MEMORIES OF MY INFANCY

Time and time again I am silent, reminding me of one of the most important phases of our lives, childhood. It is a stage where we can do almost everything, phase where we are actors, inventors, poets, stage such that no liability to worry about.

It is a delicious step for those who lived and took advantage. I remember many games that today's generation do not even know existed.

Play as tying milk cans or bottles of bleach to one after another, pretended to be a car or a scania, make a hole in the middle of two milk cans nest and put a nylon rope and use as a shoe can, cut a piece of board with four ball bearings to create a scooter with an old tricycle wheel and a piece of iron with the tip bent to create a handlebar, tying rubber bands camera air tire in the fork of a tree branch turning a slingshot, a chunk of iron with a sharp tip to stick foot marbles balls, hitting tin, football , soldier in the quarter under review, guerror, took touch, detective, etc. set of letters.

I remember the 70 years when sunday at wide Curuzú we organized our traditional football tournament between the teams in the Pacific, Bahia, Victoria and Palmeiras. It was a festive day where we would gather to play ball, the street was adorned with sand and marked the boundaries of the field, the goals were scored with tufts of grass. Neighbors and friends were concentrated upon the rides to twist in the end it was a fun day on Sunday. In the late afternoon after the bath we were to review the outcome of the games sound a mockery rolled loose with the joy of the winners and the losers cry, but all in all the strength of our friendship was celebrated. We were normal children and adolescents, we respected our parents and neighbors and we had fun enormously. It was a time when we were having benediction, we gave satisfaction to the neighbors, when we asked where we were going, we offered a place in the dorms for adults as a matter of education and not by decree.

Unlike the current reality of young people, where the vast majority of our children and adolescents has not play more like the old days, or for lack of space and security for their games, or on account of technological advances (video games, computers, internet etc.). enveredament or in the path of crime, with the use and involvement in drug trafficking, culminating in the deaths unfortunately the majority of young people and the rampant violence in our country. Despite all the dissemination of news through the media about deaths of young people, on account of involvement in the criminal world and specifically in the drug world, the numbers of this statistic has increased alarmingly becoming a social problem, and why not security National.

It is the obligation of society be outraged with this reality of our parliamentary and charge an urgent change in our laws (penal code and ACE), making them harder and more severe, both for adults and for young people and stop the demagoguery and existing hypocrisy on the part of influential people in government.

These attitudes actually happening I believe has enormous prospects save me chances of young people today and certainly the next generation, offering a better quality of life for most of the population and especially the poorest of her that requires a further assistance from the powers public.
