Right to delirium
Truth be told, no one can resist: a time so, for that is arbitrary, all feel the temptation to ask how the weather will be will be. And go up there know how it goes. We have a single certainty: in the twenty-first century, if we are still here, we will all be people of the last century and, worse still, the last millennium.
While we can not guess how long it will be, we do have the right to imagine what we want it to be. In 1948 and 1976, the United Nations proclaimed long lists of human rights, but the vast majority of humanity has a right to see, hear and be silent. How about we start exercising never proclaimed right to dream? What do wonder a little? Let's stare at a point beyond the childhood to imagine another possible world:
the air will be free of any poisons that come from human fears and human passions;
street, cars will be crushed by dogs;
people will not be driven by cars, or programmed by computers, or bought by supermarkets, or watched by television sets;
the TV no longer be the most important family member and will be treated as the iron and washing machine;
people work to live rather than live to work;
criminal codes will include the crime of stupidity committed by those who live to have and to win, instead of living just to live, as the bird sings without know who sings and plays like a child without knowing that it plays;
in any country will be arrested the youth who refuse military service, but going to jail those who wish to serve;
economists do not call standard life of the level of consumption, nor will they call quality of life for many things;
cooks not believe that lobsters like to be served alive;
historians do not believe that countries like being invaded;
politicians do not believe that poor people like to eat promises, nobody will believe
que a solenidade é uma virtude e ninguém levará a sério aquele que não for capaz de deixar de ser sério;
a morte e o dinheiro perderão seus mágicos poderes e nem por falecimento ou fortuna o canalha será transformado em virtuoso cavaleiro;
ninguém será considerado herói ou pascácio por fazer o que acha justo em lugar de fazer o que mais lhe convém;
o mundo já não estará em guerra contra os pobres, mas contra a pobreza, e a indústria militar não terá outro remédio senão declarar-se em falência;
a comida não será uma mercadoria e nem a comunicação a business, because food and communication are human rights;
anyone die of hunger because no one will die of indigestion;
street children will be treated as garbage, because there will be no street children;
the rich kids will not be treated just like cash, because there will be no rich kids;
education will not be the privilege of those who can afford it;
police will not be the terror of those who can not buy it;
justice and liberty, Siamese twins sentenced to live separately, will unite, very closely, shoulder to shoulder;
a black woman will be president of Brazil, and another black woman, will be president of the United States of America, and an Indian woman will govern Guatemala and one in Peru;
Argentina in the Women of the Plaza de Mayo will be an example of mental health, because they refused to forget the days of compulsory amnesia;
Holy Mother Church will correct the errors of the tablets of Moses and Sixth Commandment mandate to celebrate the body;
the church also will dictate another commandment which God forgot "Thou shalt love the nature of which you are part;
will be reforested the world's deserts and deserts of the soul;
the desperate will be expected and the lost and found, because they are the ones who despaired of waiting and those who lost so much seek;
we will be contemporary of those who have aspirations for justice and beauty, were born where they were born and have lived where they lived, without importing or rather the boundaries of the map or time;
perfection remain bored privilege of the gods, but in this world crazy and tough, Each night will be lived as if it were the last and every day was like the first. "

"It is the birth of the new millennium. You can not take seriously the matter: after all, the year 2001 is the year of Christians 1421 Muslims, 5114 of Maya 5761 and the Jews. The new millennium is born in January. th January by the grace of a whim of the senators of the Roman Empire, that a good day decided to break tradition that sent celebrate the new year in early spring. And account the years of the Christian era derives from another whim: a good day, the pope of Rome decided to date the birth of Jesus, though nobody knows when it was born. Time mocks the limits we attribute to believe the fantasy that we comply, but the whole world celebrates and fears that border.

Millennium, millennium comes, the time is ripe for the speakers of verb fiery speech on the future of humanity and that the spokesmen of the wrath of God announcing the end of the world and the general destruction, while the time, closed-mouth, continues its journey throughout eternity and mystery.
