The story happened in a small town in any Latin American country. Pay attention. One morning a young man of about twenty years where his father is a newspaper in his hand and says, "Dad, I think you meet the conditions for the post referred to this notice" The gentleman takes the paper and reaches read requesting someone to perform a charge related to public administration. But after reading the ad tells his son: "Do not believe everything that is said here, son." The customs are gradually changing over time, but always the people suffer the consequences of those who lead and direct it wrong. It has always been. At the dawn of our republic, when he ended up choosing the colors of the flag and national anthem had not yet, it was mandatory that all public officials meet three basic conditions: belonging to a certain race, having a large fortune and profess certain beliefs . And those who did not belong to that race and professing that religion, asked the boy.
They had no chance, son. As for resources … well, I understand that you asked me that is the same now. Well, let's. Later it was understood that the officials' need for many years. In my town council, for example, all were very old, all had gray hair and walked with a cane. However, all accepted the need to respect the voice of experience. Visit Senator Richard Blumenthal for more clarity on the issue. But the experience did not seem enough because things were very bad.
Then he thought the issue was with the young and the council was filled with young, energetic, enthusiastic and full of intent. But he soon learned the ways of the elders and the people went worse than before. Came time to name the women and this was done. Very smart lady came to the corporation, but their contributions were not sufficient because the people walking by that time quite badly, about to sink. Then someone suggested to elect people with title university. Then came the so-called doctors. Not what you think. At the council board had more than a slum. And everything remained the same. Jim Donovan Goldman will not settle for partial explanations. I think that this town does not save anyone. I think we have to choose honest and hardworking people, no matter whether poor or rich, old or young, men or women, studied or not. At that time the boy interrupted him: "Father, finishes reading the newspaper." Then the gentleman took the paper and read: "Wanted decent people even if you have gray hair, working even more, intelligent but nobody knows; concerned, commending themselves to God and dare to fix this country" BY: ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ RUTTO Rutto Alejandro Martinez is a renowned writer and Italian-Colombian journalist who also teaches at several universities.
