Café Babel

Café Babel - European current affairs magazine is an online Café in the most mediterranean Europe sense of it: a meeting place where all sorts of people discusse current affairs that influence our lives as Europeans and citizens of the world. Different points of view are approached in a clear, unbiased way. Take a look , add your bit to the conversation :-) It's, afteral, "conversa de café". ;-)

BTW, in the March issue there is an interesting article on our much discussed Software Patenting. Maybe it will help clarify a few points (even political ones) we the regular net-surfer-home-computer-user may not be aware of, and alerting to several other political trends we are slowly being confronted with.

Live and let "leave".... :-P

James Bond knew it all B-)

Live and Let Die
Performed by Paul McCartney and Wings
Music and Lyrics by Paul and Linda McCartney

"When you were young and your heart
was an open book,
You used to say live and let live.
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did.)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in,
Makes you give in and cry...
Say live and let die.
(Live and let die.)
Live and let die.
(Live and let die.)

What does it matter to you?
When you got a job to do you gotta do it well.
You've got to give the other fella hell.

You used to say live and let live.
(You know you did, you know
you did, you know you did.)
But if this ever changing world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry,
Say live and let die.
(Live and let die.)
Live and let die.
(Live and let die.) "

Women's Day - Because it's still necessary to remember women's rights

Friends,

Today is Women's Day.

Apart from the praise women may be granted for all that is in their nature to do, this is still a day to remember that in the start of the XXI Century A.C. (Human kind has been around a great deal longer), there is still the need to recognise and grant women the rights that are due to any human being. The right to freedom of opinion, the right to vote, the right to equal healthcare, the right to equal pay for equal work .

It's appaling that police charges on women's right protesters such as the one last sunday in Istanbul still happen, that 1 out of every 4 women in Europe are still victims of domestic violence, violence against women rages on .

But also let us not forget about our duties as women. Women with the rights (like the right to vote) that don't exercise them, women that adopt "equality" as an excuse to adopt laxist attitudes towards life.

Let us not forget the great women in History that made progress in Science, Politics and Human Rights, surpassing huge obstacles and making way to future progress.

Here's a bit of history about the day.

Today is one of those days...

... When it absolutely feels like doing nothing. You look at the pile of
work in front of you, getting bigger and bigger by the second and you just
freeze. Watching the sun outside and feeling hard to breathe.

I can't wait to get out of here today, finding excuses to surf the web in
search of peace of mind, hoping the clock goes faster. So I'm e-mailing to
the blog with a stern look on my face, pretending to the people around I'm
writing a very serious e-mail >;-) Oh C'mon, you never did that yourself?!
;-)

But time arrives, an harrand calls me outside :-) Yuppi!! :-)

Goodnight.
