I've been shoveling so much damn snow that it's piled up 8 feet high on each side of my driveway mostly due to the insane wind blowing and depositing the snow right, and only, in my driveway.Dale Asberryhttp://life-abundantly.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-70307633875997011762014-01-27T17:50:13.555-06:002014-01-27T17:50:13.555-06:00Yeah...

Denationalization of resources changes the dynamic that precipitated the unleashing of powerful narco-insurgency. All kind of Libyan style factors may get unleashed to help quell further instability. http://subrealism.blogspot.com/2014/01/north-america-to-drown-in-oil-as-mexico.html<br /><br />The Zapatista's are of no consequence one way or another as long as they play ball with the extractive capitalists eyeballing that black gold.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-69152351350255986672014-01-22T10:49:43.735-06:002014-01-22T10:49:43.735-06:00um..., google didn't clear that one up for me ...um..., google didn't clear that one up for me John, can you please help a brother out?CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-23775367948568502122014-01-22T10:41:07.407-06:002014-01-22T10:41:07.407-06:00lol, I was looking for George Schultz and get Sgt....lol, I was looking for George Schultz and get Sgt.

And that’s one of the reasons why the Zapatistas rose up. They also rose up because they knew that that was going to go from bad to worse with NAFTA and with free trade.<br /><br />I think the most important thing now, 20 years later, is that in one small area, the southeast of Mexico, where they control territory, they’ve managed to create a different system—a small vision of what an alternative society would look like with collective and rotating self-government, with their own autonomous education system, autonomous healthcare system, production cooperatives and societies, the recovery of the local economy, their own system of administration of justice—in other words, their own legal system, which is much fairer than the federal Mexican legal system—tremendous promotion of young people and of women into positions of importance in the self-government process. So, it’s really exciting to see what is possible to achieve if you control your own territory and if you have a different vision of how society could be organized.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTzC_QqSqwcmakheru bradleynoreply@blogger.com
