Durito and one of false choices Durito says that all the multiple options that Power offers hide a tramp.
"Where there are many ways and we are presented with the choice you forget one fundamental thing: all those roads lead to the same. So freedom is not choosing the destination, step, pace, speed, and the company but only choose the road. And yet, the freedom offered by the Almighty is just the freedom to choose who will walk on our behalf, "says Durito.

He says, in fact, the power supply no more freedom than that of choosing among multiple options of death.
nostalgic can choose the model, ie, forgetfulness. This is what is offered, for example, indigenous Mexicans as more suitable for their idiosyncrasies.
Or you can choose the model of modernization, ie the frenzied exploitation. This is what is offered, for example, the middle classes in Latin America as best suited to their consumption patterns.
Or, you can choose the future model, ie the weapons of the XXI century. This is, for example, offer guided missiles in Iraq and that for no doubt his democratic spirit, just kill Iraqis, Americans, Arab Saudi, Iranian, Kurdish, British and Kuwaiti (more nationalities to accumulate in the week).
There are many models, almost one for every taste and preference. Because if something is Neoliberalism is proud to offer an almost infinite variety of deaths. And no other political system in the history of humanity can say the same.
Durito then put a glass of water on the table, made of sticks and tied with vines, and says, "Power says, for example, we have to choose between being optimistic or pessimistic. The pessimist sees the glass half empty , an optimist sees the glass as half full. But the rebel realizes that neither the vessel nor the water it contains, it owns and that is another, powerful, which fills and empties it at will. The rebel, on the one hand, you see the trap, but also sees the source of the rising water. "
" So, when the rebel faces the choice between several ways, look further and look twice : see that these routes lead to the same place, and look to the place where there is no way to go. Then the rebels, rather than distressed by polls that say that one path is better than another because both can not go wrong percent, start building a new road, "he says while handing Durito, on slips of all colors, many "NO" against the U.S. embassies around the world, as everyone knows, look suspiciously like stores selling plastic hamburgers.
