Here\u2019s another post from our Argentine friend Jorge, and this time he\u2019s included a video of a famous comedian from his country. Personally, I much prefer a coffee or a cup of tea to go with my croissant:<\/p>\n
Chloroform + Croissant: \u20ac2<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
Believe it or not, this is the new Mediterranean breakfast. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is what people are eating right now all across the country. If not, let someone prove me wrong. We\u2019re numb, dazed; we don\u2019t react to absolutely anything. They limit our speed, and we accept it; they ban us from smoking, and we accept it; they vaccinate us against swine flu, and we accept it; they tell us that unemployment will fall in March, and we accept it\u2026 And so on with an endless array of restrictions and bans that they\u2019re gradually rolling out, to distract us, to keep giving us our daily dose of anaesthesia.<\/span> It\u2019s time to say \u2018enough is enough\u2019 \u2013 we need a plan, and we need it now. No more decaf \u2013 the more caffeine, the better, unless you\u2019ve got high blood pressure. It\u2019s time for the day to have 25 hours, and for us to work all of them to shake off the lethargy we\u2019re currently in.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
We all need to change our attitude. Let\u2019s stop waiting for the famous, debt-ridden STATE. It no longer exists; it is just a loathsome monster on the verge of death. Let\u2019s stop lamenting and get down to work. Let\u2019s create our own opportunities and take responsibility for ourselves. We must revive the culture of hard work. Let\u2019s be frugal; the feast is over \u2013 that\u2019s now part of history. And history is written only by the winners; the losers have no place in it \u2013 they cannot write it. Our history is personal \u2013 or do any of us want our children to reproach us for what we are leaving them?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
We must force politicians to get their act together, not because they can solve our problems, but so that they stop putting further obstacles in our way on this difficult journey. Enough is enough; we must say so loud and clear. Let\u2019s set off down the tunnel right now; let\u2019s stop digging downwards and start moving forwards. Our present and our future depend entirely on us. No one is going to come and rescue us \u2013 absolutely no one. According to them, we aren\u2019t important enough for them to take action.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
