"The Brave One" Erica Bain "you become someone else"

"The Brave One" is on my list of great movies as others with Jodie Foster.
Her caracther Erica Bain suffers a violent aggression and with detective Mercer, Terrence Howard, the movie raises numerous questions.
I'll leave this quote to summarize what Erica has been through:

Detective Mercer: How did you... pull it back together after what happened to you?
Erica: You don't
Detective Mercer: I'm sorry.
Erica: No, no.
Detective Mercer: Jacked-up question, man.
Erica: It's a fair question. You... you become someone else. A stranger.

Computer out of order

My computer decided to stop working. I believe it was intentional.
It did it just to make me angry.
I'll not let it win.
I'm at peace, son of a gun!

Catch a falling star...



I know that you must not pay too much attention to this song. As it is not part of my culture
I have a different relationship with it for I didn't hear it as a lullaby. One of the perks of not having English as a mother tongue.
It is sweet for me.

Dictatorship according to Muammar Gaddafi













"All political systems in the world today are a product of the struggle for power between alternative instruments of government. This struggle may be peaceful or armed, as is evidenced among classes, sects, tribes, parties or individuals. The outcome is always the victory of a particular governing structure - be it that of an individual, group, party or class - and the defeat of the people; the defeat of genuine democracy.

Political struggle that results in the victory of a candidate with, for example, 51 per cent of the votes leads to a dictatorial governing body in the guise of a false democracy, since 49 per cent of the electorate is ruled by an instrument of government they did not vote for, but which has been imposed upon them. Such is dictatorship. Besides, this political conflict may produce a governing body that represents only a minority. For when votes are distributed among several candidates, though one polls more than any other, the sum
of the votes received by those who received fewer votes might well constitute an overwhelming majority. However, the candidate with fewer votes wins and his success is regarded as legitimate and democratic! In actual fact, dictatorship is established under the cover of false democracy. This is the reality of the political systems prevailing in the world today. They are dictatorial systems and it is evident that they falsify genuine democracy."
