1. It seems, it's always the economy, stupid.

I didn't climb out of Plato's cave until 2003 but I have the freedom and time to expand my awareness as fast as I can. When it comes to Latin America there is no way to refute that their problems are a direct result of economic exploitation.

Unfortunately, any discussion that questions the US motive in relations with other countries will always draw condemnation from those willing to accept the "official" reason for our actions.

Those who will take the time to study history already know the stratification has been present since the firs European set foot on the continent. Nothing has changed in those centuries. Those who are "protesting" are the blancos. They are the sons and daughters of the exploiters of the people and resources of the country.
