Does Lidocaine Cream Cause Vasoconstriction

If Valparaíso ceased to exist

First, a jewel. The poem, "Man hitchhiking" by Galway Kinnell (1927 -):


After a silence, the driver, a salesman
Insurance Company
Travellers on the road to Topeka, I asked, "What was that? "
I dressed in my uniform naval
useful to the war and even finger was over,
said, "It seems that running over a man."
In fact he knew. His round face opened in surprise as

bounced off the bumper. I watched from the darkness.
"Why did not you say something?". The seller gave a halt.
"I thought you'd seen it," he said.
do not know why, but I know I came
would have been able to accompany this man
all the way to Topeka
without mentioning it.
opened his door and looked back.
I did the same. Back, lying on a berm,
under the glow of an old lantern, he looked a body. Another man
reviewed. For a moment
I was, at one time,
bent over the body of my father.
man stood and shouted, "Forget it. In this
trample him all the time. " He was a drunk.
What a relief. All the rest of the way until dawn on
Kansas,
nobody said not a word, until the clerk
left on my door.
"Thanks," I said.
"Nothing."

A masterpiece. Has craft, drama, humor, surprise, risk and vulnerability. I have not read it. But on Thursday he needed. I looked at the Cemetery No. 1 in my office., Thinking great characters buried there. Behind the tower of the Lutheran Church with its crucifix of bronze, which, right now, wearing a feathered bird unknown. To his left, the most impressive skyscrapers of the historical: the Araucaria Institute of Music PUCV. On my desk, a story: the revelations of fraud cases to the Treasury.

The poem is, among other things, the silent complicity. As human beings react when no one is watching. No judgments. For Gore, leaving this to the audit and the courts. However, I wonder if educated men are raised from one day to another, and decide, "I'll be a criminal." I sense that the process is more subtle, the result of a long process of frustrated ambitions and dreams trampled.

And is not the only case. Since the '90s, we saw how the City of Valparaiso became a box favors. "Your son needs a job? Do what I can. Thank you for your vote. " As an inheritance to those years of complicit silence, our current mayor was a municipality that employs 1200 people.

indignation is not enough to these facts. All have taken shortcuts when no one is looking. If we want Valparaiso arises, if we stop being the capital of shamelessness, if we want to match Great People of the cemetery, we must start from within.
