Thoughts

Andrés Manuel López Obrador asked his supporters to let the Mexican Army go through the streets of Mexico City as every year, and called for the beginning of the Democratic National Convention when the parade is over.

I do not know if the supporters are coming back with their tents after the army marches, but it seems to me that this is really going to be a peaceful movement. For all practical purposes it seems now that just as the Republicans in 2000, and 2004; in 2006 PAN is going to run Mexico six more years. I do not expect Felipe Calderón to accomplish much more than Vicente Fox in these coming six years.

On the other hand the Earth keeps warming up, Siberia snow is disappearing and it seems that in a hundred years or so, more people are going to move near the North Pole, because methane gas is being released to the atmosphere once this snow goes.

The price of gasoline is going down now that the summer driving season is coming to an end. The American middle class is going through hard times, some jobs they used to have are not available any more, the members of the middle class seem to want to limit immigration, but on the other hand people from warm climates are feeling the heat and moving north.

Interesting times are coming.
