the earth is blue like an orange

Some countries, preoccupied with the global warming caused by the excessive emissions of carbon dioxide, decided to use bio fuels instead of  diesel made with petrol. The bio diesels are less polluting that the normal ones. In Brazil, for instance, the cars run on sugar cane alcohol. But I think the bio fuels will not solve the question of global warming. The many fields that are used for sugar cane plantation could served for growing foodstuffs for people and corn for the animals.

Electric cars can’t neither be a solution. I remember of a Spanish, that was complaining because the numerous aeolian windmill disfigured the landscapes of his country. The problem with electric cars is the production of electricity.

In fact, I think all the renewable energy sources that are proposed for the transportation won’t solve anything. The real problem is our behaviour. How many businessman go to work alone in their car? We should developpe public transportation, like buses and subway, and optimize the private transportation, trying to use all the space we can in the cars. We could easaly divide by two the carbon dioxide emission caused by transportation. All we need is to act; if everybody do something, we could  limit the problem.

“World Looks to Ethanol to Ease Fossil Fuel Dependency”, on the newspaper Voice ofAmerica: an article about Bush Latin America tour. The brazilian mostly disapprove this trip, whose objective was to discuss ethanol (sugar cane alcohol) with president Lula.

I think being oneself is being different.For exemple, I really hate the fashion. The principle is that everybody must be like everybody. It’s the herd instinct: when one sheep throw itself over the edge of a cliff, all the sheeps of the herd do the same thing. So I would like to do something really different, that would follow no rule.

I always had the impression that our destiny is determinated. Even with good studies, we will not have a real future. We will just follow a path. It’s difficult, and sometimes impossible, to create his own path. Well, it’s my impression. Platon (I think it’s him) said that “there is no favourable wind for the person who doesn’t know where she goes”. But sometimes I would like to give up doing all the things I’m doing, and follow a road that goes nowhere.

I like the Inca civilization. It’s mayby a bit too warlike, but facinating, with all its gods, its architecture (thoses pyramids), its costums and foods. So if I want to visit Mexico it’s to know better this civilization. The history of Mexico city is also fantastic: the town was built on a swamp. At the beginning, nobody liked this region. And after a time, the Incas managed to turn it the capital of their empire. But know, I think the city was spoilt, with too much pollution, too much people, and too much ugly buildings.

You really must go to Chile. It so beautiful, and there are a lot of wild animals: fox, llamas, birds,… The persons are really nice, and you have security.

Here is a photo I took there. It’s a quite cold region, so you have to take a lot of pull-overs. And it’s also very expensive. When I went there, last year, I stayed in a kind of farm, with only one bathroom for four or six rooms, for exemple, and it was really expensive. So I can’t imagine the price of the delux hotels. In fact, Torres del Paine is a protected region, so the prices of the hotels are very high because the government doesn’t want to attract a lot of tourists.

I really love ancient civilizations, like Rome, Greece, Babylon, Indians, Amerindians, Aztecs, ancient China… So I want to go to these places to understand how these civilizations worked. I think History is likes stories. I seems like other fascinating worlds, with their own customs, food, architecture, art,… In Greece, I would like to see the Parthenon, the monuments,…

I really love reading, and I adore books. I always thunk that it would be better to enter a book than to live in the reality, why the reality has narrow limits, while the imagination has nearly no limits. Everything becomes possible, and it’s not just our boring everyday. As we say in French: “metro, boulot, dodo” (subway, work, sleep).
