15. good. even we have rules against propagandizing our populace.
Edited on Sun Oct-10-10 07:35 AM by NuttyFluffers
our first amendment does have restrictions - even though it is about one of the most lenient in the world. propaganda and mob mentality are dangerous things and Bolivia has already a sad history of the said dangers of such Goebbels-like manipulation of the vox populi.

Thanks Judi Lynn for bravely providing background history to Lat Am topics. it's far too facile to take a cursory read, apply our own cultural biases, and be done with the issue. using real judgment in life requires knowledge of context; life is context. here's a situation that would immediately insult us here on the face of it (amid our already established peace), is really more of a way of preventing oligarchic agitation for a racial civil war... to then steal the natural gas wealth for themselves.
