one of my turns
Day after day,
Our love turns gray,
Like the skin on a dying man.
And night after night,
We pretend its all right,
But I have grown older,
And you have grown colder,
And nothing is very much fun, anymore.
And I can feel,
One of all my turns coming on.
I feel,
Cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left,
Youll find my favorite axe.
Dont look so frightened,
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch tv?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate a silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly? -- would ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Ooohh. no!
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think its time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
Hey You
Desde a passada semana que ando com "The Wall", álbum de família na Radar, às voltas na memória. Aqui fica um exemplo do que me vai na cabeça
Paulinho a última frase é para ti, há que reflectir sobre o direito à greve...

O Dragão está morto, o Dragão está morto!
Ao que parece, era o que diziam estas crianças quando a foto foi tirada em 1963 em Paris, num teatro de Marionetas durante a representação da lenda de São Jorge e o Dragão.
Um homem inteligente!
Ladies and gentlemen,
the very word secrecy is repugnant, in a free and open society, and we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and secret proceedings.
We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweigh the dangers which are cited to justify it.
Even today there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating it's arbitrary restrictions.
Even today there is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation, if our traditions do not survive with it.
And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious who wish to expand it's meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.
That I do not intend to permit, to the extent that it is in my control.
And no official of my administration whether his rank as high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight, as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes, or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.
For we are opposed, around the world, by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy, that relies primarily on covet means for expanding it's fear of influence,
on infiltration instead of invasion,
on subversion instead of elections,
on intimidation, instead of free choice,
on guerrillas by night, instead of armies by day,
It is a system which has conscripted, vast material and human resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations.
Its preparations are concealed, not published.
It's mistakes are buried, not headlined.
Its dissenters silenced, not praised.
No expenditure is questioned. No rumor is printed. No secret is revealed.
No president should fear public scrutiny of his program.
Because from that scrutiny comes understanding. And from that understanding comes support or opposition, and both are necessary.
I am not asking your newspaper to support an administration.. But I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people..
For I have complete confidence in the response and the dedication of our citizens when they are fully informed.
I not only could not stifle controversy from your readers I welcome it. This administration intends to be candid about its errors. For as a wise man once said, "an error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it".
We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors and we expect you to point them out when we miss them. Without debate without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed. And no republic can survive.
That is why the Athenian law decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the first amendment, the only business in America specifically protected by the constitution,
not primarily to amuse or entertain,
not to emphasize the trivial and sentimental,
not to simply give the public what it wants,
but to inform, to arouse, and to reflect
to state our dangers and our opportunities,
to indicate our crises and our choices,
to lead, mould, and educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news, for it is no longer far away and foreign, but close at hand and local.. it means greater attention to improved attention to greater understanding of the news, as well as improved transmission, and it means finally, the government at all levels, must meet its obligation, to provide you with it's possible information, outside the narrowest limits of national security.
And so it is to the printing press, to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the carrier of his news, that we look for strength, and his assistance, confident that with your help, Man will be what he was born to be..
Free and independent."
o golpe de 23 de fevereiro de 1981 em Espanha
En el golpe del día 23 coinciden las distintas tramas golpistas que operaban desde el inicio de la transición, mediante una acción coordinada.
A las seis en punto de la tarde empieza la votación nominal para la investidura de Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo como Presidente del Gobierno de España.
A las 18:21 horas, cuando iba a emitir su voto el diputado socialista Juan Manuel Núñez Encabo, un grupo de guardias civiles, metralleta en mano, irrumpe en el hemiciclo del Congreso de los Diputados encabezados por el teniente coronel Antonio Tejero. Este, desde la tribuna, gritó "¡Quieto todo el mundo!" y dió orden de que todos se tirasen al suelo.
Instintivamente, como el militar de más alta graduación allí presente y como vicepresidente del gobierno, el general Gutiérrez Mellado se levantó y, dirigiéndose al teniente coronel Tejero, increpó a los asaltantes, pidiendo explicaciones y ordenándoles que depusieran las armas. Tras un brevísimo forcejeo y para reafirmar su orden, Tejero efectúa un disparo que es seguido por unas ráfagas de los sub-fusiles de los asaltantes.
Sobre la una de la madrugada del día 24 de febrero, el Rey intervino en televisión, vestido con uniforme de Capitán General de los Ejércitos para situarse contra los golpistas, defender la Constitución española y desautorizar a Milans del Bosch. A partir de ese momento el golpe se da por fracasado. A la medianoche, Alfonso Armada se presentó en el Congreso con un doble objetivo: convencer al teniente coronel Tejero que depusiera su actitud y asumir él mismo el papel de jefe del Gobierno a las órdenes del rey, en actitud claramente anticonstitucional. Pero Armada no era la "autoridad competente" esperada y Tejero lo despachó violentamente. Por su parte, Milans del Bosch, aislado, canceló sus planes a las cinco de la mañana y fue arrestado, mientras que Tejero resistió hasta el mediodía del 24. Sería, sin embargo, durante la mañana del día 24 cuando los diputados serían liberados.
um sonho!!!
