Nothing would help fight this ugly wave of corruption more. decriminalizing can really reduce the amount of money involved.

PS I have earlier links about the history of the rural <i>Normalista</i>schools and the Ayotzinapa in particular. <br /><br />We must not let our colleagues forget that this massacre is government sanctioned violence against educators questioning the system. No matter how set they are on dismissing this as irrelevant, if only for that point alone, they dare not.

Why is our collective memory so short? <br /><br />Thank you for reminding me of this, Vanessa. <br /><br />I am sure we all have similar stories. We should allow others to have their stories, their dreams, too! Ana M.

With my father running doodlebugging (seismic exploration) crews, we lived in a number small rural central Texas. Through the south -- not just Texas, cotton is the quintessential sharecropper crop, especially before picking was mechanized. It's backbreaking work too.
