"Latinamerican people are expert in word games. May be the most popular teacher in the domain was Mario Moreno "Cantinflas", mexican actor that around hundred (if not a thousand) of films, was diffused this autochthonous practice. When we refer to "Cantinflas" school, we do so with the same seriousness that other schools, such the Socratic or Platonic schools. Cantinflas school is so important, that power men and women, lawyers, business people, priests or pastors follow formal courses about it. Of course, normal people too (as wifes, husbands, girlfriends or lovers). "Cantinflismos" or "Cantinflies" allows to say all and nothing. Build arguments without positions or deep ideas, they allow to express the silence in words, take a sens to nothing or finish long discussions without conclusions. In other words, the utility of the "cantiflismo" is not only probed and true, it is also veritable. Now, in elections time, I cannot imagine a discourse without the use of confuse words that excite and give the impression of wisdom of the speaker. Without buzzwords that trace a way, fuzzy, however, it is a way. I can not imagine, for example, a woman explaining her desire to be unfaithful, without the recourse to the confusion of justification, beyond the desire.
Simply is not funny, and the true is simply. Complicated is better, is long, is funny and the most important: the words appear to be true, and the appearance is more important than being. Most important latinamerican philosophic phrases are ... cantinflismos, definitively, in moments of lucidity, we can speak clearly. And there are moments in our life that are really momentary... And it's not because says it, but we must see it... in any case, normally when I finish a think is because is the end".
