el 17-Feb-2007 | I feel somewhat compelled to actually say something about the latest, hottest news. Ot just latest, because, truth be told, they're not hot, they're about as boring as they can possibly get.
But I enjoy it, somehow. I've gotten boring with the years. And I'm only 20, just imagine what'll happen when I'm 30. Jesus fucking Christ.
Anyway.
I've been off the blog since yesterday, and thus I only remember so much of what I've read between yesterday morning and earlier today, but there's a couple of articles that stuck with me.
One of them was the beautiful display of stubborness by the Japanese, regarding their stupid whaling boat that caught fire and got stranded like 100mts from the world's largest Adelie Penguin colony, and now they just won't remove it.
Despite all the grudges between Japan and every animal lover in the planet about the merciless, pointless whaling issue, they have said it has nothing to do with activists; instead the fire broke out one fine morning on board for no apparent reason, just before daybreak. The state of the engines remains unknown as I write this (or at least the sources have no idea either), so it is uncertain if the boat will be able to sail again.
Because of this reason, New Zealand developed this smart plan that consisted on getting a Greenpeace ship to tow it away, out of fear that it might leak oil into the Ross Sea and endanger said penguins. Japan's answer was something along the lines of "we not be taking help from no Greenpeace pirates", arguing that so far there was no reason to believe there'd be any leakage (maybe they think the oil will be burnt with the fire), and that in the event that the ship needed help sailing, there was a japanese tanker nearby to aid it.
Now, I may sound like I think the Japanese are stupid. I don't, really. I just happen to think they're behaving like idiots regarding this issue. It's not precisely the best time in the world to stick their tongues out at the Greenpeace meanies that call them names only because they slaughter whales. Hell, if they must make it political, at least they could see at it as a way of looking mature and caring in front of the rest of the world. Like, "hey, we do kill whales and enjoy it, but it's just the whales, we have nothing against little cuddly penguins!"
We're gonna have to see how this evolves. Hopefully as we speak someone is towing the damn boat out of Antarctica.
There's happier news somewhere... north of the sad, next-to-be-glued-together penguins, where a Chinese woman who has been on house arrest for revealing some sort of blood counterfeit that infected a bunch of people with AIDS was allowed to receive an award in the United States. Apparently, the chinese police has been more than just bored with their time, so during the 90s they had a business that revolved around blood traffic. Whatever happened to drugs and prostitutes, now they go straight to the pain of giving a disease without the fun ride...
Anyway, this woman, Dr Gao Yaojie, was at first allowed by the government to draw attention to the illegal blood business, but as they got more and more annoyed by her righteousness, they started tightening a methaphorical knot around her neck, starting by denying her permission to go abroad to receive awards for her activism, and finally ended on house arrest to control the apparently very dangerous 80-year-old woman. However, they appear to have changed their minds about arresting an elderly lady for speaking the truth about the corrupt actions of their officials, as they let her accept a prize she's been awarded.
Last but not least, I want to send a big hug to everyone in Bangladesh, for saying what we all, as common citizens, need to say: we don't care about your stupid political bickering if you're only going to fuck us up in the end anyways. Do something for a change.
Bangladesh is full of stories of the difficulty of having a decent living, not only because of the extreme poverty in which half its population lives, but because of the increasing corruption from public offices and authorities.
It kind of is like that everywhere else, but in Bangladesh and other extremely poor countries it becomes more of a drag when you have to make money to live and for the bribes, because everyone wants to make money out of everyone, at every cost.
This is what makes politics such a beautiful art. It's all about luring people into believing that you'll change their lives, and then slapping them in the face and yelling "psych!", and then bursting into dance. I'm thinking maybe Tunak Tunak.
