VOTE QUALIFIED

A sociopolitical proposal for democracy in Latin America.

By Alfredo Gevara

It beggars belief that any possibility to get to eradicate (at least in part) the ignorance of people when they have their own power of decision, do not know what to do with "can not read or write?. For me life circumstances "touched" to teach these individuals as marginalized. The aver ¬ gonzo I've seen some other happy for the opportunity to get out of the darkness, deprivation of ideas or knowledge.

My proposal Socio-political: "the qualified vote" .-

Question: What secretes this vote to the citizen?

Answer: Of course not!

Question: How is "the system?

Answer: the qualified vote is divided into three (3) parts as its name indicates: GRADING. The dictionary says the Royal Spanish Academy that :...? is to take for something good or bad according to their qualities?. Establish ¬ Enno. Try some nobility. "

Question: Answer;

Why i divide it into three (3) parts?

For Civics knowledge of each person ¬ na. For the little or much interest that the citizen has to "learn". Want to know that a deputy, a ¬ puter is, how the Congress, which has responsibility a Minister, a mayor, a governor, the President of the Nation, and so on.

Question: Answer:

I repeat: Why divide it into three (3) parts?

Because according to socio-political understanding that - (and following a few simple questions in a survey,) the government of the day go ¬ may reach simple conclusions about how the people are prepared to "throw his vo ¬ to in the box" undoubtedly knew, without a vote "sung" (much less in your pocket or the bag of Don Jose or in the portfolio of Doña Juana. because they gave the vote "this or that" - unable to read or write) and express this without prejudice to any political party. Are the "illiterate" of this or that party? - No! Of course not. People are politically engaged in all areas or strata.

Question: So the proposal by the qualified votes: secretes?

Answer: Absolutely not. Continued explaining. It is divided into three (3) parts. Thus:

. Vote "A" (worth 3 points)

. Vote "B" (worth 2 points)

. Vote "C" (worth 1 point)

The Vow "C" and the lowest score would be given to Aque ¬ tThe people "can not read or write" (those that go with the vote "sung" they give you a trickster who "abuses" of their low social sphere -economic and gives to the poor citizen desperate, loud noises in your stomach "vacuum" with little ability to reason, handing it some clothes or something * co ¬ mer) But to continue: This citizen of 1 (ONE) single point has rights and obligations. Like any human being inserted into a hand ¬ civilized and advanced society of the First World (as we say).

Right to get to "be" a citizen to vote "A" of THREE (3) points ¬ cough. Obligation to "learn" in Schools-Democratic Civic Education (or whatever you call it) to read and write. A dignified. A nest. A rise in his political ideas over all things.

Question: After having gone to that school of civic education may reach Vote Democratic "A" of THREE (3) points?

Answer: It is now the citizen (after learning to read to write) to Vote "B" is worth two (2) points.

Question: And there it all end?

Answer: No! - Certainly not. - Can not stop the natural impulse of human progress. Of his own will and choice the "illiterate" and it is no more, has lost its status as such and entered the wonderful world of knowing things, get informed, "discerning" entering the correct judgments, not only in political field ¬ tico, but also learn to distinguish things that differ from each other. So "discernment" not only corresponds to the thing itself, but to all appearances, that can make mistake with others, for what we call "distinctive knowledge". So yes: you can get to finish school first and then pay ¬ mary consideration in matters of Education (Civic which reliably be approved after passing the citizen to vote category "A" THREE (3) points that is "embedded" in their National Identity Document for further proceedings ¬ elected Rales.

Question: Does this mean that every citizen who can read and write goes to the category "A" (three points)?

Answer: Absolutely not. And quite the contrary. Engineers, Doctors. Graduates, all kinds of professional would be in Category Opinion, "B" (two points).

Question: Does not it seem somewhat unfair that assessment too "rebellious?.

Answer: I think that this question is worth a deeper correction bas ¬ tant. Insurrection is the state that is a town after it has risen and is armed to fight the authority to which he was submissive, and who publicly declares that it acknowledges legitimate. To answer your question, nothing is further from the truth. The proposal by the qualified votes would be implemented through the Establishment (the English term applied to a set of ethnic politics, and leadership, having a common goal of personal gain or to a group of people). I repeat: the common good above all things. And patriotic and legitimate participation because it also civic (patriotism indicates the attachment, affection, love of country. The patriot is someone who loves their country, their nation, is the virtue in action.

Civility indicates that sentiment is bound by social ties to their fellow citizens and serves them by all means at its disposal.

Patriotism is displayed on boards and in the fields of battle, on all occasions that need to serve their country.

Civility is shown in all the circumstances of life, in all cases to question selfless services to its citizens.

Delete the word "insurgent" as is well explained and clarified the etymology (origin of review) words. What about the professionals who are in the category "B" (2 points)? Do not ¬ zan advanced?

