The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic - the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.
From Jose Saramago
Death is present every day in our lives. It's not that I take pleasure in the morbid fascination of it, but it is a fact of life.
What kind of world is this that can send machines to Mars and does nothing to stop the killing of a human being?
People live with the illusion that we have a democratic system, but it's only the outward form of one. In reality we live in a plutocracy, a government of the rich.
I think we are blind. Blind people who can see, but do not see.
Human vocabulary is still not capable, and probably never will be, of knowing, recognizing, and communicating everything that can be humanly experienced and felt.
It is difficult to understand these people who democratically take part in elections and a referendum, but are then incapable of democratically accepting the will of the people.
I always ask two questions: How many countries have military bases in the United States? And in how many countries does the United States not have military bases?
In the end we discover the only condition for living is to die.
Americans have discovered the fragility of life, that ominous fragility that the rest of the world either already experienced or is experiencing now with terrible intensity.
