El otro día vi algo en la calle que me dejó pensante. Había una chica caminando en dirección contraria a nosotros, que por su apariencia debía llevar varios días, si no eran meses, en la calle. Tenía un bebé de unos 8 o 9 meses en brazos, y la seguía una nena chiquita con carita triste. Hasta acá nada que no vea a diario, es más este panorama era bastante alentador, por lo menos no estaban tirados en la calle o durmiendo dentro de un cajero automático a las 6 de la mañana; lo cual no quita que eso forme parte de su realidad diaria. La cosa es que la chica, de no más de 25 años calculo, había recibido un golpe que le había hecho sangrar la nariz. Por la cantidad de sangre había sido un buen golpe, pero no era nada que un poco de hielo y algodón no pudieran remediar. Un hombre se le acercó y le preguntó si estaba bien, aparentemente había lo que había pasado porque le dijo algo como 'Tenés que hacer la denuncia', y después empezó a señalar en dirección a unos policias que estaban en la otra cuadra. Otro hombre, más joven, también se acercó preocupado. 'No te puede pegar así, tenés que denunciarlo', le dijo y volvió a la parada del colectivo desde donde creo que había visto todo. A todo esto la chica parecía confundida, con la mano que tenía libre trataba de detener la sangre que seguía fluyendo de su nariz, y con la otra sujetaba con esfuerzo a su bebé. Cuando podía controlar un poco la pequeña hemorragia, bajaba la vista para asegurarse que la nenita la estuviera siguiendo.
Yo seguía con la boca abierta. Es increible la impotencia que uno siente. Creo que también uno actúa un poco cobardemente al participar de lejos, al asomarse a ese cachito de realidad pero sin involucrarse demasiado. Ahora, lejos, tranquila, en la comodidad de mi vida digo, podría haber hecho más que observar los hechos? No lo sé, pero me hubiese gustado tratar por lo menos. Ese día después seguimos caminando, la chica que antes se dirigía hacia donde estában los policías ahora caminaba a unos pasos de nosotros, sola de nuevo con las dos criaturitas. Supongo que sabe que no tiene caso avisar a la Tratamos de definir si el novio/esposo estaba cerca, había varios tipos de apariencia sospechosa pero nunca supimos si andaba por ahí o ya se había ido. Ella por su parte, caminaba con la miraba más serena, como si ya hubiese pasado por eso antes. Me parte el alma saber que existan personas que además de la miseria, viven en el maltrato, en una situación de violencia constante: hacia y desde la sociedad, y entre ellos mismos.
Y yo me quedo mirando, como la mayoría. No me sale más que pensar en eso y escupirlo acá. Pero eso no sirve de nada. Es muy loco ver esas cosas, y los contrastes que hay! Buenos Aires es en cierta manera como una cachetada de realidad, hay lugares que son fieles reflejos de esos oxímorones en los que predomina el absurdo. ¡Cuánta misera, cuánta fortuna! ¡Cuánta dolor, cuánto placer! ¡Cuánta desdicha, cuánta felicidad! Parece algo de no acabar, desde siempre ha sido así y supongo que seguirá funcionando así este gran sistemita podrido. Volviendo a aquella mujer de la calle, no puedo dejar de pensar en su futuro, y en el de esos dos nenitos. Por más que su situación mejore, ya están marcados psicologicamente... Supongo que tienen bastantes probabilidades de ser futuros sometedores o sometidos. Triste es el hecho de que existan tan pocas posibilidades de revertir esas situaciones, esos destinos. Y la miseria ataca igual a ambos géneros, pero la violencia parece atacar más al género 'débil', indefenso de alguna manera... E inevitablemente se me viene este tema a la cabeza:
Por lo que estuve leyendo, a pesar de los planes de acción de los gobiernos contra el problema de la violencia hacia la mujer las estadísticas no son muy alentadoras. Me llamó mucho la atención algunas creativas soluciones que proponen en algunos paises, como el uso de un brazalete antimaltrato. Pero me parece que si bien es muy importante la cura, lo imprescindible es prevenir. Un factor bastante importante es la falta de educación, la ignorancia en la que viven los marginados. Supongo que aquellas mujeres tienen como impronta casi innata el hecho de sentirse inferiores, supongo que son pocas las que no le otorgan al hombre un rol de alguna manera superior. Entonces, este tema escarva en lo más profundo de la estructura social, depende directamente de otros factores sociales más allá de la violencia en sí misma. Claro está que el concepto de justicia es muy pardójico en países como Argentina, pero no se le puede echar toda la culpa a un sistema, aun si es frágil e insuficiente. Más pienso, más me convenzo de que la clave está en la educación, tanto directa como indirectamente... Y en eso tenemos que ver todos, como bien dice una frase que leí por ahí 'El principio de la educación es predicar con el ejemplo'.

