opposition to save!
Published online columnist for El Espectador Www.elespectador.com
In politics an impartial critic worth ten thousand supporters. Does he know that the President?
Bringing together his ideas about the enormous sympathy that now support it, Álvaro Uribe Vélez assumed immense responsibility towards the country whose enforcement requires a superlative synderesis; qualities that a ruler easily lost if fans used to feel always willing to give coba as unique as its management.
The lack of robust antagonistic sociopolitical any ecosystem unbalanced. Therefore, the Colombian situation needs to keep opponents Uribe, now so threatened species like the Siberian tiger or the spectacled bear. Urgent action, ban hunting and to establish conservation areas before it's too late. Otherwise the consequences will be devastating.
Many analysts, among whom Jorge Leyva Valenzuela stands by item published in El Espectador (week of July 31 to August 6, 2005) - commented on the overwhelming percentage of public devotion to President Uribe in recent polls. And the opinion is unequivocal: if the Constitutional Court approves the re-election, the presidential race will be a "I came, I saw, I conquered" in favor of incumbent (Who just dodged another obstacle to its application continuity to placate the reluctant former President Pastrana with a sweet muzzle diplomat). And a myriad of developers, fans and adherents proclaim the perpetuation of Uribe in power and single output for the nation. It's dogma. The leitmotif that rings triumphant opposition forces to confused, Lilliputians, and discredited ... And also a threat to our democracy.
assimilate to the state regent depreciated from the time of French King Louis XIV, since it disproved the lack of bad advice, especially with swarms of apologists ready to say to the ruler as he wants to listen (which, often distorts the circumstances and becomes, for example, a mentirocracia meritocracy, democracy or 'democresía' to poison her with hypocrisy). Therefore, those who defend the variety falls into question beliefs, which not useful to many uribeneficiarios are true, and disagree, if it were the case, before surrendering without bending to the collective uribeodez (and elusive at times as indicated by tripping the Putumayo), is proper to recover the civil disobedience that Thoreau and, although enacted the propensity is to do otherwise, follow the advice of Francis Bacon, doubts start to end in certainties.
Certainly, President Uribe is a portentous political, but its obvious gifts as a guide to the Colombian government, he and his advisers overlap remarkable abilities to orchestrate a massive carnival illusion ever in our history as a republic. Under the huge trompe l'oeil, today 80% of Colombians have changed the real country with its ills and problems to the Wonderland (which is not necessarily bad) and hope to hope the second election of the Redeemer. Evaporated pluralism gave way to a 'pluribismo' which are not covered if the citizens are for or against the government, but the extent of Uribe. Moreover, as usual in this climate Nemiña dissenting, where reigns notion that, whatever we is made, if Uribe's initiative is well, is crush any hint of dissent or questioning of armor filled with rants ("to exclude the wicked?), transparency (so that to contemplate what is forbidden debate?) and other multi converted abracadabras in hieratic fees.
When ordered to use "least-twenty dozen qualifiers praiseful or list of accomplishments, in order to make even a euphemistic criticism of the leader? If Uribe is so exceptional, why contemplate with magnifying glass? Does it serve to break the obstinacy that guerrilla? And apart from these figures that the average citizen DANE ever you can check! And, worse yet, the polls! Have you noticed the extraordinary number of repetitions of the word 'Uribe' involved in any piece printed information, virtual, radio or TV made in Colombia (the text included)? Like those mantras, chanted in perpetuity in Buddhism, the term is the fashionable social crutch. The uribest-selling wonder why celebrity as governor to increase with every poll? (If almost all questions will come to public release ... which of these names sound more!?).
way, decades ago, the German mathematician Hermann Haken, father of Synergetics (doctrine of joint action) compiled in his book "formulas for success in nature," revealing experiences that show how people condescend to dominant views tend to adherírseles (even those that should be identified as wrong and Sometimes, despite having done so). Mutual suggestion is the best amplifier Uribe phenomenon. The public believes and also wants to believe. A sort of echo effect which promotes greater acceptance in each survey. Neutralizes emotional fascination rational for any ingredient, as explained by U.S. President James Madison (1751-1836), "human reason, the man in general is very fearful and cautious when you feel alone, and becomes more stronger and confident as he believes that many others think like him. " Moreover, after the seductions of the Uribe administration (and therefore ability to do favors and favorability) lies a monumental marketing strategy ...
There is a nearly foolproof trick to amaze audiences elusive: Before the session, the speaker makes some of his friends sit in the back rows, then as you talk, and after some well-rehearsed phrases, accented with dramatic, their comrades nod and repeat the neighbors: "How wonderful!" "he knows a lot!" "The guy is left!", "Should re-elect" and other accolades that are disseminated to the public, from time to time, these same allies are questions that the presenter chosen to dazzle the assembly with unique solutions, and the conclusion is something spectacular: not well he thanked the congregation, a timid cheers sound with them, buddies, back of the room, push all the crowd to something that usually leads to thunderous applause, after the return home unprepared convinced having seen something great and ready to certify in any survey. Many excellent speakers (and some less good) use similar methods to increase their impact on people, such as a session highlight humorous therapy Alcoholics Anonymous or a regional council.
Do Colombians speak today-ignoring-most in a unique comedy? Who knows, but doubt the tricks, especially with respect, is an option for members of a participatory democracy and an indispensable factor for the magician to perfect his craft. Therefore, before receiving the blessing "Uribe et orbi" as a panacea is safe evoke a children's story by Hans Christian Andersen entitled "The emperor is naked" Today we have a great President unfit to rule as he did any before. With a special feature: the idiots can not notice ... Right? "Fiction? Impossible to determine, because if the president ahead of his work and none is alleged positive effects of its mandate no one will venture to say to avoid looking stupid to others.
This is where the courageous opposition needed, if such is true beauty, magic improved by these skeptics, and if everything goes wrong, they mitigate the transition from the illusion of conviction "to the percentage", the disillusionment of " I'm so sorry! ".
