

Thank you for your words, Silenus. I also exercise violence towards my fellow human beings. What can I say? It is part of our nature. There are some people I would like to see dead. I look at them the way I see  the toilet before flushing it. I admit there are many who will laugh at my own suffering and death. Again that is life. And life is a “gift”.

We deny that we exercise violence when we ignore that in order to use these cellphones in the Congo young miners
have to work between 12 and 14 hours every day to get the coltan and they make 2 or 3 euros.

Ibra´s link about mining gold in Ghana reminds me of Paraguayan miners in the department of Guairá who also work to get the gold which in turn is being taken by a Canadian company. They get crumbs just to feed the thirst and greed of the so-called civilization.

I agree with you when you say about “Violence of another type though - the endless droning of machines and automobiles, verbal conflict between hairless apes, the population numbers increasing, the endless stream of entertainment - these I know all too well.”

Yes, here the endless pollution and noise of cars and buses are extremely nauseating. In order to breathe some fresh air you have to go very deep in the countryside. But even there the so-called progress will get there.

Take care of yourself.

That was a very difficult thing to watch, Raul.  Like our Brother Silenus, I am not desensitized to that kind of violence.  It horrifies me!   I could not watch much of it before turning it off.   

I agree with Silenus wholeheartedly.   I want the cell towers taken down as soon as possible by whatever means necessary!  We need to protect ourselves from this maddening technology!

How have we all been so patient and long-suffering?
