Colombians are like stray dogs on the planet. It's in our nature.
Is it worthwhile to repeat the historical versions of the basic textbooks that tell, rather than explain the etymology of the city? I think if applicable based on the scriptures to interpret, in fact, do the religions, so it is legitimate to look at the texts paradigms that make us animals.
There is a coincidence in these works: It is claimed that the English to reach the promised land, known as "Indian" mingled with what were devoid of loincloth India to evangelize this wild new world. The same was done to the black Ethiopian princesses coming less and with the aggravating circumstance that had raged in Europe, which greatly facilitated the submission to the English. The most abundant creatures produced by this pairing is not selective and bitter turn came to procreate with each other, giving birth to three classes of new mutants, so they now call these beings.
The mulatto, the son of the white and black, the mulatto kin of India and black, and the most common inhabitants of English America which was called mestizo, enrazado with Queen Elizabeth and the Aboriginal come from Asia and Alaska. Cute, this country is still something like the kindergarten of the tower of Babel.
History does not always show the version of the defeated, and also hides the addresses of the underprivileged. Many stories did not pass the oral because the authors did not dominate the script, and I mean a few Phoenician or Sumerian empire. Even to date, illiteracy in several regions of Latin America reaches 10%. Are also outside witnesses and protagonists of history that can never be put into words spoken or written, that is the case of dogs, faithful participants and mistreated by developing nation and cultural changes. Where is the man, go dogs and rats. Apparently, the rat has been mixed with the man and created some sub-species of hominid, but this is subject of another essay. The dog is the one who has lived and shifted as man, while if you want to know a company should start by their dogs. Just as a good indicator of economic management in a city is given by the number of taxis in circulation, a measure of organizational culture on a larger scale was verified through the canine population. An average man will seem too much like a mean dog, because they live together and are affected by their historical moment as well.
Thus, the street pragmatic indicated in our specific case, a sense of identity that is finally able to determine commonalities among Colombians: The stray dog. Reasons to support this provision is easily found in the country who are observant, and just as easy to feel a full identification with respect to man's best friend.
The people of this republic tropical, as explained under the historical tradition, come from a racial mixture did not occur in other places, so look for racial or morphological unit is more difficult to score a bicycle kick Oliver Khan. So it is with stray dogs, you watch them carefully find a fun combination unscheduled traits that makes them who they are. Irish Terrier muzzle, German Shepherd hair, short legs, ears chihuahua, one green eye and one brown. Is the same as the mixture: Albinos of Boyacá and Santander, light eyes and blond hair with brown streaks in malnourished children in the coffee-brown Antioquia with jaw jaw that sticks out like a Basque, Arab blood Cadences women on the coast Atlantic with a British breast own sad, dark-skinned peasants and clear gray eyes.
cantinflesca The same combination produces DNA mestizo men of small stature and are "a berriondos" for climbing hills bicycle, people with black lung and sturdy legs of the Indian mining. See the average mutt, animal, short height, little but with enough legs to chase several blocks to a labored gamin who has thrown a stone. Da
happened this comment to include the ability crafty and mischievous of the two animals in comparison. The stray dog \u200b\u200bis not left to die of starvation, looting trash cans and broken black plastic bags to remove a tamale husks or gnawed bones of a roasted chicken that ate a Colombian family hungry. The diet of both is very similar time, and consists of a large dose of carbohydrates, protein eke with which they have to struggle under economic instability that prevents the acquisition of a balanced diet. A unique insight reflects the difference between these two mammals, man and dog: In Colombia, dog eat dog. At least, referring to the animal, it is true, has never seen a "chandoso" kill a Great Dane to devorársele guts and leave after wiping the teeth with a toothpick. On the contrary, I think I saw every day as a Colombian man, provided another insight "kill and eat the dead," that is, of course, giving their respective socio-cultural equivalence, kill other humans to keep their possessions.
If a dog kills another in fair street fight, do it for territorial control, or otherwise self-defense, settling a status of recognition as a leader and player mastiff. A Colombian man can do the same Kill other Colombians sacándoles guts and made public show of it to make territorial domain, if necessary to illustrate this topic, read any book about violence in the country and in particular as regards the massacres in the countryside and the famous courts of the tie or the cut of the iguana or flannel.
