P roject: U nicornio

Well ...
Once upon a time that was, that ...
I was thinking about what I wanted to share in public transport known as "micros" or "germs" when I ended up staring at a couple of people who occupied the rear seat was for 5 - FIVE - 5 Persons!

were sitting comfortably, while standing were a man and a girl wearing big hand to a little girl about 4 years, going from one place to another by movement transport. And neither did nothing to move around, to let them place in the seat.

Especially the apathetic and fat ... do I say chubby: chubby, sprawled and fat jovenazo that "sprawled" next to the curvy girl who was next (Note how we will be impressed by the very wide passenger, until we see what "curvy" girl's! Look at the picture :)
.

Note the AH-CARAYYY (ie

H A angle orizontal

of C OMPOSITION OF A PENING OF R odillas,

A briéndolas as And o- And or Y oga ).

The angle GREEN is almost normal.

But ... RED angle is an abuse, which explains
the nickname given to the youth who
"scattered" and snoring in micros:
Fools! (And is this explain such opening ... street gangs, ggrr?).

The girl took his place, as it should, while the "gentleman" (because it looked like horse and bear, of .... jijos) boy covered three places ... and besides it was asleep. Do you, have you ever seen this rare case of rudeness? Nnooo, how they think, this only happens in faraway and uncivilized places, such as "Sweden, Denmark ... or outlying islets as Britain?

Sometimes, they talked of "Virtues of Bushido (here) . Among them, we have the RESPECT or COURTESY [ 礼 - Rei - Respect ], which should show a samurai, even towards his enemies.

Perhaps in these modern times, where not even the Citizenship is considered something relevant to basic education (and then complain about the country that we have) the Free be seen as an artifact of past behavior perhaps even "hypocrisy" among members of the Society ...

... but since there are wrong. The Courtesy is something more than "rules." It's what keeps together with a conglomerate of human beings, as in a fragile cell tissue. It's something that can be as humble as the lifting of the ground an object for a weaker person ... or to deliver the most valuable for us to help the helpless.

have heard of the tradition or protocol that many have heard (and some even often), in times of emergency or disaster: "Women and Children First!" , right? It is perhaps the highest rule of courtesy in extreme situations. But ... You know how that noble tradition started? It was in South Africa (now that's hot !!)... soccer and if I may, this is his story:

The Birkenhead was a steel steam ship with paddle wheels, three masts, and about 1900 tons, commanded by Captain Robert Salmond , the Royal English Navy. Had started on 7 January 1852 with reinforcements for the regiments which fought in the 8th. Eastern Cape border war and family (women and children) who were to join their husbands or fathers.

On Wednesday February 25 de1852, the ship began the final stop of his journey, based on Simon's Bay and False Bay browsing in a coastal route of South Africa, via Cape Hangklip to Danger Point, about 30 miles away. The name "danger point" ("Danger Point") was because the depth decreases rapidly near the tip.

And perhaps to hasten the trip, Captain Salmond said a course that passed within 3 miles of that place. Was an orientation error of calculation or simply an unexpected current, but the ship veered slightly to the low and at about 2 am, the crash occurred that initiated the tragedy.

On board were 638 people, including sailors, soldiers and passengers. And, as in these stories, the lifeboats only for a third of the crew and passengers!

[British flemáticametne parentheses: it seems they did not learn the lesson and repeated the argument for the Titanic. What they do some for arguments to DiCaprio and Winslet. Let's shift gears sarcastic].

Of course the panic and confusion appeared. It was there where serenity and leadership needed to control the situation, and came in the person of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Seton . Ordered his official to take charge of the ship's captain's orders were obeyed and maintain order.

The problem (just that with our *"#+%&? ruling) is that a hero must appear with the clumsy initiative (and besides, "recommended" ggrrr!). It gave the order reverse, with the idea of \u200b\u200breleasing the boat ... and what happened is that the hole opened further, accelerating the entry of water and sinking.

Amid all this chaos, managed to get off only three lifeboats, of the eight available. And that's where the legend began:

They got women and children, just in time to avoid to be dragged by the ship that was falling apart. The firm attitude of the officers remained calm soldiers and sailors, until the end, the bow broke off and wiped out nearly half of the crew. Then, Captain Salmond gave his last order,

requested that those who could be thrown into the water and try to save the life ... reaching for something to float or lifeboats.

not ever know what was the meaning of these words. The fact is that military officers immediately understood the consequences, and in an act that would last for posterity. Lieut. Colonel Seton took over and shouted to the men

Firm! I ask you, gentlemen, not to rush on the boats of Women and Children. The sink and condemn them to die. "

remember that the vast majority of the soldiers were people from poor families and poor, without a great education, enrolled more to ease the misery for glory or wealth. However, in this fateful hour, the bitterest their lives, faced certain death if they tried to escape ... What would you have done, modern and fellow Republicans?

Well, unlike many known spineless jerks and flying phrases like "That cry in your home to cry in mine ... better to cry in yours (Puuaaajjjhhh! )"..., only 3 or 4 jumped overboard, seeking survival. Others, almost 200 men, with preference given first to women and children, gave his right to save and remained in the shattered roof, preparing to die:

The final was anything but pleasant, apart from the ruptured hull of the ship and crash against the rocks, there were sharks in these treacherous waters. The few survivors were those who reached the place in boats and others who stayed more than 12 hours in the wreckage of the boat destroyed: only 193 of the 638 who had sailed from Simon's Bay.

Since then, thanks to the heroism, courage and compassion of these men, this tragic event happened to immortality with the name of Exercise Birkenhead (Birkenhead Drill "), a legendary event to now remembers those stronger should help the weakest in the Ocean Sea ... and in any other circumstances, such as Men of Honor who are (or should be?).

Y. .. and what I can tell. We should be polite, because it is one of those basic virtues (yet) differentiate us from the animals (and narcogruperos vile, cowardly narcopolitics, diputontos toadies, judges and presidents treacherous stupid ... I missed anyone?).
... and we could start with the seats on public transport, ahem!

And I leave. Here comes the "microbus" back. So I give you my best regards to next weekend donde me gustaría que me ayudaran a saber...

¿Por qué en esta tierra nos hemos hecho tan torpemente egoístas? ¿Falta de autoestima? ¿O cobardía existencial?

Un abrazo (cediendo el asiento) de parte del

P.D. ¡¡Y me voy a hacer el dormido, jejeje!!
