Whoever married - even only once - somebody coming from a different social class will understand that what is seen as positive in some classes is seen as negative in some others, leaving you no other chance to "améliorate" than... to regress. Part of it is related to the fact that some of our "values" are just class prejudices, part of it to the fact that some classes are on purpose kept away from real values so they can be seen later as deserving what happens to them. I unfortunately do not see any solution.

"Show me a cultural relativist at thirty thousand feet and I'll show you a hypocrite. Airplanes built according to scientific principles work. They stay aloft, and they get you to a chosen destination. Airplanes built to tribal or mythological specifications, such as the dummy planes of the cargo cults in jungle clearings or the beeswaxed wings of Icarus, don't. If you are flying to an international congress of anthropologists or literary critics, the reason you will probably get there - the reason you don't plummt into a ploughed field - is that a lot of Western scientifically trained engineers have got their sums right. Western science, acting on good evidence that the moon orbits the Earth a quarter of a million miles away, using Western-designed computers and rockets, has succeeded in placing people on its surface. Tribal science, believing that the moon is just above the treetops, will never touch it outside of dreams".

An old cowboy sat down at the bar and ordered a drink. As he sat sipping his drink, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life, breaking colts, working cows, going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy."
She said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think about women when I eat. It seems that everything makes me think of women."
The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian."

HIDE AND SEEK GAME : HEY, GOD AND DOMINANT CLASSES, I HAVE FINISHED ! WILL YOU PLEASE GET OUT, NOW ?
OK, like all people I was sent into the present mess you call "the world" and brainwashed into believing more or less in a lot of things : honesty, Santa Claus, justice, honor, good will of people as a whole, love, the existence of God, "direction of history" (that one was probably the biggest lie of them all !), the interest - if any - of being alive, great texts that could be the pride of mankind (Ecclesiastes and Khayyam being about the only ones I could recognize as such).
I grew. I know now that all these things were lies, just designed to make us accept to work as cattle for people who just needed our workforce. Ah ah ! Excellent joke ! I must say you REALLY had me for a lot of decades. Clever work !
But please, now that the joke is over, could we consider that the game is over and at least not lose my time anymore ? I found you. Isn't it MY time to hide, now ?

 les photos trop larges nikent la mise en page a l'utilisation de la fonction dernier post |
Paganel ne sait pas faire & les vignettes cliquables..houu  |
Je n'avais pas de vignette sous la main, et la flemme d'en faire une. Par ailleurs, sous Firefox comme Chrome, Ctrl+molette de souris permet de zoomer l'image, ce qui limite les dégâts.
Cependant, ce serait en effet bien qu'Aff teste la largeur d'une photo insérée et, si celle-ci est supérieure à la largeur maximale recommandée (ce fut jadis 600, combien est-ce aujourd'hui ? 768 ? 1024 ?) fasse lui-même la vignette. Aux machines le travail des machines, nom d'la !

C'est vrai que c'est loufoque, cette histoire d'heure d'été, puisque de toute façon nous ne vivons pas selon le rythme solaire. Sinon, minuit serait au milieu de nos nuits : coucher à 20h, lever à 4h, comme les moines !
La raison de ce décalage est probablement la température, en effet décalée de quatre heures par rapport à la position du soleil : inertie thermique. |
