Dave Adieu!

The news reached us on the road. We were superior to just about whether we should buy the Jayco (next entry), because we had previously seen in Temecula, or not. On a long exchange of views reflective silence. And it is in this silence Benoit's phone beeped. Or rather, it bluppte , because if he gets an SMS, then it makes Blip , as if a drop falls from the tap into the pool. He takes the phone (which is really not his style), reading and suddenly I heard him exclaim "Oh no, Sch ... no, that may not be true! He hands me the phone and I read the message: Dave died last night. It was his 48th Birthday . Benoit next to me groaned and I only had one wish, namely to take over the driving, but in the dense traffic in the middle lanes of 7 was quite impossible. I almost could feel his pain.

Dave was one of the few colleagues with whom Benoit met privately. Many times the two were sailing together and a couple of times with Dave was also one of our family trips on the sailing boat. He was always a pleasant company. On one of these common Sailing the conversation turned to Yann and his enthusiasm for playing the saxophone. When we mentioned that we thought to find him a private tutor Dave told us about his encounter with a young saxophonist, he had heard in Toulouse and was just in San Diego. And so it happened that we have in Julien not only a great saxophone teacher Yann but also a very valuable friend found us. Dave and Benoit have their sailing sometimes talked about how she dreamed of taking a long vacation from work and traveled by sailboat, the world's oceans. In his forties, life seems so long that you can let the dream time. Last year Dave learned that he had Leukemic. The treatments are said to very good, so were all hopeful that he comes back on its feet. But in the last few weeks it seemed steep downhill to go. The end came unexpectedly quickly anyway. He was 2 days before his death at work!

Dave unfortunately had no chance to realize his dream. We will not forget Dave. And he has secretly promised him to live in honor of our dream.

The news came when we were off. We had just to think if we would buy the Jayco (next post) we had seen earlier in the day in Temecula and in this lively exchange of ideas, a thoughtful silence followed. And that's when the phone rang Benoit. Or rather he was blubb like a drop of water falling from the faucet in the sink. He takes his phone and see the message that has just returned (which is not his style for that matter) and suddenly, I hear him exclaim: Me ...! No, it's not true. Oh no! He passes me the phone and I read the message: Dave died last night. It was his 48th birthday . Beside me, I heard moaning Benoit and I wanted one thing, being able to drive, but in the middle of the 7 lanes in heavy traffic was virtually impossible. I felt her pain as if it was mine.

Dave was one of the few colleagues Benoit also saw in private. The two often went sailing together a few times, Dave was with us during our boat trips as a family. He was always an agreeable companion. In a what these outputs, as part of a conversation about the enthusiasm for the saxophone and Yann our intention to find a private teacher, Dave told us about a young saxophonist he had heard play Toulouse, who was currently in San Diego. Thus we found not only a superb teacher Sax Yann but a friend who is very dear. When their boat trips, the two men spoke often of their dreams take a long leave and go around the world by boat. In the forties, life seems long enough for us to take our time to dream. Last year, Dave was diagnosed with leukemia. (Forgive me twisted phraseology). The treatment showed success and everyone was confident he would recover. But in recent weeks, he came down the hill faster. Still, nobody expected an end so quickly. Two days before his death he was still at work. "

Unfortunately, Dave has not had the chance to live his dream. We will not forget. And we have promised him that in his honor, we will live our dream!

Rejoice!

The following article is for my fellow Germans. I talk about the treatment of Germany in the American media. Here, one is full of admiration for the Germans who can rejoice economic growth of 3.5% and an unemployment rate lowest in 18 years but here is the recession that does not really finish and an unemployment rate that has paralyzed the country. I appeal to Germany to celebrate their situation (which is quite the opposite of what they traditionally do.)

Deutschland gehört zu den Ländern nicht Definitiv, über die amerikanische News report much. The lack of war, revolutions, riots, scandals make Germany more technically inattraktiv news. Occasionally we heard from Germany but in the last 2 years, as has been reported on health reform and was the German health care system of several enlightened man presented as an example. I can do with my life experience in four countries confirm. Of course everything could be better and many of you remember the days when it was better and cheaper. But a look outside a harsh light on the reality to which citizens in other countries. Anyone who believes in a privatized System where everyone can choose for themselves whether and how he wants to insure, health insurance would be cheaper (especially young men) ignores the fact that in a privatized system profit is the key word - and nothing at all is more expensive. Without any regulatory disease expenditures increased to astronomical heights.

