el amor quiere cautivar la conciencia del otro
la evolución y decadencia del hip hop, ritmo novedoso que en tres décadas abandonó parcialmente su impulso inicial contestatario para comercializarse y volverse, con elgangsta rap, un tramposo elogio de la violencia urbana, las drogas, los mass media y la sociedad de consumo.
Una tarea de corporaciones y gobiernos: comercializar los viejos ritmos de la revuelta, la provocación polí- tica de algunos textos raperos, la carga subversiva y el potencial dislocamiento de la moral en turno. Controlar la provocación volviéndola retórica hueca e inofensiva.

La Poliomielitis (Polio). Todos hemos sido vacunados contra este virus. Pero sabemos qué diablos es la Polio? ”Estamos tan acostumbrados a creerle a los expertos o especialistas que ya no pensamos con nuestra propia cabeza”.
Cancer: V40 es un virus que provoca cancer en los monos y hamster.
La mayor parte de los millones de vacunas antipolio producidas entre 1954 y 1963 estaban contaminadas con el virus SV40.
Sida: El origen del mal.
El VIH también es un virus de los monos.
No será que el VIH fue trasmitida a los humanos mediante las vacunas antipolio?

The Ghost - Robert Harris
Adam Lang, a thinly-disguised version of Blair. The fictional counterpart of Cherie Blair is depicted as a sinister manipulator of her husband. So astonishing are the implied allegations of the roman à clef that, had it concerned a lesser figure and were Harris a less eminent novelist, Britain's libel laws may have rendered publication impossible: Harris told The Guardian before publication, "The day this appears a writ might come through the door. But I would doubt it, knowing him." The thriller acquires an added frisson from the fact that Harris was an early and enthusiastic backer of Blair and a donor to New Labour funds.
The New York Observer, headlining its otherwise hostile review The Blair Snitch Project, commented that the book’s "shock-horror revelation" was "so shocking it simply can’t be true, though if it were it would certainly explain pretty much everything about the recent history of Great Britain."

Mad World
Worn out places - worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere - going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression - no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow - no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday - Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen - sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me - no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me - look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very Mad World

MY WAR: KILLING TIME IN IRAQ
"My War by Colby Buzzell is nothing less than the soul of an extremely interesting human being at war on our behalf in Iraq." - Kurt Vonnegut
"Endlessly surprising…delightfully profane… an unfiltered, often ferocious expression of his boots-on-the-ground point-of-view of the Iraq war." - Arianna Huffington
"If, in 20 years time, people want to know what it was like to fight in Iraq, they can pick up ‘My War’ and find out. It tells what it's like to be a grunt fighting in the Sunni Triangle – with more power and authority than the best ‘embedded reporter’ could manage. It is something of a triumph for blogs over traditional media." - Nick Cohen
"My War is breathtaking. His self-awareness is total and unromantic, his instinct for what matters unrelenting, his writing lyrical, heartbreaking, hilarious, and essential. We can read a thousand dispatches from Iraq, but we will never know the war-or ourselves-like we will after reading My War." -Robert Kurson, author of Shadow Divers
"Incredible accounts of combat from a grunt's-eye-view." -Rolling Stone Magazine
"The most extraordinary writing yet produced by a soldier of the Iraq war" -Esquire Magazine
"My War is perhaps the finest and most genuine writing to come so far out of the war in Iraq, uncompromising in both its criticism and its praise, willing to admit the ugliness of violence and the exhilaration that it breeds."
-War, Literature & the Arts Journal
"Buzzell's account of military life as a grunt in Mosul, My War: Killing Time In Iraq, is like no war diary written before. Blunt, brutal, foul-mouthed, and immediate. -The Times UK
"In gutsy, sometimes profane prose, he takes you on a soldier's-eye view of the front lines of the war." -Newsweek
"Remarkably blunt, honest and often hilarious." -Chicago Sun-Times
"Striking....Buzzell tells the story of his year in Iraq with a steeliness that's both sincere and chilling." -People Magazine
"Profound, profane....told with irresistible gallows humor and anger devoid of self-consciousness. Give[s] us a much deeper understanding of the war." -Atlanta Journal Constitution
"My War" is the story of a young grunt trying to survive boredom and death in a war zone...What you soon realize about this stranger at the bar, Colby Buzzell, is that he can knock you off your barstool at a moment's notice with soul-jarring observations and darkly comedic insights into what it really means to be fighting and idling in this war." -L.A. Times Magazine
"Funny, often surreal "What the @!%# am I doing here?" account of military life...(Grade: A-)" -Entertainment Weekly
"Buzzell’s My War, written in a style reminiscent of Hunter S. Thompson and Allen Ginsberg, is fueled by an antiauthority, punk-rock attitude.” -Poets and Writers magazine
"Military recruiters won't be handing My War to prospective soldiers, who would do well to read one grunt's account of what they could be getting into." -USA Today
“Several other books have come out during the war… What makes "My War" stand out is the author. The way in which a punk-rock skateboarder navigated the Army gives him a compelling voice and take on the Iraq war.”
-Denver Post
"My War: Killing Time in Iraq... the most charming and funny of the memoirists" -New York Magazine
“The war in Iraq may be far from over, but it has already produced a small crop of books by soldiers who fought in it… Colby Buzzell is perhaps the best storyteller, and without a doubt the funniest.” -BBC News
“My War is all about immediacy, and it's an invaluable reference to the current war”
-Seattle Weekly
"Sensational book... Buzzell is in the habit of telling it like it is, a skill he uses to great effect in this tragi-comic account of 'Joe' (Infantrymen) life in Iraq... In My War, he records his experiences with a mixture of irreverence and awe, like a latter day Holden Caufield who suddenly finds himself behind enemey lines" -The Big Issue (U.K.)
“Provid[es] more truth than CNN or the army could or would." -Library Journal
"Captivating memoir about the year [Buzzell] spent serving as an army ‘trigger puller’ in Iraq….though the combat scenes are exciting, this book is actually more engrossing as a portrait of the day-to-day life of a young American soldier." -Publishers Weekly
"Reminiscent of Michael Herr’s Dispatches." -Wall Street Journal
"[A] book that stands quite tall in the literature of that conflict to date." -Booklist
“This is a book you NEED to read." -AMP Magazine
“A brilliant read." -Business Standard
"Gripping memoir... My War proves that the best blogs really can become the best books." E! online
