Bolivians show how to do it |
|
Bolivians are sick of oil (energy) companies coming in and taking all their resources so they have been making things so any crooked politician who comes in trying to "privatize" (i.e. steal) it, out. They just had another one tossed out. This is how you do things - stop the roads, go on a general strike, shut down the country until the crooks give up for a time.
You know Bush is against these people, the depressing thing is I watched Bill Clinton talking and he began talking about the "narco-terrorists" in Colombia, and I don't think he meant the president, who with his father were the biggest narco-terrorists in Colombia, nor the US army personnel who keep getting arrested for smuggling drugs or guns. Narco-terrorists...up until 1990 they said they were stooges of the USSR...who knows what Teddy Roosevelt called them when he wanted to steal the Panama Canal. And what has all of this done for the working people of this country? Nothing.
When we hear the same spiel from Bush or Clinton, it's obvious what needs to be done - what the Bolivian people are doing. Taking matters into your own hands. Which of course takes years of organizing.
