Although I still get a good night’s sleep without barbiturates, I often wake up thinking about the radioactive material that is spilling into the sea in Japan. Only in time will you become aware of the catastrophe that is being generated right now. How did they build an atomic power plant at the edge of the sea in a region of tsunamis? Economic and political interests were greater than the intelligence and common sense characteristic of the Japanese. Civilization has already managed to destroy the air, the forests, the rivers and now places large-scale radioactive material into the sea. That thing the French and the North Koreans had already done with atomic tests in the ocean. It is the total destruction of nature itself. Our oxygen comes from the sea. The fish are being devastated by industrial fishing with trawlers 30 km long and spines 120 km. The ocean is acidifying with air pollution. The reefs are losing their diversity. Environmental devastation is much faster than the counter current of research to save ecosystems.

When will they stop cowardly eating fish that can not even utter sounds complaining about their suffering in killing by hooks, harpoons, nets and water pollution? There is protein left in the plant kingdom to supply all humanity, which now eats too much, if development is channeled into it in the long run. The critters were meant to play and to be utilitarian, not to fill someone’s belly. If there are undernourished extra-terrestrials who see us as food, how will it be? Only then may there be reflection on the question of eating the animal kingdom. Animals eating animals. Cannibals.

It came out a sensational book on the issue of the industrialized killing of animals called “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer. For 3 years, the author studied the meat market numbers and visited slaughterhouses. He should win the Nobel Prize for Literature.


Who also deserves all the awards of the cinema is the Win Wenders. His documentary about Pina Bausch, in 3D, is absolutely fantastic, touching, charming. The audience weathers the plastic glasses and can not get up from the chair at the end.
