The non-sense of the society without money

In many UFO cases, there are 2 constant data that the abductees or contactees provide when they tell what the aliens told them: they´re always vegetarians and don´t use money. It´s a very strange coincidence, because it´s always it.

Talking about the vegetarianism, I, a convicted omnivorous, consider it, at least, an extravagance, because the human being, by his animal condition, needs to consume at least a few amount of animal protein. The mankind belongs to the fauna! About the aliens don´t use money, it´s another thing... Recently, I watched a presentation of a Peruvian UFO researcher who told the story of an Yugoslavian who was abducted many times, became a friend of the aliens and said that in their planet there´s no money.

When I think in a society without money, the first question that comes to my mind is: how the work would be paid? Besides that, I´m able to imagine a society without money only as a small tribe stopped in the stone age. More than this, for me, no way! However, the son of a friend of mine, also Peruvian, is student of economy and told me that the Inca civilization was a society without money. I stood still, because I simply can´t imagine such a complex society without capital. According to what the guy explained to me, the work, even the most complex labor, was always paid in terms of exchange.

Coming back to the Peruvian UFO researcher, in the final part of his presentation, he, who must be catholic, stood for the Teology of Liberation, which is nothing more than marxist catholicism, mentioned beautiful statements of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara about how the world would be such a paradise if the money were equally distributed etc. In fact, this man is a communist... but there´s a problem: Karl Marx preached the equal division of the money - so far, it´s OK. But Marx never preached the abolition of the money, the currency, the capital, or how you want to call it. As a matter of fact, this UFO researcher is a crazy blend of communist and anarchist who doesn´t like money... or says that doesn´t like, because certainly he´s paid for his UFO books and for his work as professor of the University of São Paulo.

The non-sense of the society without money is just one more of the crazy ideas created by the delirious mind of people who think that they have the power of "fix" the world through a very, very simple attitude. In conclusion, the world would be much better if there weren´t so many people trying to better it through magic solutions.

Just good will is not enough

There are not a few the people who think that the owners of websites such as Google, Orkut, YouTube, Yahoo and others must be punished because some criminals use them to commit crimes, such as paedophilia, drug traffic, gun traffic, children traffic, women traffic and others. However, the people who think this way, although well-intentioned, don´t understand how things work in the internet.

In the case of the criminals who use any websites, their owners are not guilty because they use them in a bad way, even because most users, millions of people, use them in a good way.

To sue the owners of the websites by which some criminals commit paedophilia is the same as to sue a knife manufacturing company because some consumers use them to kill people. Their owners are not guilty because some criminal uses their knifes in a bad way. In the web, it´s the same situation.

What may solve or at least fight this problem in fact will be when the police tracks the IPs of the computers of the criminals, sue them and put them in the jail. This would be fair indeed.

The debate about the web crimes demonstrates that just good will is not enough, because only who has a minimal notion of how the internet works in fact can realise how unfair would be, for example, to fine the owners of Google in millions of dollars because there are communities of paedophilia in Orkut while the real guilty would remain free to act.

Once more, the Brazilian Church makes a big mistake

Some days ago, I saw in the blog of my friend and medieval catholic Leonardo Bruno, best known as Count, the banner of the Fraternity Campaign 2010 of the Brazilian Catholic Church: "You cannot serve to God and money - Mt 6,24". This campaign collides frontally with the will of the Brazilian people and with the ways that the Brazilian society is taking in economical terms. In Count´s opinion, this campaign is a position of the "catholic left", or, as many ones use to say, of the "red fathers". In my opinion, by the other side, that´s the position of the whole Church, not only of its leftist, socialist wing. Pro-capitalist Catholic Church is the same as Popes´ meeting: doesn´t exist.

Although the Vatican is one of the richest States of the world, the Catholic Church always preached the poverty and always condemned the business spirit. The medieval Church which condemned the profit is the same current Church that condemns the richness - of the other ones, of course. The great problem of the current Church is that the Brazilian people doesn´t accept to live in the poverty anymore. People want to get rich and give to their children a better standard of living than which they inherited of their parents.

I, who was baptized, catechized and received the First Communion, never agreed with this hypocrite position of the Church of Rome. Instead of it, I always thought the Church should change. But it doesn´t change. It doesn´t change because it doesn´t want to change, it doesn´t want to recognize that it´s totally wrong in this point, such as in many others.

May the devotees excuse me, but if the Brazilian Church keep on this way, Brazil will soon become a protestant nation, and the Clergy will lose. With this pro-poverty campaign, the Brazilian Church once more makes a big mistake and doesn´t learn the lesson.
