Jun 30th, 2011 - 09:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This morning in my Buenos Aires hotel I received a call from the concierge informing me that they were concerned about me leaving for the airport as there was an angry mob outside the front of the hotel. (I swear they didn't know I was staying there. : ) ). They asked if I could possibly leave a half hour earlier so they could take me out of a back exit to a waiting car to take me away to safety. Of course, I agreed. I had heard the baying crowd, drums and smoke bombs that are so much a part of every day life in Buenos Aires.
Jun 30th, 2011 - 10:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When I arrived in reception to settle my bill I could see the crowd outside throwing eggs at the hotel and generally acting like idiots. Absolutely no one knew what the protest was about and I doubt many of the protesters knew either. I had interviewed a postal worker the day before who told me that he is often told by his union to leave work, go to a certain location and shout prescribed slogans. He didn't agree with it or understand the protest but had to do it to keep his job; he loved his job.
Just sayin'.

Sticky, it seems you're so dumb to understand what's going on in your country and it's great to read that you prefer to keep your head stuck in your ass, not to see the reality.

But sticky thinks, it's all right. Bring it on those austerity measures.

Um. I believe the teachers in the Santa Cruz province have been striking for 58 days. How they must care about their pupil's education.
Jul 01st, 2011 - 03:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0There is nothing wrong with peaceful demonstration. One day won't really effect the pupils but will give them a good lesson in how democracy works.
Dozens of protesters arrested just yards from Downing Street after violence breaks out on strike march

Jul 01st, 2011 - 06:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Over this winter, later infamously known as the Hongerwinter (”Hunger winter”), a number of factors combined to cause starvation of the Dutch people: the winter itself was unusually harsh and the retreating German army destroyed locks and bridges to flood the country and impede the Allied advance . . . In search of food people would walk for tens of kilometers to trade valuables for food at farms. Tulip bulbs and sugarbeets were commonly consumed. Furniture and houses were dismantled to provide fuel for heating. From September 1944 until early 1945 approximately the deaths of 10,000 Dutch people were attributed to malnutrition as the primary cause.”
with its severe food and fuel shortages, was a terrible one for the Dutch people . . . In some provinces there was nothing to eat but tulip bulbs and sugar beets, and eighteen thousand Dutch civilians actually starved to death.
Still the Brits came to the rescue you from your German relations
