At this point I am reading The Aleph, Borges' masterpiece with trepidation, because at the same time I found out today that several thousand people met in Chilpancingo yesterday to listen to Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), the real Mexican President (Presidente legítimo). He said that we are at war in Mexico already. At the same time I am running LaTex in Cervantes Quixote, making the textwidth 47 pt, so it is taking forever and it is already in page 2750!
To make matters worse, thousands of - I assume - white folks took over our black President's White House, as he leaves in his helicopter to defend his Health Care Program.
September 11, brings images of President Salvador Allende hunkered in the Moneda Palace at the Chilean capital of Santiago, while airplanes bought by the Chilean Army from the US Government, to unseat a lawfully elected Socialist President, were threatening his life. He eventually died that day. The US said he killed himself, I believe the US killed him, the same government representing then, those same white folks, outside of black President Barack Hussein Obama's White House now.
This is a little nightmare, because it is all in my head. It is a scary image though.
The point of this note, if it has any, is to point out how opposites meet. A leftist Messiah, harangues Mexicans in Chilpancingo, and the Talibans in the Republican Party in Washington harangue their followers.
Which side am I on?
I am with the people, if all those white folks in the US are scared, I am scared, things are breaking down badly. I agree with AMLO, Mexico is at war. Now the rich are poor, and the poor are rich. What I mean by that is that never before did the poor of Mexico have so much wealth, and the traditional rich elites of my country only think in killing poor people, like they have done for over four hundred years now. This time it is not going to work. Mexican Indians are upset, as much as those poor white folks in Washington, and all sitting presidents, Felipe Calderón in Mexico, and Obama in the US, should be scared.
Both systems are broken!
My Quixote in PDF is getting to 3 000 pages.
I am scared.
My computer finished with El Quijote:
3639
Fin
End of
Project Guten-
berg Etext
of Don Quixote,
by Cervantes,
in Spanish
I feel better already. With a more reasonable 450pt textwidth, I get:
En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor.
Nice.
