anti Bicentennial. Windows 7

Chile is on the bicentennial .... Chile is the anniversary ....

Or so it sounds in commercials, on radio, a little music ridiculous, 80's, winner with a voice and a chorus that reminds you that you have heard good music but this is murder.

What happens?

Oh yeah, speaking of the bicentennial .... hmmm ... because we are in September and September because things are supposed to spend "special" and blablablblablablablala etc. On 11 September, and the famous bicentennial in that we are an independent country.

FAIL.
FAIL INDEED.
This is NOT the bicentennial, and we are far from it. I will not make this post a history lesson, because they will be 12.30 and I think I should sleep, but first I need to download all this, I know nobody think of that and begins to autoopinarme myself this, but ... fen.

September 18 is supposed to fulfill "200 years of independence, all celebrate, television is filled with white, blue and red, all cook until you get your ears bleed, everyone wants to eat out and take-well, when no-one speaks of "the Chileans know how to celebrate," eeeehhh ....- everyone feels "proud to be in an independent living" and yet, despite this, I can not feel part of this euphoria, I am indeed very far to feel, if anything I feel is about the limit of embarrassment. All this added to the 33 miners who already shortly what will happen to them is a reality show, and ALL are profiting as a result of that. I rejoice in the soul to know they were alive, but of course all did not escape controversy beginning with the president ...


Buuut, I will refrain, for today.
Most likely is that someone who reads this LJ may support him and do not pretend to have political conflicts, not now. NO, THANKS. But if, at some point my LJ will see my deep dislike for this man. Sorry I can probably never liked. He is intelligent, is that for business, and to my disappointment, is the president elected by a bunch of stupid , Chileans who said that with their vote.

So, alas.

Returning to the subject. The "Bicentennial." And the whole "efersvecencia" that I can not, I do not want and do not feel part. Independence in 1810 did not happen in that year, he called an open meeting because the King Fernando VII was taken prisoner by Napoleon, and removed from office, the junta pledged allegiance to the king and did not want to Joseph Bonaparte then swore they indepenciarian of Spain while he was under the power of France, but when the king turned around volveríaa what it was before. Independence itself was signed in 1818, to be ma s accurate, April 5 with the Battle of Maipú.

So what that tells us, THIS IS NOT THE BICENTENNIAL .
Moreover, the social gaps still remain, and the upper class continues to be economically darker and richer, it is not material poverty, poverty is a civic. Sad, but true.

So what I will do is this: when September 18, celebrate, but I know that is not the bicentennial.
