True Valentine's love 2012

Valentine, alone again?

nay, we are too many in here,

celebrating true love,

without business interfering,

telling us, you, we me

when to turn love:

ON OFF

A Spinettan Witch

It's late again,

a witch drinks a Bailey’s' glass in the balcony,

humming a song. Sweet. (song)...

Spinetta...

she whis(h)pers.

The stars rearrange, them-selve, s. In the blink. O(h)

F*** an eye.

I dream, the caster of spells hums a new

HOLY song (sweet). Song of sadness.

A bus drives through the stars,

I smile. Asleep. Am I awaken?

He has disappeared from the: h*o+r*i-z*o+n....

Spinetta...

she whispers...

I dream of a wonderful magical singing didli-didlido Spinettan world.

No SOPA for me!

Today everyone is talking about SOPA. Me too...

I was once asked: "What is freedom of speech?" by one of my students. I remember I answered her that it was the RIGHT of all sentient beings to express themselves publicly WITHOUT fear of being REPRESSED by ANYONE ANYWHERE. Today, I add, and the best place to exercise this RIGHT is the INTERNET. So I wonder why someone would try to cut off the branches of FREEDOM and LIBERTY that have flourished on the net. The answer is simple, at least to me: If someone does not let you grow culturally, then that person or group can CONTROL you more easily. If one of my 6º graders would ask me today why I do not support SOPA I would say: because it jails freedom of speech in a glass tower where, only, the CEO of a small numbered business can control it so that the world would live in fear. We don't need anyone to tell us how to develop the WORLD WIDE WEB because it develops alone. We the artist who nourish from the shared content online will surely find another way of expressing and sharing our voices but that is not the point, the point is that BIG CORPORATIONS cannot amputate our limbs and then let us here to rot and die while they profit from our blood. Culture is the engine that has driven mankind throughout HISTORY and if we start impaling the mediums in which CULTURE NOURISH then we as a society will fall in another DARK AGE. We watch Star Wars and we cannot believe that there are people as bad as DARTH SIDIOUS who wants to conquer the universe for his own dirty profit, but those people exist. They are promoting SOPA. Unfortunately for them, there is not only light and darkness, out there, in the real world there exist millions of colours, and so many as people are in the EARTH. So we FIGHT, with the tools we have. So we SHOUT, SCREAM, YELL! Because the most important RIGHT we have is FREEDOM OF SPEECH because if someone does not let us speak our minds freely, then we explode. And then, we call for REVOLUTION! That is why I support FREEDOM OF SPEECH but no SOPA. Pink Floyd was right:

"We don't need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom..." (Another Brick in the Wall, part 2, The Wall, Pink Floyd)

In the streets, we fight. In the classrooms, we fight. In the TV, we fight. In the INTERNET, we FIGHT! We fight because no one can stop us in our domains. THE INTERNET IS OURS, NOT CORPORATE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN LEARN FROM US: WE DON'T LIKE SO MANY THINGS YOU DO, BUT STILL WE DON'T BAN YOU FROM DOING THEM, WE TRY TO TEACH YOU BETTER! LEARN AND BUILD!

PEACE!
