boustrophedon. What a word that, word! I already knew her, but I didn’t remember her. And my four readers are not going to believe it: last night she suddenly appeared to me in my sleep, as if she were written on the wall. I immediately turned on the light and pointed it out, lest I forget it again. This exotic word comes from two Greek terms: bous, which means ox, and stréphein, which means something like return, turn around, return. The word designates a form of writing that consists of writing a line from left to right and the next from right to left, in the way that the plow traces a furrow in one direction and the next in the opposite direction. Such a way of writing, boustrophedon, was used by Leonardo da Vinci in some of his notebooks.
I now descend to lower ground. In a meeting, Doña Molota boasted about the skills of Manila, her daughter. “She is ambidextrous -said she-she. She can write with both hands; with both she uses the cutlery on the table; she puts on makeup with either of the two hands”. “She’s right,” Manila’s boyfriend confirmed very seriously. “And she can do other things with both hands.” (I assume she was referring to knitting, playing the piano, clapping, etc.).
King López, that is, AMLO, has the National Electoral Institute besieged and under siege. If he manages to take it, he will not only attack that citizen institute: he will also seriously harm democracy and cause immeasurable damage to Mexico. Great efforts and sacrifices of many Mexicans were needed to take away from the State the power to organize the elections, carry them out and make their results known. López Obrador intends to annul that civic conquest. His electoral reform tends to strengthen his personal power, as well as the dominance of his regime and his party. We would return to the times of the PRI. The exercise of democracy by citizens was what allowed AMLO to become President of Mexico. It is therefore surprising that he is now virulently attacking the institution that guarantees the exercise of democracy, to the point of trying to destroy it with proposals such as the one that the people elect the electoral councillors, an initiative that is not democratic, but rather demagogic, since it leaves the electoral body in the hands of the majority party, with a decrease in the impartiality that should preside over the work of that Institute. Only the blind supporters of AMLO do not realize that we are on the way to a dictatorship, and not even a party dictatorship, as was the PRI, but a personal dictatorship, the one that López Obrador will hold through an intermediary. Our poor country, whose main ruler, far from being a democrat, is an enemy of democracy.
An environmentalist is someone who, when listening to the story of the sinking of the Titanic, asks: “And what damage did the iceberg suffer?”
The young Naturio went to confession with Father Arsilio. He arrived making a sound like little bells, as if an angel with silken hands at my little window was playing a madrigal, a madrigal. The good priest asked him: “What are those little bells for?” The subject explained: “I wear them on my ankles, sir priest. I love Our Lord’s little ants so much that I’m afraid to step on one when I walk, and I wear those little bells to warn them of my passing.” “Moving foresight,” the priest said, “now tell me your sins.” “Accuse me, father,” declared the individual, “that I impregnated five girls from the town.” “What a barbarity!” Father Arsilio uttered angrily. “You should put on your little bells somewhere else, wretch!” FINISH.
LOOKOUT
By Armando SOURCES AGUIRRE.
The seven deadly sins were chatting animatedly in a room.
It was there, of course, Pride, which is the mother of all the others.
There was Lust.
there was envy,
There was Gluttony,
There was the anger.
There was Sloth.
There was Greed.
In that came ingratitude.
Seeing it, all the deadly sins rushed out of the room, because they did not want to be stained by Ingratitude, which, without being considered a sin, is a greater sin than all sins.
See you tomorrow!…