These days, however, we hear from Germany from a very different reason:

The booming economy, low unemployment rate (lowest in 18 ! Years) attracts attention and admiration on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, as far as I can tell you, and above all the question: how do they do that anyway? The export surplus is one of the reasons. In the past 10 years, exports have doubled German goods. According to the analysis in my Wirschaftsprogramm it is because it Detuschland in many small engineering companies are to design the goods that people want to buy in other countries. Companies retain their good engineers, even in bad times even if only for one day a week to them in better times yet to have on board. The tendency of the Germans, not to get into debt to our ears, protects against massive scale Bankruptcies, people in the arms of the social network drive, where they would pollute the Witschaftsbilanz more.

plays an important role but is accessible to all the training, the high quality of the German vocational training system and the associated quality of German products, which comes back to benefit exports.

Meanwhile, here in California we are trying to digest a Arbeitslosenqote of 12.7% and struggling with the consequences of the ongoing budget cuts.

Our school system, once a model is reduced down from next September to below the vital minimum. What is left of funding for the school will be a principal, teachers, electricity and water. Meanwhile there is a packet of money, with which the school is anything but has to finance, what is important, this includes: co-presidents, secretary travelers, librarians, nurses, janitors, psychologists, social workers and all the programs on basic subjects go (ie sports, art, music, computers, etc). The gifted program and the support for English learners are also fallen victim to the cuts. The U.S., which anyway are already ranked 25th in the PISA study is to gain a further drop in the quality of education is not really afford, but it is simply not a priority in this country. Here, the politicians are fighting vehemently for the right to carry a weapon, the future of their children, compared to "un-American." Who can even send their children to Priatschulen anyway and must then grapple with these issues any further.

So you have a good chance that you probably - another German tradition true - same again seeks to obscure by it with all imaginable Will look for reasons why you have to suffer so. But people, let me give you a tip: Rejoice easy!

shock / Etat de choc

Is it the irony of fate that only a few days after our visit to Tucson, Arizona, and my blog entry about Tombstone was a shooting in Tucson, which helped the town to a sad fame. Target of this shooting, in which 6 people killed, was the democratic parliament, Gabrielle Giffords. Her name was also behind a push of a target Mediencampagne of Sarah Palin. Ironically, the latest victim, a 9-year-old girl who was born on 11 September 2001. The killer, who shot a total of 20 people, was a politically blinded 22-year-old. As in previous massacres in schools and other public places, he had published his sick thoughts and deadly intentions on the internet. I am a long time ago, browsing the web for interesting blogs on such an extreme hate-filled blog of the American right discovered that my hair stood on end.

Unfortunately, the hate-filled rhetoric is not limited to Internet, but haunted in any conceivable form through all available media, including television and radio to newspapers, magazines, Internet to the way to America's popular political forum: Car stickers. Some people are even not existing hateful enough and they make their own which, to their cars so that placard.

political criticism of the incumbent Government is neither new nor in itself a bad thing, on the contrary, it is not only right but the duty of every citizen in a democracy, vigilant to keep your eyes open, so that abuse of power and mismanagement can be revealed in time. Thus the opposition during the Bush era with criticism has not held back. Since the last presidential election, however, the tone has changed noticeably. It started in during the election campaign, which was to end in more toxic and disgusting. What appear then as an act of desperation was, has now become part of everyday life in the United States. It's amazing how easy in this open land lies and misinformation through the media can circulate without anyone being called to account for it. The debate over health reform is for a fabulous example. Facts and information are fear mongering, the awakening of Horroszenarien and the creation of new words (Obama Care) distorted beyond recognition. All this is allowed in the name of free speech and freedom of expression. In this hate-laden air, the boundaries between reality and perception :

political opponents are declared enemies, a policy position will cause an assassination. And this same country wants democracy spread in the world!

When political leaders call with gewaltbeladenem vocabulary in social media on the action, then this is taken as implicit as the blogs of some deluded lunatic. If a politically deluded young man picks up a gun, and proceeds to act, then referred to his disturbed state of mind. The publications by Jared Loughner me seem very reflected, albeit completely off and it is downright out, is well read and educated as he! (See link above)

I n, this raises again the question of weapons of freedom. If only run around so many astray free, then how can you or the right to continue carrying a weapon. How can it be that the right to integrity and security is worth less than that of carrying a weapon. Why is this right can not be restricted at least to the extent that we pass before a test for mental sanity, though, admittedly, but that weapons must not be taken together with the ammunition to meetings in public places?

Sometimes this reality awakens in me the being that we have come to the limits of our own personal freedoms that we the consequences of our own tolerance is no longer the master - as in the ballad of Sorcerer of JW Goethe: "I cried the ghost, I'll not let go. " Against our sacred, cherished freedoms and tolerance can commit any abuse, they even play against us and we are just as powerless and see. Would it not time to reconsider these rights and to the right light, so that they protect our freedom systems instead they are always vulnerable to leave?

