Movie review: Hunger games-Catching fire

I saw the sequel from Hunger games Catching fire.
I wasn't disappointed: good actors, good script, imaginative decor and costumes.
It was more thrilling that the old version.
If we compare Hunger Games with Star Wars trilogy, the first movie was like Star wars 1, and this one "Catching Fire" as "The empire strikes back", but the good guys are winning.
Woody Harrelson as usual creates and interesting and funny character as Haymitch.
The Hunger Games movies made the original books look dull and boring, a rare thing for a movie. 

Un adevar convenabil

Un purtator de cuvant al politie a spus ca incidentele armate de la Cora sunt cauzate de un conflict spontan, dar nu poate spune daca s-au folosit gloante adevarate sau cu bile de cauciuc.
Cum un politist nu stie sa faca diferenta dintre aceste tipuri de gloante?
Si cum poate spune cu siguranta ca a fost un incident spontan?
Oare nu este un adevar util pentru politie? Politia se face ca nu stie nimic despre reglari de conturi intre bande, opinia publica e linistita si uita sa intrebe ministerul de interne de ce nu ii prinde, si pe ministerul justitiei de ce nu ii tine in puscarie.
Cert este ca membrii gastilor nu vor folosi armele numai pentru reglari de conturi.
Slava domnului ca mai sunt si oameni curajosi.
Felicitari omului care a sarit sa-l opreaca pe nemernicul care a tras cu arma.

Who supports China?

I have read today an article,about the China reluctance to help Philippine, who was hardly struck by Haiyan typhoon.
Philippine is a barrier for chinese expansion into South China Sea, so it is seems rational for China to take advantage of his adversary weakness. But not also moral.
The fact that China didn't send necessary help shows that China is ready to use any method to win.
It have been disasters and even enemy states helped: For example Greece helped Turkey when it was an earthquake,in same situation India helped Pakistan.That showed a desire to solve peaceful the conflicts.
Of course the help of USA is not disinterested,Philippine  is an important ally in region.But China is closer and could do more.And it can do more: for example it helped Japan with more resources.
But Japan is a powerful player who's favors you must win, while Philippine is poor country, who you should trample under foot.
China is complaining about imperialistic behavior of the western powers and Japan, but it has the same imperialistic behavior with weaker neighbors.

In the same article the author complain that USA gets a lot of criticism from left wing of politics, and China and Russia are spared of that.
But I don't think that the danger came from left wing politics, but comes from the corporate enviroment.
Who praises China for fast development?
The corporations who dream of thousands of cheap obedient workers, of government who put economic growth before environment and social protection.
The same culture of hard work and pragmatism it is in USA and China. 
If the corporations would rule the world, the world will look like China, with Communist Party included (or 2 parties to assure a rotation to the government and democratic appearance).
If the left didn't existed in USA we would have today 12h labor day, child labor and no social security.
