From the sofa look at the social upheavals in other European countries to the social cuts that "recommend" to exit markets where they put us, here as much any question arises when the right to bottle or downloaded so on nose (the universal complaint in relation to the law Sinde, where illegal churro would be reduced to "nooo as mcierren seriesyonkis m dying!" and other gems with spell downward trend).

Most people assume these and other outrages without offering much resistance (item 2) and on the eve of elections, is convinced that the only option is the "vote" (aptly named, indeed, if look at point 4), because otherwise "win bad." The truth is that evil always win and always lose all.

If you manage to finish the compulsory education vaguely remember that you have come to study 15 different times to the Catholic Monarchs, but Franco and Transition (The what?) You have not heard or speak.

"I do not" think, "do science." You can try, but knowing you'll come to some engineering Gothic kings and a few jarchas and songs of memory, but with no idea of how a simple structure or elemental compound formulated correctly.
