When Christopher Columbus set foot on La Epañola well over five hundred years ago, Mayans were no more.
These skillful men and women knew how to store water for up to eighteen months, but their bad luck sent them a longer drought and by the time the Spaniards landed, nobody knew about the number zero they had invented, at least nobody wanted to tell that to Europeans. It took close to four hundred years for Russian scientists to uncover that prodigious act of invention.
Central America has never been a great place to live. Between British pirates and tropical storms, you really have to be strong to live there.
In the 1980s the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) gave the Central American people hope.
One thing we have to show for it, is the youth band of criminals called Mara Salvatrucha which may be behind the recent killings of 76 innocent people right across the border from Texas USA.
This is the largest mass killing in modern Mexican history, not even the 2nd of October massacre of 1968 was as large. According to official reports 62 people died then.
Tropical storm Matthew is bringing havoc again, and I expect more and more disasters in the coming decades.
Are we ready, I hope so, but I am sorry to say I am not optimistic with kookoos like John McCain running the country, I do not have hope.
He was for the DREAM Act, and now stopped it an procedural grounds. I do not respect war heroes, that lie to get elected.
At this rate I see ourselves going down in dirt, unless Machete (below) comes on saves us!
