Winners with the crisis and Other Stuff

Winners with the crisis in the corner The shop carries a week with a security guard. My bank branch, too. In other words, security companies are among the beneficiaries of the current economic situation. It predicted a year ago the president of Banesto, Ana Patricia Botin, "The crisis offers new business opportunities?. And therefore, labor lawyers, pawn shops, fast food restaurants are putting the boots .... Are created every day new debt collection companies and some have rented an entire floor of offices. The crisis, therefore, is changing our habits. Come, says Professor James Child, to "more efficient new sectors such as biotechnology, logistics or what I call the world R: repair, reuse, recycling, ...? That is, that become classics in front repair shops to buy and throw away culture. It seems, then, comes the end of a certain kind of bloated consumer society. Finally. Iran, the price of modernity When the Shah Reza Pahlavi was overthrown in 1979, Iran was a country of impoverished rural masses and bigoted and educated urban elite and well prepared.

Ayatollah Khomeini settled any vestige of modernization and sparked the first exile of intellectuals and professionals. Just two years after his allies also eliminated the secular left, the president Banisadr custom, and forced to emigrate to their survivors.

It was in that country, once mighty and back to fundamentalism, which dared to attack Saddam Hussein, in a bloody war of eight years. The hard lesson forced the Shiite clerics in Iran to put up technologically but, yes, without losing the essence of Islam. That is, what it claims Ahmadinejad with his bomb. Young people grow up in the lee of the modernization process, recovered the civic tradition of the ancient Persians in a new world of mobile telephony, satellite dishes and computers, now show the internal contradictions of an ancient theocratic regime in which Musavi, Khatami, Rafsanjani , ... are not naive revolutionary but pragmatic conservatives who know that their world is changing, as happened in Spain the most lucid when she disappeared Franco the dictator. Unlike the Spain of that time, Iran is in the midst of a global conflict that goes beyond the daring and well-intentioned protesters in Tehran. Less expensive than aromatic park Port Aventura, Terra Mitica and other theme parks is that they occurred in Torrevieja: an aromatic. Rather than engage in chilling attractions, visitors only have to smell the thyme, lavender, rosemary, basil and orange blossom.

More comfortable, yes, but probably also more boring. Years ago, books were invented perfume. And they failed. Then came the idea of ​​movies fragrant. Another fiasco, because people that interested him was the argument, not the odor of the armpit of the protagonist. So do not predict a great future to the park in question. The most likely only come to him seeking to predators flower pots renovate your home and other urban vandals as well paint a statue to destroy a flower. Given, then, our human condition, maintaining an imaginative and ecological project like this to the worst ends up being more expensive than a nuclear plant up there. And I say it is established that non-set comparison.
