A second indepedence should be to get rid of the Chavez, the Morales and the Correas. Latin americans have a penchant of blaming all their woes on the U.S. the “imperialist” and the Spanish conquest. Its time to change the record as Chile and Brazil have done and moved forward.

Ricardo is a dope.... We do need a second independence, but not one run by these sissys, like zelaya. The people voted long ago for a limited number of terms, and this guy wants to overturn term limits, for his own personal agenda... like bloomberg in NYC, this guy is a tyrant, and I can't wait for the revolution to deal with him and his cronies.

Ricardo seems quite lucid Joe. You seem a little confused. You have Hugo “cara bobo” Chavez trying to be appear like Che, talk like Castro and walk like Stalin. Then you have his wannabees, Morales who has wasted a great opportunity to do away with Brazillian imperialism, and Correas who has been caught with his pants down to his ankles taking it from behind from FARC.