Is not it ironic that just days after our visit to Tucson, Arizona and my ticket on a tombstone shooting catapult this city on the front of the stage . target of the shooting that resulted in six dead and 14 wounded, was the Democrat Gabrielle Giffords House. His name was also behind a target on social media of Sarah Palin. The murderer who killed twenty people in all, was a young man of 22 years, politically blind. The irony want the youngest victim was a 9 year old daughter who was born September 11 as was 2001.Et the case of previous massacres in schools and other public places, he had published his ideas unhealthy and deadly intentions on the internet. Looking for interesting blogs, I found it some time ago, on a blog of the American right which was so full of hatred that the hair stood on my head.

Unfortunately, the hateful rhetoric is not limited on the internet. It circulates freely in all media, from TV to radio, through newspapers and magazines to the media and even social on the political forum so dear to Americans: stickers. I saw that lined much of a car and were tampered with, probably because those in sales were not enough hate!

Criticism of the government in office is nothing new nor is it bad. On the contrary: it is not only a right but a duty of every citizen of a democracy to keep your eyes open and stay alert for potential abuses of power management administration in power. And representatives of the opposition Democrat did not mince their words in the era of George Bush. But since the last presidential election the tone has changed significantly. It started already during the election campaign that became increasingly toxic and more visceral she approached the end. But what might appear in time as a cry of despair, has now become everyday language in the USA. It's amazing how lies and misinformation circulating freely in the media without anyone being held accountable. Reform health is exemplary: By means of a fear campaign, the evocation of horror scenarios and creating new words (Obamacare) facts are completely disfigured. And everything is permitted, on behalf of freedom of speech (and the media). In this climate of hatred responsible, the boundaries between reality and perception become blurred: the political adversairers devienent enemas, a political position is a pretext for murder. And this country that wants to spread the démorcatie in the world!

When they are politicians who use a language of violence on their appeals in social media is so easily accepted that some deranged hateful blogs on the web . And when a young crazy politically blinded takes his gun and proceeded to act, it refers to his disturbed mental state. Jared Loughner publications seem very thoughtful, although completely beside his pumps. He even insists how he is educated and literate!

In this context there is, of course, again the question of carrying weapons. If there are many fools who roam how can we still justify the right to bear arms. How is it that the right to public safety has less weight than the right to bear arms. Why can not we limit it at least make passing a psychological test a condition and limit the right to possession of a weapon, but without allowing it to walk with the ammunition and that leads to gatherings in public places.

Sometimes this actually reminds me the impression that we have reached the limits of our individual freedoms that we are no longer masters of the consequences of our tolerance. Like the sorcerer's apprentice of JW von Goethe: "The spirits that I do not want to hear me awake." Everybody seems to abuse our rights and freedoms cherished and even turn against us and we're only watching in silence. Would not it time to rethink and reformulate these rights so that they protect our societies libres au lieu de les laisser devenir de plus en plus vulnérables?

Tombstone in the snow / Tombstone enneigée

We're announced, went to Arizona on New Year's Day. I have prior the weather report looked at and packed accordingly, while Ben has insisted on sun hats and sunscreen, as is proper for Arizona. On the way to Tucson we were followed by rain clouds, and finally almost in Gila Bend also be sought. But that did not matter because we went to the family!

On Thursday we went to Tombstone in Cochise County to the America our children closer to the Cowboys, as we have in San Diego not, here you get a vegetarian, Surfdudes, baseball player, etc, but no cowboys. The first thing we were seeing when we left Tucson, was not, as announced, the Dragoon Mountains where Cochise defeat signed the peace treaty, but to our surprise, snowflakes, who settled down from heaven on the Saguaros, cacti and other Ocotillos. (How it looks like you can see here http://dynamic.azstarnet.com/gallery/index.php?tag=snow ) and which led to the back seat of a storm of enthusiasm. The children of my cousin have that is never seen falling snow. In Tombstone, the 4540 feet high up, stood out even then that they had no idea how cold snow. Thus, from our Tagestour ein Tür-zu-Tür-Marathon, um zu der Kälte beißenden entgehen.

As announced, we went to Arizona for the new year. I had inquired about the temperature before leaving and I made the bags accordingly (when Ben insisted on hats and sunscreen as it should be in Arizona!) On the way we ' is followed up by clouds that eventually catches up to us Gila Bend. But it was not serious, they went to see the family!

Thursday we went to Tombstone to show our children the American cowboys, since we do not in San Diego. Were vegetarians, surfers, baseball players, but not cowboy (the only one he had left for Aquitaine;)).

Now the first thing was not like leaving Tucson announced the Dragoons, mountains or Cochise signed the surrender the peace treaty, but to our surprise, flakes Snow falling from the sky to land on the saguaros, ocotillos and other cacti. Here you can see what AC Air: http://dynamic.azstarnet.com/gallery/index.php?tag=snow . In the back seat they magnified because the children of my cousin had never seen snow fall. They do not know at what point it is cold when it falls so far as we realized upon arriving in Tombstone located in 4540 feet. Thus, our output has turned into marathon door to door to escape the cold.
