many ago days did not pass by to leave some words. Since Mom fell and broke his little arm I have no time for almost anything ... and the truth is that I miss him a lot. During these weeks I've been constantly in tension have not paid much attention to what happens in the world. From the little news that I have listened carefully I have come to think, THAT EVIL IS THE WORLD THAT BAD POLITICIANS DOING, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG ...
One day talking to Dad about how bad it looks all ... I remembered this wonderful speech he dropped Cantinflas (one of my favorite comic) in his film EXCELLENCE (1967). A hypothetical assembly of nations (To the UN) in a hard time on planet earth ... A speech simple words but direct to the brain and heart. A speech grating between scolding and pray for sanity.
makes me think of the situation in Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, the two Koreas, Congo, the former Soviet Republics, Cuba, Colombia, Somalia, Chechnya, etc. .... There are too many conflicts at this time to list them all. And do think about the true intentions in the foreign policy of the great "powers" ...
I've heard several times over the years and continues to amaze me the term hereof. Another
Cantinflas'll talk about ... but now the little speech but also transcribe I put the links to enjoy it.
Take a few minutes but really worth ... Is to enjoy it but also to ponder ...

Cantinflas in "His Excellency", Mexico, 1967
I have had in lucky to be the last speaker, which I am very happy because, as they say, and got a hold of me tired. However, I know that despite the insignificance of my country with no military might or political, or economic or much less atomic, you all look forward to my words because my vote depends on the success of the Greens or the Colorados.
distinguished representatives are going through a crucial time when humanity is faced with the same humanity. We are living a historic moment in which the scientific man is a giant intellectually, but morally it is a pygmy. World opinion is so deeply divided into two seemingly irreconcilable sides, and given the singular case, which is in just one vote. The vote of a weak and small scale can make the charge on one side or uploaded from elsewhere. We are, as it were, to a large scale: a plaque occupied by the Greens and other dish occupied by the Colorados. And now I come I, a featherweight as they say, and according to where I put that side will balance. Do me a favor! ... Do not you think that is very responsible for a single citizen? Just do not think that half of humanity, whatever it may be, is condemned to live under a political and economic system that is not to your liking, just because a frivolous ambassador has voted, or that they did vote in one way or in another.
who speaks, his friend ... I ... not vote for either side (voices of protest.) And I will not vote for either side because of three reasons: first, because again it would be unfair that the only vote of a representative, that maybe you have liver disease, decides the fate of a hundred nations, and second, I am convinced that the procedures, again, I emphasize the procedures Colorados are disastrous (voices of protest from the Reds), and Three! ... procedures because the Greens are not the kindest thing to say (now protesting the Greens). And if you do not shut and I do not follow, and they will be left with the feeling of knowing what he had to say.
insist that talk about procedures and not of ideas or doctrines. For me, all ideas are respected, even if "ideational" or "ideotas" but disagrees with them. I think this man, or that another man, or this gentleman (pointing), or that of a mustache than he does not think anything because we slept, that does not stop us all become very close friends. We all believe that our way of life, our lifestyle, our way of thinking and even our modito of walking are the best, and vest it tried to impose on others and if we do not accept that they're such and a and after a while we walk them at loggerheads. Do you think that's OK? So easy that would be the existence if only respetásemos the lifestyle of each person. One hundred years ago and said one of the most humble but larger of our continent: "Respect for the rights of others is peace" (applause). So I like ... I do not applaud, but to recognize the sincerity of my words.
I agree with everything said by the representative of Salchichonia (a reference to Germany) with humility, humbleness of non-union construction workers must strive to tear down the fence that separates us, the wall of incomprehension, the wall of mutual distrust, the wall of hatred, the day we make it we can say that we fly the wall (laughs). But the wall of ideas, so no, never!, The day we think alike and act as stop being men to become machines, automatons.
This is a grave error de los Colorados, wanting to impose by force their ideas and political and economic system, they speak of human freedom, but I ask: are these freedoms in their own countries? Claim to defend the rights of the proletariat but the workers themselves do not even have the basic right of the strike, talk of universal culture available to the masses but its writers imprisoned because they dare to tell the truth, speak of self-determination people for years yet they oppress a number of nations without allowing them to be given the form of government that suits them. How can we vote for a system that speaks of dignity and immediately hit by the most sacred of human dignity is freedom of conscience eliminating or pretending to eliminate God decree? No, gentlemen, I can not be with the Reds, or rather with the way they act, respect their way of thinking, let them, but I can not give my vote so that your system is implanted by force in all countries land (voices of protest.) Whoever wants to be Colorado it is, but do not intend to dye it to others! "The colors are lifted out of the Assembly. A moment
young!, But why so sensitive? But if you can not hold anything no, but I have not finished, take your seats. I know it is customary to leave these meetings you hear about something that is not to your liking, but I have not finished, take a seat, not precipitous ... I have yet to say something about the Greens, do not you want to hear it? Sit (go and drink water and gargle, but realizes that it is vodka).
And now, ladies and gentlemen Verdes, what do you say?: "I voted for us", is not it, then no, young and not vote for you because you have too much blame for what happens in the world , you are also half proud, as if the world were you and others have very relative, and although they speak of peace, democracy and wonderful things, sometimes try to impose their will by force, by force of money. I agree with you that we must fight for the collective good and individual, in combating poverty and solve the tremendous problems of housing, clothing and sustenance. But what I disagree with you is the way you try to solve these problems, you too have succumbed to materialism, they have forgotten the most beautiful spiritual values \u200b\u200bin business thinking only gradually have been becoming creditors of mankind and humanity that sees them with suspicion.
The opening day of the Assembly, the Ambassador of Dolaronia (referring to USA) said that the remedy for all our ills was to have cars, refrigerators, television sets, ju ... and I wonder: why do we need cars if we are walking barefoot?, why we do not have food coolers if you put in them?, why do we need tanks and weapons if we have enough schools for our children? (Applause).
We must strive for man to think of peace, but not only driven by their instinct of conservation, but mainly because the duty has to overcome and make the world an abode of peace and tranquility ever more worthy of the human species and its high destiny. But this aspiration is not possible if there is plenty for all, welfare, collective happiness and social justice. It is true that is in your hands, powerful country on earth, green and red!, The help us weak, but not gifts or loans, or military alliances.
Help us pay a fair price, more equitable for our raw materials, help us share with us their remarkable advances in science, technology ... but not to make bombs but to end hunger and poverty (Applause). Help us respect our customs, our dignity as human beings and our personality as small and weak nations that we, practice tolerance and true brotherhood, that we know apply, but stop already treat us like pawns on the chess board international politics. Reconózcannos as we are, not only as customers or as laboratory mice, but as human beings we feel, we suffer, we cried.
gentlemen, there is another reason why I can not give my vote, exactly twenty-four hours ago I tendered my resignation as ambassador of my country, I hope I will be accepted. Consequently I have not spoken to you as excellence but as a simple citizen, as a free man, as an ordinary man but, nevertheless, create play the most yearning of all men on earth, the longing to live in peace, yearning to be free, the longing to bequeath to our children and our children's children a better world in which good will prevail and harmony. How easy it would be, gentlemen, to achieve a better world in which all white men, black, yellow and brown, rich and poor could live as brothers. If we were not so blind, so stubborn, so proud, if only rigiéramos our lives sublime words two thousand years ago said the humble carpenter from Galilee, simple, barefoot, with no coat or awards: "Love ... Love one another ", but unfortunately you misunderstood, confused the terms," \u200b\u200band what have they done?, what do they do? "Arm against each other"
I said .. .