Yes move! Progress. Forward. Perfected. Provided they are willing to submit to the same rules as class "C" (1 point) ... Go to School of Education C? VICA-Democratic. Being a professional or a qualified not to know about governmental views, ie policy (is ¬ ta be a set of pure principles which serve as standard for the government of a country) is for this reason they will have to take tests to have its qualified voting "A" (3 points). And then yes, all prepared, two for any kind of civic elections, whether municipal ordinances, provincial or national. Without an extensive list (called "sheets") with names of "famous" unknown and our understanding of "chant", "cheats" and "Opportunistic" Chando ¬ APROVE current electoral system other dark and gloomy dark-not help anything and anyone to ¬ two citizens of our beloved country.

Do not think your "test" or "proposal", given the current circumstances being experienced by our society as a whole, are too many ideas ... "lyrics??.

It's true. It is wrong in that term, since that adjective said of the works in "verses" are not epic or dramatic, and in which the poet sings his own emotions and ideas. And therein lies the key to the qualified vote. In the wonderful world of "affections? (To our fellow citizens) and precious" universe of ideas. "Overall, freedom of ideas" just "thoughts" fine "and imaginations" ¬ TES shine. "

We must (and can) take "conscience." That our natural feelings, intelligence and acquire study of good and evil, of right and wrong, what we should do good and evil that we must flee, constitutes what is usually called consciousness. Well, the man in all its expression needs to know, to reason and also ¬ also to judge. Because the judge is to discern good and evil

Which professes justice freely, the limits of freedom of an individual are the same as say the freedom of another, or the rights of the community.

God himself and thus considered sacred inviolable freedom of the human soul. We must be tolerant of all political parties. The free will of choice in political and social causes more truthful, more candid, more honorable and less iri fair. No man in particular, neither the nation my ma ¬ have the right to deprive our citizens of the ability to progress physically, spiritually and intellectually, but we must be men with God's instruction. With the most complete toleration for all individuals and political organizations to protect the much abused "justice."

So what will YOU. you put the bell the cat? (as they say in the jargon "Creole").

Answer: No, not me. Neither John. Neither Peter. Neither Dona Juana. Some time ago I visited our country, Buenos Aires through political scientist Joachim Sartorius, German specialist in cultural policy. This prolific idealistic graduate of the University of Munich, reflects on the possibilities for integrating the culture of a fractured world (Diario Clarín, Tuesday 3-SET-96-Page. 17 "Opinion").

We must work for the qualified vote from the grassroots. From "neighborhood district." Who better than our neighbors know political candidates? Who better than our neighborhood representatives to vote for municipal Conejal? And finally: When will the day come to rank the illiterate of "our country". ?

The "ideas" are given. The chances of an open-mindedness on the part of government would be given ... but who is the first to put the "bell the cat?". I want to. But I can not. Can you dear reader? Or UD. councilman, congressman, senator, politicians in general, yourself or Mr. President? No matter what city councilman, congressman or senator or president. No political barriers. Someone who fights for the Common Good To the illiterate. We take advantage of it. They also have the right to live with dignity. Anyone not build on ignorance of the other. We magnify the service of others. In DAR. And, as Amado Nervo in poetic expressions: "Every man who seeks you going to ask you something?.

"The rich boring, the amenity of your conversation, The poor, your money, comfort the sad, the weak, a stimulus that struggle, moral support, Every man for you, for sure going to ask you something;

And you dare impatient!

You dare to think! What a bore! Unhappy í!?

The hidden law that delivers excellence mysteriously, has deigned to grant you the privilege of privilege, the right of property, the prerogative of the prerogatives i YOU CAN GIVE!.

In few hours in the day, you give;-even a smile, even if * a handshake, even a word of encouragement! ... Truly, I say, better to GIVE than I have taught literacy recibir. custom- on several occasions, and I know their faces tanned, worn by the bad weather and lack of care, some embarrassed by his "advanced age to learn to read and write. Asking" apologies ¬ sive expression with eyes not reaching time with an "edu ¬ cation formal", as the "rules" of society. I've seen those eyes shine with simplicity in its "ability to achieve finally deasombro distinguish the letter" i "from" e? and that Dad does not write just like Mom. That some do not have glasses to "start" minimally to distinguish the letters.

That also grateful smile and when given some 'old glasses like our deceased grandmother. That was kept in a dresser drawer or on the bedside table in our family home. And mom (already dead several years ago our father) "grumbling" guys!, Shouted from a distance and in the yard washing clothes:

- Alfredo - what are you rummaging in the drawer of the wardrobe. And one and "big boy" and children "back", he replied: - Nothing mom. - Looking for Grandma's glasses Maria .- Those who used the "frameless glass" and the linker and 14-karat gold pin. And our mother resigned, but a little "prejudiced" by ignoring certain "details without informing," he replied: Have you gone "materialistic * now? That!

- Have you gone "crazy" running behind inflation? - No mom what happens is that I am teaching a "couple? Of illiterates to read and write and I need glasses to the grandmother, Maria * And back to" crush "the breast. - Has four (4) daughters and I will raisins "paveando?, wasting time" nonsense? - Why do not you worry about your family and let others, especially the government to take care of the illiterate? How can explain - dear reader - that on the glasses grandmother, my mother, my daughters, the government, there is a love that binds me to civic my fellow citizens. I have seen the place my vote in the ballot box to those embarrassed faces. Part of the Heart. It hurts. Very deep. Who puts the "bell the cat"?

ONE THING is counted. Another is to live it.
