This happens in Mexico City

Three activists were arrested just because they were handing out flyers about 25 innocent feral dogs captured by the government that supposedly killed 4 persons (http://www.ohmidog.com/2013/01/14/tests-have-yet-to-incriminate-mexico-city-street-dogs-in-suspected-maulings-at-park/).

The same weekend 22 people were killed by organised crime and still there are no suspects, except for the vague entity "organised crime" (http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/regions/americas/mexico/130115/dozens-killed-wave-violence-mexico).

Days before, several people were demonstrating against the new Mexican president. Around 100 people were arrested that day and until December 28th all of them were released:

"Authorities held the 14 for nearly a month on vague charges of “attacks against the public peace.” The charges carry sentences of up to 30 years in prison and contain ambiguous language that defense attorneys say can allow the government to prosecute dissent as terrorism. While the Inauguration Day protests did result in some property damage, no evidence directly linking those detained to the actual crimes has been made public by the Mexico City government" http://southnotes.org/2012/12/28/remaining-14-inauguration-day-detainees-released/

In the meantime, religious organizations (read Catholics), are pushing the government to change the law so they can profess freely in public, surprisingly the government heard them and tried to change the law assuming and claiming that in the constitution:

"ha quedado prohibido el llamado culto externo. Esta limitación contrasta con el derecho de manifestación con cualquier objeto lícito, que la Constitución concede en el artículo 9o., con la única prevención de que sólo los mexicanos podrán hacerlo para tomar parte en los asuntos políticos del país y siempre sin armas."

TRANSLATION
"has been forbidden the so-called external cult. This limitation contrasts with the right of demonstration with any licit purpose, that the Constitution
grants in the article 9th., assuming that only Mexicans can do it if it is related to the political business of the country and always without weapons"
REF: [in spanish] http://cronica.diputados.gob.mx/Iniciativas/54/194.html

LESSONS:
1. IN MEXICO WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT FERAL DOGS AND WE CANNOT HAND OUT FLYERS ABOUT THEM. EVEN WORST, TRYING TO PROTECT THEM
2. WE NEED TO ACCEPT THAT AN UNKNOWN ENTITY CALLED "ORGANISED CRIME" IS ALWAYS LURKING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, EVEN IF THERE ARE NO ARRESTS WE NEED TO TRUST IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND ITS EFFORTS TO PROTECT US AGAINS IT
3. RELIGIOUS PEOPLE CAN DEMONSTRATE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE AND GOVERNMENT WILL TRY TO PROTECT THEM, IF POSSIBLE CHANGING THE LAW
4. POLITICAL DEMONSTRATORS, SPECIALLY AGAINST THE RULLING PARTY, WILL BE PROSECUTED.

  1. Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to
    manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Also visit my homepage ; read the source

  2. Normally they use WYSIWYG editors but you can also use code to develop a more customized blog.

Project Hail Mary, or: Saving Private Hollywood?

The WEIRD Hollywood society launched a Hail Mary movie into the dead zone of its current crisis, turning a popular hard Sci-Fi book into a never-ending collection of comic relief reels totalling 2.5 hours. And it did not exactly stick the landing. It started innocently enough. When I read the interview Perri Thaler, from Science , did with Wendy Freedman, an astronomer at the University of Chicago, I became genuinely interested in the Project Hail Mary movie. The science sounded fascinating — the kind of premise that makes you feel slightly smarter just for knowing about it. I had not been in a movie theater in a while, and when I started spotting the posters at bus stops and some colleagues mentioned they wanted to go, I joined them. What followed was completely unexpected. But before I get to that, let me dwell for a moment on the title — because, as it turns out, it is something of a foreshadowing. The term "Hail Mary" has two primary meanings: it is a traditional ...

Un pequeño relato de hace algunos años, tal vez demasiados

 Domingo APRH Una agradable sensación festiva ocupa el lugar de la habitual angustia dominical. Mañana no habrá clases, pero igual iremos al convivio de la escuela, comeremos dulces y jugaremos a espantar a las niñas. El mercado está inundado en flores amarillas y calaveritas de azúcar. Puedo ver en las caras de otros niños la misma felicidad que siento yo. Hoy es de esos domingos que no saben a domingo.                          Me gusta el humor que tiene mamá; creo que se levantó de buenas. Casi siempre está ocupada o cansada, pero hoy no, hoy es un buen domingo. —Mamá, ¿me compras una calaverita de azúcar? —¿Qué haremos si no encuentro más barata la flor? Ni pensar en ir al otro mercado, tu abuela nos mata si llegamos tarde. —Oye, ma... ¿me compras una calaverita? —Ni modo, tendremos que pagar este precio de robo. Ten, Luis, para tu calaverita. —¿Puedo llevarle una a mi hermano? —Sí. Justo...

Los ahuejotes son como huauzontles gigantes

Introducción Se me ocurrió hacer una pequeña reseña sobre palabras como ahuautle, ahuehuete, ahuejote o huautli .  Esta reseña se las prometí desde el 3 de febrero y aquí va, chiquita, pero va. Ojo, mi lengua materna es español y esta reseña etimológica es relativa al Nahuatl «clásico», es decir, un idioma que como tal ya no se habla y sólo podemos encontrar en fuentes históricas del siglo XVI. Por diferentes circunstancias sociales, lingüísticas y pragmáticas para referirse a acciones, animales, objetos, entre otras cosas que no tenían símil en español, un montón de esas palabras «clásicas» se convirtieron en extranjerismos del español llamados nahuatlismos, y si bien en el Nahuatl contemporáneo, vivito y coleando, algunas de estas palabras son sinónimas o se parecen, siguen existiendo o se usan en su versión españolizada (e.g. ahuejote). No debemos olvidar que algunos significados han cambiado y por tanto algunas raíces etimológicas para un hablante de Nahuatl podrían resultar ...
