Capital Punishment: A Crime

Capital Punishment is not THE solution to reduce criminality, because is an animal behavior took the life of someone, even if he or she is a murder. Capital Punishment is a criminal behavior like the murder do with homicides. With death penalty, criminal stats have the same behavior such in states that have not that maximum sentence.
In the other side, applying capital punishment can turn the justice into injustice. In the United States of America, one of each seven condemned man was free of charges, innocent people who didn’t have the opportunities to rehab himselves or get any chances to defend his innocence before the juror and the judge.
Also, that penalty is linked with the behavior of the entire society, with things like racism, discrimination, authoritarianism, etc. In USA, there are more black man that white in jails.
Homicides didn’t occur, in the major of cases, with premeditation. This kind of crimes happen with assaults or steals with fireguns. And happen wherever in the world, with or without capital punishment.
So, the government have to operate into the place of the criminal: poor families. And, they don’t have to forget the rich criminals. So, the government have to act to change the culture of abuse, present in our society. And make a change in the educative programs. The educative programs must have changes in values, and they have to extend to the families and social sectors.
Also, the government must have to reduce the number of drunk people, by reducing bars and pubs, and increasing the liquor taxes.
I think the criminality is increasing, owing to the fact that the mass media believe and make believe us that. Mass media make generalizations of every crime in Santiago, a city that have the 40% of the total people in Chile. So, by stats, Santiago has more reports of crime than other regions. And mass media focus they attention in Santiago.
But, Santiago is not Chile.
In 2004, I was a victim of a steal in Valparaíso. A man tried to take my cellphone, but I defended myself and I took the initiative and I banged him to save my cellphone. I was successful, and I recover, finally, my cellphone.

Christmas. =)

My favorite festivity is Christmas!, I love thaht holiday, because is full of joy, happiness and charity to the poorest people. I always spend it with my family, at home, in Los Andes.

Well, as a family, we decorate the entire house with garlands, decorative balls. Also we cook the entire christmas's dinner, with a big turkey marinate in white wine, with orange liquor and some nuts. I go to visit to my friends, and we give each other some gifts, like scarfs, greeting cards, pencils, etcetera.

The last holiday we spend it as a big family, with my two granmothers, my aunts and uncles, cousin and some close friends. We share a bid dinner, with music, some games. We took photos, record videos and laught a lot. It was in my uncle's house, in Los Andes.

I would like to do, this year, to go to the beach. I would like to spend christmas in the sand, with my beloved one, at the night stars.

That's my gadget.

My PC. That's my favorite piece of technology. It's a little bit old, but it works yet. It came from a garage sale, of a computer rent store. I bought it in CL$40.000 or US$75, with a color monitor included. That was good.
I decided to install into it Ubuntu, a Linux distribution that I consider better than Windows.
I use it to make my works, from university and others kinds of jobs from any people. I make websites for several professionals, that want me because others peoples recommends me. Also I use it for check the works from my alumnis in the university and listen some music when I do the “home things”, like wash the dives and glasses, and that kind of stuff.
I use it everyday, when I can. The first thing I do when I get home is turn on the PC. It’s placed in the living room, because it doesn’t fit into my room. I like it because contains all the software that I use and I cannot find in other pc. My life without a PC would be a little boring, causing me a disconnected state from the world, because I use my PC to read the e-newspapers too.

My friend.

The buddy I ever wish

Where I met my best friend?...The magic thing happened when I was in my second year studying journalism. I was taking part in the student movement, taken by the alumnis during the '07's fall.
Him was (and is) a student of my career, but a year lower. His name is Sebastián and is 21 years old. I met him into the central house of my university, while all was sleeping. We started to talk about the evilness of the goverment, and we shared some cigarrettes and coffee. Since that moment, we started our great relationship.
I consider him my best friend because he shared with me all his thoughts, his troubles and his happiness too. I do the same, inviting him to a coffee to talk, or whatever. We go out to enjoy the night, drink some drinks, and all that stuff.
I remember when we was, one day, without money and we have a lot of hungry. So, he ran to a supermarket, and bring some food. But I thought "ok, he brings some food, but we have no money". When he cames back, he told me "run!". So, I didn't know what to do, so he tooks my arm and we started to run. The guardians was behind us, but, finally, we lose they during our escape. Nice. Hehehe.
Now we used to study together, watch some movies, share our music and eat tasteful food.
