Nueva Mayoría, con el alma en la derecha

Aquello que se ofreció, prometió y comprometió ya ha sido abandonado como un trapo viejo que cumplió con su temporada útil: la campaña electoral.
Y lo que resta ahora es una retahíla de explicaciones intentando encubrir las mentiras de siempre, adoptando para el efecto otros nombres menos gravosos: gradualidad, mesura, reforma, responsabilidad.
Y, peor aún, quedaron con sus discursos pendiendo de sus labios aquellos que recitaron las preces de lo nuevo que era todo y de cómo las cosas ya…

In what has been arguably the most crowded week of the summer, you better pick your lane and stick to it.
Until the recent, full-moon inspired ultra lows create some new real estate to spread out.
Bonus Shot: Royal Tern, This Is How They Do It. The Island is full of Royal Tern right now. Unlike our more abundant Common Tern, Royal Terns are larger with goofy clown-like faces. Listen for their high pitch shrieks as they hunt the shoreline.

Still from “Dead Poet’s Society, starring Robin Williams
Some people think it’s silly to be moved or upset or report that a celebrity has died. After all, thousands of people die each day and no one takes notice. The way I see it, people like Robin Williams, have mastered a very particular art form and as a result, have often helped us see life from new perspectives. Their work has helped us through difficult times, moved us to be better people, made us laugh, and been influences to who we choose to be each day. Did “Popeye” change the world? Perhaps not.

Imagine you’re in an 18th century French salon, surrounded by intellectuals and elites discussing and debating ideas that are today known as the legacy of the Enlightenment. Not only the dress and behavior, but the very conversation will be dictated by convention. You may feel intense nervousness and pressure to speak up, worried about speaking with unrefined language or treading on a taboo topic. In the event you do say something, you know your reputation will be determined by the thoughts you share with them, and how you share them. Now imagine that every time you stand up, you say, “Now, I’m going to say some things to you, but just because I’m sharing them with you does NOT mean I endorse them!” Would this assuage your fear for your reputation among the public? Would this have any effect on how your listeners will judge you? Would this protect you from judgement…
