Sometimes I am terrified the country. I'm not talking dead minimum is always in the headlines, and boatloads of dollars to fill the drug. No talk of scandals daily close ties between Congress and the paramilitaries or the hundreds of pieces of bodies dug up daily, the result of the confessions of his thugs. No. That's what I'm used to. I say this with the cynicism of those who have grown up surrounded by dead. I think violence is worse than that, and that is what scares me: the violence of the "Colombian well, which has the face of intolerance, rayante in dementia, who live in this society unworkable, which was divided into friends and enemies, good and bad. And our enemies have to silence them.
I will not get to talk about the government or from re-elections, or rulers of a people hysterical, in a kind of collective seizure, has no doubt that change of leader is blind leap into the abyss. I speak of intolerance and intransigence that we live in day to day, where he lost perhaps the most valuable right of a free nation: the right to express and opinion, and especially the right to dissent. Today
can not be disagree with the majority, or government, or policies that have the applause of the masses, because the signs are a terrorist, guerrilla, left, "enemy of peace and democracy." Murderer. And do not exaggerate. Every time I have participated in spaces where someone dares to say anything against it, are questions such as what is, that you liked the country when you could not even travel on the road? Or whether you prefer the goal Chavism Colombia? Or whether you want this to be taken as drug trafficking and guerrilla? ... But who said that? Who has named Chavez? Who wants a country in the hands of the guerrillas? And the hands are shaken and the voice rises and nobody listens. Nobody listens. Is anyone listening. He wakes up inside a beast ready to devour anything that smells to be against. It is a friend or an enemy. No gray.
I saw him beating the nomination to Nobel Peace Prize Piedad Cordoba, a leftist senator, with the purpose that it has brokered with the FARC for the release of hostages, and they like it or not, has been . "Black", "murderer", "information about the drug," "terrorist," "national shame" were just some adjectives pale granted the candidate.
The senior officers of the Armed Forces, moral guardians of the national, joined in a cover letter, sore, pointed with his index finger to a former general who did not condemn this nomination: " ... we do not see the shortsightedness of our General Gunner (...) to underwrite Piedad Cordoba as Nobel Peace Prize, when he should have legal moves lead the syndicate as a champion of the Farcpolítica and promoter of the war in our country, not to mention the main halo to be hovering at the temples, that of being responsible for the crime of "treason." Finally saying the Nobel prize is a historically manipulated by leftist organizations and nominated Senator "... what he does in his political journey is to ingratiate himself with enemies of the country as the FARC, who see it as a spokeswoman and applauding communist regimes like Chavez open enemy of Colombia. "
L you forums Weather, the major newspaper in the country, are nothing more than a cesspool of rants, threats, insults, abuse one another, those of agreement and those without. A war of words to death by telling the other he is an enemy for thinking differently. Piensa distinto= usted es mi enemigo.
El miedo a hablar es tanto, que ni siquiera en las reuniones familiares, de amigos, de colegas, se puede opinar diferente, porque vienen las paradas de la mesa, los manotazos y el abandono del lugar. Lo he visto muchas veces, y en muchos lugares.
Tengo miedo de hablar. Tengo miedo de opinar. Tengo miedo de pensar distinto. No quiero que me digan guerrillera, ni terrorista, ni enemiga de nada. Porque no lo soy, y estoy bien lejos de serlo. Solo quiero ejercer mi legítimo derecho a criticar, a pensar, a veces a favor, a veces en contra, a veces un poco ambos.
Hace poco leí la carta que Juan Pablo Escobar, hijo de Pablo Escobar, les escribió the children of Luis Carlos Galan and Rodrigo Lara, orphans of the bloody hand of Capo de Capos. Sebastián Marroquín, (the new identity of the son of Escobar), apologized on behalf of his father for the murder of these martyrs, symbolizing the infamy of one of the bloodiest eras long bloody history of Colombia. And he said: "Will we be able to transform our beloved country to our attitude? I bet you did, and I bet that the only way is to accept the other as a legitimate other, although this is of the opinion contrary to my ideas, but about having the ability to converse, to dialogue, because only then we can design future scenarios to promote real change. "
Talk. Opinion. Dissent. Respect. Without it, no story will change.
's see if we are ticking time bomb exploded.
