The center of the town of Cee completely flooded. / MCS
Cee inundado Water Pearls

"To be governed, nature must be obeyed" Francis Bacon


rains came and invaded more than simply everything. I see on TV the sorrowful face of people to the floods of recent weeks has left them with nothing and I hear amazed demands of them: "No law, politicians are crooks who do nothing, and we three floods. Something will have to do with the river to get him out of here! " (Countrywoman of Sabarís, dixit).

The phrase had its juice. For one thing very clearly expresses the feeling rooted in the welfare society that everything is resolvable, and that if something bothers us can and must change. Yes, they have to do other, Piove: porco ruled! We

neck with water disposed of our human condition and believe that what happens out there is not going with us, after all, science, technology and politics will come to deliver us from evil. So stupidly blind to not see that precisely the myth of the technical solution to our earthly problems is becoming a more serious problem than led intervention.

We take a joke nature with a child arrogance. We believe we can dominate your rules skipping kindergarten proved scientifically anesthetized with licorice.

can be constructed in natural river beds without regard to its flow. Housing can be multiplied without infrastructure. You can put all the crap out of our well water without waiting for the rivers and seas sneezing and all the smoke in our development without waiting for the air that we choke.

One of the most hear the words from here on out will undoubtedly be the word "waste" which means "what is left." And what is well-being of the whole world is wrapped in plastic, a world of huge mountains of garbage that we all cherish without wanting to know anything about them, not wanting to see or feel, throwing anyone knows where as long as they are not. But look, smell, feel and end up burying us in a kind of planetary Bens landfill while watching cable TV and calculate the final work make sense.

What bothers us the river?: Let him out of there!

This concerns us merdentono welfare, welfare is ours and the shit is politicians. And the politicians will take office and extraordinary budgets and subsidies waged not do nothing but strengthen the social perception that everything is controllable and what is not anyone's fault controlled and must be paid. Valiente irresponsible society we are building together, one for selling and other Arcadias impossible to fall into a comfortable illusion to believe it filling up your waste and soul of grant.

have to be stupid to buy a house by the sea and pretend the sea is not moved from its site. You have to be dumb-ass to throw the water everything imaginable and think that what goes into the limbo of the shit that is not in our world. We

waters.

rare rains, the forests burn, the seas will rise, remain thousands of creatures extinct every day, the sun will burn ... and no one will wonder what is going wrong, no one will lose a second to think he should resign his dollhouse you step on the neck to the River. We will continue to demand political responsibility to continue betting on the arranxosantes daring to put a stop to both delirium and say enough to so boldly disguised welfare, urban planning and development sustainable.

They say that the god Indra was so capricious that decided to cover the entire sky with a huge network. At each point of intersection of wires placed a precious pearl, a pearl so exquisitely polished that it was able to reflect in it all the others, so that if anyone dared to touch one of the pearls, something changed in all others.

There are many people who made necklaces with pearls, others that have been replaced by subdivisions and others who have a poke putting in place Extraperlo crystals. And while we all wonder why being so handsome and so cute with a little flat, the sky has stopped shining and the river has become so silly.

politicians fix it, those who understand development fence, hymns and flags, languages \u200b\u200band time zones, licenses and grants ... anything but pearls. Ignorant

everyone that we are only a pearl in that reflects everything we do. So it goes.

mc2: I Charge to Customers

you today to the House Fish, also called Aquarium in . Is the main attraction of the network mc 2 composed by 3 museums interactive Coruña. The other 2 are the man's house and Science Museum. The 3 are worth worthwhile, especially with children. Combined with the Tower of Hercules, the Paseo Marítimo (- "My tesoooooooro!" - "Shut your mouth up Paco!") And Old Town, every family has Coruña ideal destination for a getaway weekend. Ideal

provided not stop some of the attitudes of the absurd - in theory - in charge of satisfying the tourists to come back: building the bridge and making the case to say that Visa fulfill a promise made a child is priceless, I promised to take my son on Thursday (yesterday) to see Gaston, the new shark of 3 meters and 100 kg that has (been) installed in the Aquarium. And of course trust Visa to pay the 2 annual passes - which do have a price: 20 € for me and 10 for my son - we were to allow free access to any of the 3 museums for a whole year.

It is going to be no. The Aquarium in your name along well Finisterrae : no credit card terminal. Nicest girl (I think Lorena name) apologized immediately - this is unusual - to understand the absurdity of the thing and tells me the nearest ATM is ... next to my house, ie 1 km (checked viamichelin.es) of the museum. Of course (Murphy's Law), it was raining.
Then I light up his eyes to believe have had a great idea (anything that I avoided 2 km in the rain with a 5 year old IS a great idea.) I turn to the souvenir shop next to the counter and asked if he has terminal card to pay the ticket and not have to go for a cashier. Answer: "No". Period. Missed by so forceful (and little kindness), I wonder why. Answer 2: "It is not the same."

Obviously, everyone by now knows that this type of store is often leased, outsourced or under the concession which is not the proper administration of the museum that carries it. But it remains significant but the effort to look like the opposite: t-shirts and polos name of mc 2 , total integration on the premises without logos of any kind of dealer, etc.
In my case the problem was only (*) the commission they would charge the bank for the payment of 30 €. I think it is about 3%, ie € 0.90, an amount that I imagine the museum would have preferred to take before sending to a client - and city - walk 2 km under ULIS with a 5 year old. Well
not even tested this possibility because the clerk at the gift shop merely imitate Alejandro Sanz repeating "It's not the same" each time I opened my mouth.

walked the 2 km, we get wet, and upon payment and send the kid to see the fish, I asked the complaint form on the ground forever, "and we have facilities that we deserve" + "silence gives consent." The surprise jump when (could Lorena?) I replied that as a public body are not required to have complaint forms. Blushing because he knows that while he's telling the truth, the law clearly permits a shame: public services, by definition, should have had more obligations than private users to their customers. Alternatively, offers me a sheet stamped to the Aquarium and then hands me a copy of my complaint. Not without first confirm I'm not the first in the door qauedarme unable to pay by card and have repeatedly asked the council to be equipped with a terminal thereof. There is no doubt that this is a person employed by one party and can not do more than leave him, but then also looking for ways to do everything we can within those limits to treat customers well. Do you remember that time when "the customer was king / sent"?. Quite the opposite of his partner in the shop next door.

And talking about it, when I went to ask the claim form (as a private entity, yes she is obliged to take them), do not guess the answer? "You have to order them on the counter of the museum"
But do not we agree that was not the same?
