The Caño Cristales river is in the La Macarena National and Ecological Reserve Park in Colombia. The river has been referred to as the “river of five colours”, “the river that ran away to paradise,” and “the most beautiful river in the world.”
During Colombia's wet season, the water flows fast and deep, obscuring the bottom of the river and denying the mosses and algae that call the river home the sun that they need. And during the dry season there is not enough water to support the dazzling array of life in the river. But during a brief span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss bloom in a dazzling display of colours. Blotches of amarillo, blue, green, black, and red–and a thousand shades in between–coat the river.

And forget about my tainted heart"

1. The Sixth Sense
The movie was pretty decent but didn’t have much of a plot, and I was wondering where the movie was going to go. And then – bam! Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time.
2. The Usual Suspects
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist".

The film's creepy villain remains elusive through most of the movie until he conveniently decides to show up for one of the most disturbing twist endings ever. Spacey, the killer, leads the detectives (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) out into the middle of nowhere to find the final victim, only to reveal that he is the one who will be killed by Pitt. Why? Because Spacey killed Pitt’s wife, played by Gwenyth Paltrow, to drive him over the deep end.
4. Angel Heart
A much younger Mickey Rourke starts investigating murders in New Orleans, only to discover that he himself made a deal with the Devil himself and is responsible for much of what has happened.
5. Planet of the Apes
Only in the final frames does Charlton Heston realize that is never going to make it back home because… he’s already on Earth!
Justice Secretary Jack Straw has agreed to take part in a debate alongside the BNP on the BBC's Question Time programme.
Nationalism, disguised as patriotism & love of one's country, is an evil. It causes wars; its roots lie in xenophobia & racism. Demagogues know what they are about when they preach nationalism. Hitler said "The effectiveness of the truly national leader consists in preventing his people from dividing their attention, and keeping it fixed on a common enemy"
Nations are artificial constructs, their boundaries drawn in the blood of past wars. And all 'nations' are mongrel, a mixture of so many immigrations & mixing of peoples over time that the idea of ethnicity is largely comical.
Isn't Europe's bloody history in the 20th Century a sufficient argument against nationalism?
