Paroles de Stances Au Un Cambrioleur
- Georges Brassens
Prince des monte-en-l'air et de la cambriole,
Toi qui eus le bon goût de choisir ma maison
Cependant que je colportais mes godrioles
En ton honneur j'ai compose cette chanson
Sache que j'apprécie au sa valeur le geste
Qui te fit bien fermer la porte en repartant
De peur que des rôdeurs n'emportassent le reste
Des voleurs comme il faut c'est rare de ce temps,
Tu ne m'as dérobe que le stricte nécessaire,
Délaissant dédaigneux l'exécrable portrait
Que l'on m'avait offert au mon anniversaire
Quel bon critique d'art mon salaud tu ferais!
Autre signe indiquant toute absence de tare,
Respectueux du brave travailleur tu n'as
Pas cru décent de me priver de ma guitare,
Solidarité sainte de l'artisanat.
Pour toutes ces raisons vois-tu, je te pardonne
Sans arriére pensée après mur examen
Ce que tu m'as vole, mon vieux, je te le donne,
Ça pouvait pas tomber en de meilleures mains.
D'ailleurs mi qui te parle, avec mes chansonnettes,
Si je n'avais pas du rencontrer le succès,
J'aurais tout comme toi, pu virer malhonnête,
Je serais devenu ton complice, qui sait?
En vendant ton butin, prends garde au marchandage,
Ne vas pas tout lâcher en solde au receleurs,
Tiens leur la dragée haute en évoquant l'adage
Qui dit que ces gens-la sont pis que les voleurs.
Fort de ce que je n'ai pas sonne les gendarmes,
Ne te crois pas du tout tenu de revenir,
Ta moindre récidive abolirait le charme,
Laisse moi je t'en prie, sur un bon souvenir.
Monte-en-l'air mon ami, que mon bien te profite,
Que Mercure te préserve de la prison,
Et pas trop de remors, d'ailleurs nous sommes quittes,
Après tout ne te dois-je pas une chanson?
Post-Scriptum.
Si le vol est l'art que tu préfères,
Ta seule vocation, ton unique talent,
Prends donc pigeon sur rue, mets-toi dans les affaires,
Et tu auras les flics même comme chalands.
Ge who is without sin.....

Kunming: A New Perspective
发布者Great to know you guys are going to be Kunming boosters. In spite of many problems, like never ending construction, worsening air quality and the forever metro project it is a good place to live.
I just hope you guys have the balls to point out when the emperor isn't fully clothed.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
发布者First reaction: Damn it looks good!
Then after a few minutes of clicking this and that the second reaction: It works!
I only have one complaint. I know it is the latest style but the grey font text is a pain to read. Maybe, because of my old and failing eyes, I find reading websites employing the subdued fonts a bit difficult to read.
Good job!
Official proposes reopening Wujiaba Airport
发布者AlPage, you have hit on a way to increase GDP and provide more jobs! Not exactly a twofer, more likely three or four times the cost of one workable airport, it will make Kunming a unique Twin Airport Spring City! The cost can be laid off on travelers with enhanced fees for tourists. Airlines can charge extra fees as well.
Yunnan GDP third fastest-growing in China
发布者Beijing regularly discounts provincial GDP growth. That is, the sum of the 33 provinces is less than the national totals.
Given the current MBO goals that drive GDP growth at any cost, impressive growth statistics are to be expected. With changes in MBO goals, more emphasis on environment, more concern with income inequality, less investment and debt driven growth, we can expect a decline in rate of growth.
Beijing has touted 'go West' and develop for about a decade. That plus money flowing into Yunnan has led to massive infrastructure development, short term employment and impressive GDP numbers. Can it last?
Remember, what is torn down adds to GDP, what is built adds to GDP, what is repaired adds to GDP, what is removed to urban areas adds to GDP. Increased activity financed by debt, especially economically unfeasible infrastructure projects, just add to the piper's bill.
Clearly, wholesale building of apartments, tall buildings, roads and bridges, provide an economic bonanza for a small portion of the population and contribute to income inequality as the workers get a pretty small piece of the pie.
Some that follow statistics and macro economic flows in China foretell difficulties ahead.
As one experienced in the collection of economic data and understanding how it is converted into the grand GDP guess, I am amazed at the technical dexterity developed by China in that forecasts of GDP, made before, six to eight weeks, the end of a 13 week quarter, are so accurate. Somehow prophecies are consistently fulfilled.
