As I write this, I cant avoid feeling two very clear sensations. The first one I can only explain by saying that its like stepping out of a boat just as it finishes its slow, decadent sinking and finally goes under the surface. The second one is genuine sadness. Of all the posts Ive written, this is without a doubt the saddest one Ive written. Im not talking about the loss of culture, standards of living or the death of a friend. Its not about the starvation of children of violence towards people close to me. Its about all that and more. Its about the death of a country itself.
As the press all over the world talks about the political success of the current administration, and mentions the flourishing, prosperous Argentina, a clear minority which Im part of sees things differently. It makes you wonder and ask yourself a few other things as well. Who writes all these praises? What kind of data do they use to make such positive statements? How can a country be booming economically, yet keeps having shantytowns grow at an accelerating rate, poverty, misery and decadence never backing down one inch, and the 3rd greatest inflation in the planet as the icing on the cake? After reading some of the emails people sent me on the success of Argentina, I wonder if its just innocent stupidity, lack of professionalism or if theres more to it than meets the eye and there are other intentions behind it.

2012 cannot come soon enough.