And now the six marry murderesses of the cook county jail in their rendition of thecell block tango
*Liz* You know how people have these little habits That get you down. Like Bernie. Bernie like to chew gum. No, not chew. POP. So I came home this one day And I am really irritated, and I'm looking for a bit of sympathy and there's Bernie layin' on the couch, drinkin' a beer and chewin'. No, not chewin'. Poppin'. So, I said to him, I said, "you pop that gum one more time..." and he did. So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots... ...into his head.
*Annie* I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake city about two years ago and he told me he was single and we hit it off right away. So, we started living together. He'd go to work, he'd come home, I'd fix him a drink, We'd have dinner. And then I found out, "Single" he told me? Single, my ass. Not only was he married ...oh, no, he had six wives. One of those Mormons, you know. So that night, when he came home, I fixed him his drink as usual. You know, some guys just can't hold their arsenic.
*June* Now, I'm standing in the kitchen carvin' up the chicken for dinner, minding my own business, and in storms my husband Wilbur, in a jealous rage. "You been screwin' the milkman," he says. He was crazy and he kept screamin', "you been screwin the milkman." And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times.."
*Hunyak* Mit keresek, én itt? Azt mondják, hogy a híres lakem lefogta a férjemet én meg lecsaptam a fejét. De nem igaz, én ártatlan vagyok. Nem tudom miért mondja Uncle Sam, hogy én tettem. Probáltam a rendõrségen megmagyarázni de nem értették meg... June Yeah, but did you do it? Hunyak UH UH, not guilty!
*Velma* My sister, Veronica and I had this double act and my husband, Charlie, traveled around with us. Now, for the last number in our act, we did 20 acrobatic tricks one two three four,five...splits, spread eagles, back flips,flip flops, one right after the other. Well, this one night we were in the hotel Cicero, the three of us, boozin' and havin' a few laughs when we run out of ice. So I went out to get some. I come back, open the door and there's Veronica and Charlie doing Number Seventeen- the spread eagle.
Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out.I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead.
*Mona* I loved Alvin Lipschitz more than I can possibly say. He was a real artistic guy... sensitive... a painter. But He was always trying to find himself. He'd go out every night looking for himself and on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary and Irving. I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences. He saw himself as alive and I saw him dead.
He had it coming Hehad it coming! He only had himself toblame
If you'd have been there If you'd have heard it I betcha you would Have done the same!
Rhetoric in Ancient Greece began with Tisias and Corax. The story goes that Corax was the rhetorical teacher of Tisias. Corax told Tisias that he will have to pay for the lessons, if he was able to win his first case. If he lost, that would prove that Corax hadn't taught him well enough, then he would be acquitted of paying for the lessons.
When lessons were completed, Tisias decided to take legal actions against Corax not to pay for the lessons.
Beethoven hat die Abschrift zu seinem letzten Streichquartett op. 135 im Oktober 1826 selbst angefertigt. Erstaunlich: Er schrieb das Werk in Einzelstimmen ab - in dieser Lebensspanne kommt das relativ selten vor und ist eigentlich ungewöhnlich für Beethoven. Alle vier Stimmen tragen über dem letzten Satz die Überschrift "Der schwer gefaßte Entschluß", versehen mit dem berühmten Text- und Notenmotto "Muß es sein?" - "Es muß sein!". Der Pariser Originalverleger des Streichquartetts, Maurice Schlesinger, berichtete Ende 1850er Jahre von einem Begleitschreiben Beethovens, das dieser bei Postsendung der Abschrift beigelegt habe. Darin wird sowohl das Motto begründet als auch erklärt, warum Beethoven selbst und nicht ein Kopist das Quartett abschrieb. Der Originalbrief sei bei einem Wohnungsbrand vernichtet worden. Aus dem Gedächtnis hielt Schlesinger Beethovens Wortlaut fest: "Sehen Sie, was ich für ein unglücklicher Mensch bin, nicht nur, dass es was schweres gewesen es zu schreiben, weil ich an etwas anderes viel grösseres dachte, und es nur schrieb, weil ich es Ihnen versprochen und Geld brauchte und dass es mir hart ankam können Sie aus dem es muss sein.... entziffern, aber nun kommt noch dazu, dass ich wünschte es Ihnen in Stimmen der Deutlichkeit für den Stich halber zu schicken und in ganz Mödlingen finde ich keinen Kopisten, und da habe ich es selbst kopiren Müssen, das war einmahl ein sauber Stück Arbeit! Uf es ist geschehen. Amen."(BGA 2224. Beethoven an Maurice Schlesinger in Paris, Gneixendorf, 30. Oktober 1826).
