Peruvians Feel Robbed Over Spain Getting Treasure
Spain plundered much and destroyed much in South America, but they also contributed much. It is sad they did so much damage along the way, but the world would be very different if they had not been around. (Apr 11, 2012 | post #7)
Thousands of Bolivians march in support of Morales
I am also heading over again mid-February for three weeks in Santa Cruz and Tarija with family. I guess I better buy some "old" clothes so I don't ruin new ones with paint during Carnaval. :) I hope the Paceņa factory is ramping up for my visit. I think last time I was there they almost ran out ;) (Jan 13, 2012 | post #12)
Fast chat with Che' star Benicio Del Toro
I agree here....the best thing coming down the pike I see is that Uncle Evo's days are numbered now. Even if he manages to make it to the end of his current term alive, I can't see hime being re-elected, and that is definately better for Bolivia. (Nov 23, 2011 | post #25)

WTF???? I don't know which Bolivia you went to, Petey, but my wife's family there owns plenty of property. In fact, enough that we are selling it little by little (around Santa Cruz) and making a nice sum of money because at least there, the land costs a LOT more than the construction of houses does. Maybe it is different for us, because she and her family have owned the land for many generations. They have plenty of modern (even flat screen) TVs and radio (my wife's cousins have several tiendas around bolivia and they are making lots of money now that the economy is slowly taking off again). It is NOT a communist country, although Uncle Evo is trying his damnedest to make it so. But that won't happen. The press, of course, like any socialist-leaning democracy, is censored by the government, but the spirit of the people there is such that there will be an assasination or revolution before the country would ever go communist. Not gonna happen. By and large, the people of Bolivia (at least those I know in Santa Cruz) are lovers of life, and a caring and hard-working (and hard partying) people. The country is rich in history and, although it is behind by about 10 years or so in some aspects, it is rapidly catching up with the rest of the world technology-wise. I love the country and its people. I will be retiring there within 10 years, but not before the next election, when Uncle Evo is thrown out on his ass by the very people he used and trampled on to get elected. If he makes it, he should count himself lucky that his own "people" have not dismissed him in a way more common in Bolivia than being "voted out". (Nov 14, 2011 | post #5)

I say "bring it, bitches!!!" Good luck with that. People have been repressing and abusing and killing other groups of people for eternity. Deal with it. I am not about to pay taxes to reparations for something that neither me nor my parents or even grandparents had anything to do with. Shit happens. Deal with it and get off your ass and make something of your life now that you are a couple generations away from the people in your family that were "wronged ". For crissake...grow up!!

Nahhhh...if anything, California will annex Mexico as soon as the USA gets tired of watching the Mexican government fail across the border. (Aug 30, 2011 | post #3)