Remember that the icon for this country is the "Sacred Heart", a neo-baroque image which depicts a man who has a human heart on the left hand. This is a symbolic country itself.
It is also a country of distance ...
Social, economic and geographic. It is a place where stretches of roads built by humans are measured by a peculiar system: Given the number of dead dogs on the asphalt road. Interestingly, it has never seen a dog run over lying on a dirt road or a secondary country road, while for distances shown on maps as the 468 kilometers between Bucaramanga and Bogota, the number of dogs gutted by private cars, buses and trucks is 29 on average. So if you are a visitor and interested in the absurd idea of \u200b\u200btraveling by road a road trip to this country, should not ask such Ma'am, a few kilometers away is the city of Armenia?, you should ask, "Lord, how is it to hit dogs to Armenia?. Answer will probably not know, but that Armenia is two hours away.
Both Colombian and dogs know the notion of distance in units of length and prefer to give it in units of time. The village is half an hour away, 15 minutes, "2 hours at a good pace", but he is 14 kilometers, 600 meters or 50 miles. So you can say in some rural areas the path that you seek is "3 cigars."
And in any street, sidewalk or block from Colombia, barking dog bites. Human Y-threatening, it hurts. Ignore your instincts and wary of stray dogs foaming at the snout, and drunk on beer foam Eagle also cast by the nose, the two are equally dangerous.
A Colombian feels "proud" of his country, but only when it is outside of him or when in the presence of foreigners. A stray dog \u200b\u200bdoes the same, when other dogs barking menacing strangers want to get on his land. But, look, when they are alone, do nothing but scream and howl, smelling everything and putting rabid mouth and looking toward the sky. And open the door of his house a dog and a Colombian to overcome them: They do it without hesitation and without looking back, they run into the street or Miami, where relevant, but end up coming back later to ask for food after have wallowed in the streets with other dogs. Returning to
average mutt, undefined breed opportunistic and aggressive. This animal likes to walk in groups behind a bitch. I recently saw Natalia Paris signing autographs at a mall and to make it out at last, was full of scratches and saliva product of knights and young people flocked to see her and harass her. Another coincidence then, can be as similar as natural behaviors of our two animals, dog and Colombia. Poor Natalie, not guilty of releasing many pheromones in front of a pack in heat. And on the subject of biological nature, many Colombians and the same stray dog \u200b\u200bdoes not know exactly who is his father. Not his own mother knows. Statistical figures shed light on these animal and human behavior: An estimated 20% of adolescent public school students are pregnant. And recently, I met a man who figures do social work and know that 79% of girls between 13 and 18 years of a certain locality are getting fatter while waiting for the stork, unaware that the storks not travel from Paris to the slums of Colombia. Not only fertile females of the canine race have reproductive problems then ... that is the deduction.
The concept of "public good" is a problem that can not solve dog and Colombians. If picturesque, all expel public monument stench of urine and the fault is not exclusive to dogs. In Bogota it is easier to live 100 years without being docked at a downtown street, to find a public endowment restrooms. Humans and dogs alike share these habits uro-water in urban landscapes.
As for politics, the colonial system still in effect this makes it easy a phenomenon of communion between humans and dogs. To better explain, I shall use the prosaic: All crazy, Nero, recycler or what you call these alienated, is followed closely by a considerable gang of stray dogs, dirty and all the features already mentioned. Swallow this analogy to the policy of the Colombian and will then see that there is no difference, they are followers of any charlatan who promises to change a piece of bread or a refuge, a place for their children or sponsorship of "godson" . Wherever you go crazy dirt, there is going Colombian stray dog \u200b\u200bfollowing him hopeful that he will throw a crust of bread and will defend the police. Note this: "When have you seen a street but not barking threatening to the police? Is another common principle: The ignorance and disobedience to the principle of authority. The only time that dog and citizen of Colombia share together a ceremony that represents the power (the Catholic Mass), there is a confrontation that ends with the exit of the temple by the animal., Usually kicks and insults without show mercy of which is predicated.
However, it seems that we must look at new social indicators when you want to understand the behavior of the Colombian people. This new indicator is given by the quality of life for stray dogs, which show faithfully and closeness to the class representative to the living human. A Colombian animal is more than you think so far, but in return can not be said that a dog tends to be more human than you think, because no human can be a biological entity such as the street but, animals live with animals than he.
