Just after 7 this morning, 100 rebels threw out the properties two caretakers. No one was harmed by the intruders, who carried machetes. The Zapatista's have been threatening to take over Rancho Esmerelda for over two months.

Radio Havanna (SW) broadcast 'minutes' of a meeting between Castro and Mexican government officials (Fox?...didn't catch the whole b'cast); and to hear them tell it, sounds like the two governments are boo pals. This is what I got through the static. Chilling.

What is it with aboriginal people nowadays ? Civilized people comin, build a decet resort or reclaim the land and then these idiots decide to take it back. If it's that important to you, start building on it NOW.

What kind of a brain-dead idiot would own Mexican property in rebel territory?

Mexico has not been a nation of laws throughout its entire history.
And corruption is the essential element common in all levels of society.

However, the corruption immediately stops when they cross the border. In South Gate California one group of Mexican thugs were thrown out of office by another group of Mexican thugs. The ones leaving spent the last hour in office writing about $2,100,000 in 'Checkies' to their political buddies-taxpayer money of course! AHH! "Our Diversity Is Our Strength."
