"Again, another point on the question of imperialism. The Latin America I know is infinitely more complex today than it was in the '70s and '80s. In many countries, there is a whole generation of professionals and skilled labourers who invested their youth, family savings and education with the hopes of having the opportunities associated with modern development.

To which I'll add:

A generation that had no part in the cold war hostilities and ideological battles that characterized the post-war era. These kids want opportunities, not slogans and empty promises, the stock in trade of both the old left, and the old right. Basta ya con los dos!

I personally experienced the final days of fascism in Spain. Ugly is too kind a word. You look at the place today and you'd hardly know any of it happened. I was in China during the 80's, just as the place was opening up. Felt like a museum. Slogans everywhere, people in blue pyjamas riding in old army trucks. Now look at them. That era is over. They are well on their way to a modern state. No turning back.

Young people today don't care about all that old stuff. It's as remote to them as the Peloponnesian War. A good job, a nice girlfriend, a football match, a motorbike. These are the things that matter. You give 'em the means, and they'll work hard for it. Just don't get in their way, because it's their world now, and they won't look too kindly on you if you screw it up for them.



Politicians that make straw dogs of the investing companies providing professional opportunities, jobs and improved standards and quality of living are certainly not advancing the interests of this sector of their nation.

Couldn't have said it better myself. What's a politician anyway but a social parasite? To hell with all of them! I have more respect for the guy sweeping floors at LAX than any politican of any party any time any place. Please, can't we just send them all to Mars so the rest of us can get on with our lives?
