On these days of change in Washington, we need someone who pinches us (the expressions that Michael Moore uses on his letter). We need to remember than on the earth there are many problems and some of them could be resolved by politicians. Politicians who waste millions of dollars on clothes, for the campaign (Do you remember Sarah Palin). Politicians who waste lots of money on Television adverting (Obama bought the most expensive campaign ads on the USA's history).
It’s time for hopes and fears, time for being thoughtful about our future and the future of our sons.
Here I have post a remarkable campaign called “No Hunger”. It is an Action against hunger’s movement to collect money for their mission: save lives by eliminating hunger. It is a difficult mission, yes but somebody could explain me why the governments waste money in absurd wars (probably for fuel) and don’t do anything with the real problems.Maybe all I have said it’s true or maybe I have a bad day. I only wish a change for the USA and another point of view for the powerful people who can change things.

Etiquette
Sunday morning, it’s raining. I have woken up just a few hours ago. This kind of weather makes me feel melancholic and I have just remembered my teenager time when I was studying at the Etiquette School. Today is a good day to explain you some interesting things.
In the past, a gentleman was much appreciated and being gentlemanly was a noble thing. Here are some things that I learn in my Etiquette School:
Always be polite. Be polite and courteous; show that you are better man. Do not speak loudly. When you speak loudly, you have to transmit serenity.
Do not lose your temper. When you lose your temper, you are showing everyone that you can't control your emotions. If you can't control yourself, then how can you possibly control anything else?
Do not interrupt. Let people finish what they are saying before adding your comments. Interrupting others is a sign of poor etiquette and a lack of social skills.
Respect your elders. As you know you should respect others as you would like them to respect you. Today, young people think they know it all. Well, probably they don't. Just think of yourself five years ago... you're much experienced today, aren't you? Aged people have a lot of experience which can help us.
Do not laugh at others' mistakes. It is not necessary.
Remove your hat indoors. This rule seems outdated nowadays. But there are more people who don’t remove it entering a building. And don't put it on at dinner table.
Always open doors. This is perhaps the most basic rule of male etiquette you know. And it is also one of the easiest to follow. Open the door and also hold it open while she or he is entering into someplace…
Put on her coat. Always help a lady put on her coat or similar. This is a simple but powerful action.
Help with her seat. If an unaccompanied lady is sitting next to you, it is basic that you help her to seat by pulling her chair out for her and gently pushing it back into place, while the lady is sitting of course. Probably this is an outdated rule but anyway we can do it.
Give up your seat. If a lady or an elder arrives at the bus or the subway wagon and there are no available seats, please stand up.
I’m sure that you know more tips to define a gentleman. This is only a little list by some examples. I hope you can follow some of them. It can help to live together with harmony.
