“La ignorancia y el oscurantismo en todos los tiempos no han producido más que rebaños de esclavos para la tiranía” - Emiliano Zapata // "Ignorance and obscurantism have never produced anything other than flocks of slaves for tyranny"

Alejandro was passing through Madrid as he was on his first trip through Europe. As I had a chance to meet him on his first stop - Madrid - and then 2 months later back here as he had passed through all the major cities in Europe - I asked him what his impressi
ons were about the differences between South America and Europe. His response was that never had he seen such differences between the rich and the poor before...While his country may not be as developed as other European countries, he said that a man in Mexico begging the streets would not be as ignored as he would be in Europe. There we exceptions of course - yet it was one of the most striking differences he could tell me first...Makes you wonder...
