Perra vida

Sometimes you can't match reality with imagination. That is imagination,  and balls of an attorney in Lima. In the past month they had a few stories concerning pets, owners and people that provide services to pets. Some headlines: "La mascota del jefe del Ejército fue robada de la veterinaria Rondon" "Delincuentes asaltaron una veterinaria y se llevaron hasta los perros"   " Pretendan pedir dinero a los dueños de estas mascotas" Then some good news and then some ...  "La mascota del general Guibovich fue rescatada" "Denuncian que perros fueron a bañarse en veterinaria y los entregaron muertos"  I could not have made this up ..... "Luis Balcázar, asesor legal de Conan’s Pet admitió que hubo negligencia pero minimizó la situación. Bañamos cerca de 250 perros semanales y no muere ninguno.  Negligencias hay en todo sitio, anotó". Fallecieron producto de los golpes que le aplicaron en dicho local, supuestamente par...

Cara duras ... los Curas

When an organization like a church has to make a statement and take a position on any situation, you have to carefully read what and what not, they do recognize. Joseph Alois Ratzinger said : La Iglesia tenía una “necesidad muy profunda” de reconocer que debe hacer penitencia por sus pecados y aceptar la purificación”. The official position is ... Negar que existiera encubrimiento y calificando todo de “chismorreo mezquino”.  Give me a break!!!  I guess history is on that side of escape routes of responsibility. They said it, but do they believe in it? ... “El perdón no puede sustituir a la Justicia”

Experience and Hope

Peru is now the world's second leading producer of silver, fifth of gold, and third of copper and zinc. It is truly a multi-mineral mining country, with many hundreds of ventures in the high Andes, in the eastern desert areas, and the jungle. One of the largest operations is in the town of Cerro de Pasco in the central mountains, where mineral in many forms has been transported by rail to the port of Callao for over a century. The Cerro de Pasco Corporation operated for many years, then Centromin took over, a Peruvian government controlled company. When reality led to privatization the Doe Run company was in control. It was not only the objective to be efficient in running a very complex and large set up, but you have no control over the fluctuations of world prices of minerals. There was an additional task, ... the town was truly contaminated and people were sick. Add the fact that minerals were found under land were people lived and what you have is a very difficult commer...

Authority and Responsibility

I have been so disappointed and disgusted how people in power abuse their authority for their own benefit or group or interest. That is a reality to be expected if we always use "Authority" and "Power" interchangeably. Especially in government. Although, one thing is to Lead and another to Influence , we always mainly focus in the Legitimacy of such authority for justification of any and all actions. "Ese Man es un bravo ... de los buenos !! Esta en todas!! .. Por eso es El Jefe" If the legitimacy of any authority is legal, or traditional, or charismatic, I expect that Authority to have equal Responsibility . That is a challenge to the way we hold people accountable, in everything we do we accommodate our position of results. Even the variety of approaches by Geo-social differences .. In the southern hemisphere .. "Jefecito .. es la primera vez .. no paso nada .." "No es para tanto .. no exageren .. No jodan !!" "A cualquiera...
