Si el mundo es feo.
Qué puedo aprender de él.
Acaso no me esté dando demasiada información para la paz y el desarrollo.
Con qué esquemas voy a actuar. Toda la policía se ha puesto al servicio del sistema.
Las sociedades no son cada vez más multiculturales ni pluriétnicas. Son sociedades de unos pocos ricos y muchos pobres.
Nos dicen que toleremos todas las reformas liberales y ellos aplican la violencia salvaje.
EL ENEMIGO SON LOS OTROS
No se puede convivir,
intentaremos sobrevivir.
DE LA LECTURA DE LA CULTURA
Los ricos no leen o no se enteran de lo que leen. Como a los demás mortales que saben calcular solo les aprieta el bolsillo.
Es una falacia decir que todos los seres humanos son iguales y que algunos en aras del dinero no se han manchado y perdido su dignidad que siempre es algo particular. Sea su pago y perdón la justa condena moral, social y divina.
El capitalismo es un sistema económico y político pero desequilibrado. No es democrático con sus armas.
LA SOCIEDAD
Cómo vamos a educar a los ciudadanos para que realicen lo positivamente valioso.
EL GUIRIGAY DE LA DEMOCRACIA
Quién defiende la Democracia.
La libertad es individual y la democracia es colectiva.
La democracia como la libertad no se da, no se otorga, se construye día a día en cada uno de nosotros y en nuestro entorno.

DON JUAN MANUEL (1347)
Man of letters who has been called the most important prose writer of 14th-century Spain.
The infante Don Juan Manuel was the grandson of Ferdinand III and the nephew of Alfonso X.
He began his political life at ann early age fighting against the Moors when only 12 years old and the rest of his life was spent deeply involved in the political intrigues of his time.
Don Juan Manuel is best known for his Libro de los enxiemplos del conde Lucanor et de Patronio (1328-35, Count Lucanor) a treatise on morals in the form of 50 short tales, in which Count Lucanor asks questions of his counsellor. The work was written in a lucid and straightforward manner with an informal and personal prose style almost completely free of the usual ornate language of the day. Its form in many ways anticipated by several years Boccaccio´s Decameron (1349-51) and greatly influenced the development of Spanish prose, setting a standard for writers who followed.
Of Manuel´s 12 books, several are lost. Outstanding among his extant works are Libro de los estados (The Book of States) a treatise on politics and Libro del caballero y del escudero (The Book of the Knight and the Squire) a treatise on society.

SAINT ISAAC JOGUES (1647)
Jesuit missionary who sacrificed his life for the Christianization of North American Indians.
He entered (1624) the Society of Jesus at Rouen, France, was ordained in 1636 and was assigned to Canada.
For six years in the Huron lands near Georgian Bay he instructed and aided the Indians.
In 1641 he began the Jesuit missions to the Ojibwa tribe at Sault-Ste.-Marie. The following year warring Iroquois captured him, his companion René Goupil and a Huron band near Montreal and brought them to Ossernenon where Goupil was slain. Jogues was slaved for 13 months.
Aided by the Dutch of nearby Ft. Orange (Albany) he escaped down the Hudson River becoming the first priest to visit New Ansterdam (now New York City).
On Christmas of 1643 he reached France where he had been presumed dead. In 1645-46 he was sent by the government to Ossernenon to establish peace between the French and the Mohawk Indians. But when he arrived at Ossernenon the Mohawks accused him of witchcraft, murdered him and placed his head on a pole for public display.
In 1930 Jogues and seven other North American martyrs were canonized by Pope Pius XI, their feast day being September 26.

CHAUNCEY JEROME (1847)
Inventor and clockmaker whose products enjoyed widespread popularity in the mid-19th century.
Learning the carpenter´s trade early in life he spent his leisure time making dials for grandfather clocks and was employed in 1816 by a clockmaker at Plymouth, Conn.
Later he started his own business peddling clocks from farmhouse to farmhouse.
The bronze looking-glass clock he designed in 1824 became popular; he then formed a company that soon became the leader in clock production with branches in Virginia and South Carolina in addition to the main plant at Bristol, Conn.
About 1838 Jerome invented the one-day brass movement, an improvement over the wood clock. Applying the mass-production techniques of U.S. inventor Eli Whitney, Jerome flooded the U.S. with low-priced brass clocks. His clocks quickly spread to Europe and so astonished the English that "Yankee ingenuity" became a byword.
In the 1850s Jerome became associated with unethical businessmen, his company failed and he died in poverty.

JJ COUPLING
OR STRONG SPIN-ORBIT COUPLING
In nuclear and atomic physics, specific interdependence existing among the constituent subatomic particles in a nucleus (protons and neutrons) or in an atom (nucleus and electrons) that determines the total angular momentum.
In jj coupling, it is assumed that the predominant interaction is between the spin angular momentum and the orbital angular momentum of the same individual subatomic particle and that these two must be combined to yield the total angular-momentum quantum number j of the individual particle before the individual j´s are added in turn to obtain the total angular-momentum quantum number of the specific nucleus or atom.

JOAB (974 BC)
In the Old Testament (II Sam.).
Jewish military commander under King David, his mother´s brother.
He led the commando party that captured Jerusalem for David and as a reward was appointed commander in chief of the army.
He played a leading part in many of David´s victories and led the loyal force that crushed the rebellion of David´s son Absalom.
Believing he knew David´s interests better than David himself did, he killed Absalom, althoug David had commanded that his life be saved.
Joab showed his characteristic ruthlessness in the treacherous murder of two of his potential rivals Abner and Amasa.
During David´s last days Joab supported David´s son Adonijah´s abortive bid for the throne and was executed by the successful Solomon.

J(ohannes) HANS D(aniel) JENSEN (1947-74)
Joint recipient with the U.S. physicists Maria Goeppert Mayer and Eugene P. Wigner of the Nobel Prize of Physics in 1963 for explaining the detailed characteristics of atomic nuclei.
According to their explanation known as the shell theory, a nucleus should be thought of not as a random motion of neutrons and protons about a point but rather as a structure of shells or spherical layers of differing radii, each of which is filled with neutrons and protons.
Jensen served on the faculty of the University of Hamburg from 1936 to 1941. He then joined the Institute of Technology in Hannover, leaving in 1949 to become professor at the University of Heidelberg.
Mayer, Wigner and he proposed their nuclear shell nodel in 1949. Jensen collaborated with Mayer in writing Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure (1955).
