Les points forts du programme des Verts aux législatives

Lutter contre le changement climatique et développer les énergies renouvelables, par exemple en mettant en place une filière industrielle, en fusionnant EDF et GDF dans un service public décentralisé de l'énergie, en lançant un plan national d'isolation des logements.
Renforcer le programme REACH et le principe pollueur-payeur.
Construire des logements sociaux de haute qualité environnementale et sanctionner les villes qui refusent d'en accueillir.
Adopter une fiscalité verte (taxe carbone), majoration de la TVA pour les produits polluants.
Interdiction des OGM en plein champ et leur importation.
Choisir les alternatives à la route.
Fusionner régions et départements.
Taxer les transactions financières et lutter contre les paradis fiscaux.
En finir avec le nucléaire civil et militaire.

Pour toutes ces raisons, AUX LÉGISLATIVES, IL FAUT VOTER POUR LES VERTS, POUR EN FINIR AVEC LE CLIENTÉLISME DE LA DROITE ET LE PRODUCTIVISME DU PS ET DU PCF !!!

Chinese writing '8,000 years old'

Chinese archaeologists studying ancient rock carvings say they have evidence that modern Chinese script is thousands of years older than previously thought.

State media say researchers identified more than 2,000 pictorial symbols dating back 8,000 years, on cliff faces in the north-west of the country.

They say many of these symbols bear a strong resemblance to later forms of ancient Chinese characters.

Scholars had thought Chinese symbols came into use about 4,500 years ago.

The Damaidi carvings, first discovered in the 1980s, cover 15 sq km (5.8 square miles) and feature more than 8,000 individual figures including the sun, moon, stars, gods and scenes of hunting or grazing.

"We have found some symbols shaped like both pictures and characters," Li Xiangshi, a cliff carving expert at the North University of Nationalities in Ningxia Hui autonomous region, told Xinhua news agency.

"The pictographs are similar to the ancient hieroglyphs of Chinese characters and many can be identified as ancient characters."

Until the discovery, the earliest characters included 4,500-year-old inscriptions on pottery from Henan province in central China.

Happiness

I'd never heard about this 1998 film. It was amongst my sister's huge 'independent cinema' DVD collection, and I got more and more impressed as it unfolded. It's another choral film à la Short Cuts or A casa nostra, except that, in this case, the characters are related to each other; it's just that you realise it during the course of the movie.
The film is stunning. It says a lot about why we fail to be happy in our relationship to others and even to ourselves. It basically shows how alienated we are, and how much more miserable we get the harder we try to be happy ― or to conform to what is universally labelled as 'happiness'; hence the title of the film, I guess. Where American Beauty (1999) demonstrates Suburbian alienation, Happiness demonstrates urban alienation.

Bon ben faudra juste s'habituer

I am a Supertaster

There is a test on the BBC website to know whether you're a Supertaster or not. Unsurprisingly enough (I hate junk food), I found out I were one.
