Go up one level in this thread


As I live in Uruguay, right next door to Argentina, I can't help but feel
terribly sad for what is happening. Most of us have relatives and friends there,
and we don't know anything of their fate.
Let's hope it's all for the better, and that the people, who so bravely stood
against bullets, horses, a state of siege, and mainly hunger, will get their
reward. For it is in times like these that true anonymous heroes defeat evil,
for what was happening was terrible, and what is happening is even worse.

Let's hope everything returns to normal, and that Fernando and his cameraman can
return home safely.

Just a little wish for Christmas... STOP this insanity, everywhere.
