Hi Pat, Thanks for posting this, actually it is part of this thread. http://members5.boardhost.com/lamanzanilla/msg/1416242884.html Yesterday and today I ran across some interesting additions to this unfolding part of Mexico history, but I hesitated to post them due to some expressing the opinion that this is "not the place for that kind of information". When the printing press came to pass there were those who said that the general population would not be able to handle the increase in information. When the radio came to pass there were those who said that it eliminated the existing level of entertainment (people entertaining each other) and it was considered a bad thing. Now we have the Internet which is presenting a similar situation as those mentioned above. I don't know how to respond to those who have expressed discontent at National level events in Mexico being posted to this message board, other than to say "don't click on them" which seems to be a disconnected (lack of courtesy) response. At best I could apologize for the world changing as fast as it is and for there being too much information (which presents its own set of issues.) Bottom line... stay informed or don't, live life and don't panic  Having said that, here are a couple of related links. One thing is for sure, things are happening and it will be interesting to see where they lead. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/20/mexico-protests-anti-government-anger-violence-students-president http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/2mw2ld/mexico_on_the_brink_thousands_expected_at_mass/ http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/11/good-mexico-vs-bad-mexico-iguala-students/382949/?single_page=true |
