FTEL, CASHCO & other flea market (pennies) gems ?

i see....
well... poor guy, he sould take a break and go to his anny....
SI will be there.... and will get fixed eventually...
thanks for the link.
No farts please
do you think SI exploded given the amount and size of the neocon's increasingly extremist bias... or ?
[maybe some conspirator theorist targeted SI suspecting it to be in cahoots with Hamas...?]
roflol.....
woooohoooo
you scared me....
my computer is functioning just primo...
not reading the psychotics from SI will reduce my fun, which apparently I can replace them with ...

Asi me lo imaginaba... (y eso que fui a la escuela y aprendi a contar al menos hasta mil) -gg-
Debes de ser una Cacique poderosa. No me sorprenderia que tuvieras mas de una cabeza reducida de aquellos que se osaron oponerte... Sin duda estudiaste en el Amazonas, no ? -g-

Mmmmm, donde esta la kryptonita que tenia por aqui...
BUT - the players tend not to have nuclear weapons, nor to give arms to temporary 'allies', not to plant land mines to blow up little kids ...
True, but now that I think about these cabrones, you know the Olie Norths of the world y sus compinches... the root of their evil lies not in the fact that they are, 'malos Americanos' but in their zeal learned from their religious upbringing, you know, the real extreme ones, the fundamentalist (Ayatohlas hijos de la chingada)... Yes, I know you know how I think and feel about religion. While I have melowed down somehow, [you know, like a good wine -g-], and I am willing to accept that there are the good curitas, like the ones you mention, I find that the most evil of the power hungry ones fall on the side of the fundamentalist. Those are the ones that take to arms the fastest --children around or not--. I think they view our existance on this earth as "just passing through" on a journey to the "mas alla", so they don't really care.
I say they ought to shoot themselves, and meet their god much quicker and leave us herejes de la chingada to deal with the mundane pleasures of this world... -g-
Pass the wine, women and song.... -gggg-
although, in a zoning dispute with which i am currently peripherally involved, i fully expect Them to consider those options, and i can't deny that it's crossed my mind too.
Aaah! let the power of the borg take you -ggg-
I have had my own experience of "neighborly" fights. I have learned that the cool head of the law, in the end allows you to laugh last. Recuerda que...

Aja... mira marcos, tenemos espias de La Capitana.... -g-
Creo que los suen~os de marcos estan muy lejos de ser campesino explotado. Sin embargo, su realidad es la que me obliga a sugerir que marcos tome armas y levante su revolucion ante la tirana Capitana (mm mira hasta rima, asi que debe de ser verdad -g-).
Sin duda, tu eres una Capitana en tu propio derecho -gg-
La pregunta importante es: Cuantos campesinos explotados estan bajo tu poder ? -gggg-
Viva la Robolucion !!
I can always count with great responses from you, had you been my history teacher way back when... my knowledge would be fresher than it is today. However I did have one good history teacher who used to warn the class at the very beginning of the year and say:
I do not care if you pay attention or not, as far as I am concern you can sleep in my class, I will give you a passing grade, I will only ask one favor of you: DO NOT INTERRUPT MY CLASS.
Then he would proceed to get into incredible political rants, (center left) that were absolutely phenomenal. He had the ability to "match" whatever history period we would be studying to an appropriate "current affair"...
The best history classes I received, not only he taught us history, but we could see in current events, how... "history repeats itself" We had alot of fun, as this teacher was full of witty critical statements and thoughts about our world "leaders", sort of... "a la Mencken" -gg-
there were Good Americans beside us towards the end, too, they marched in the parades in el DF ["American Legion', it was called i think, all volunteers, all fine examples of the best of their nation's ideals taking root in the mind of man] ...
To truly expect that all of us "will get along" we need to think in terms of humans as equals, with the particular positive and negative aspects of each region.
Yes, Mexicanos have differences with Americanos and Chinos and whatever... but we are all humans.. --even Argentinos-- -G- The time of conquistas is long gone, and should have been long gone after Imperial Rome... Howevr, so long we have the desire to draw a border line and the drive to control "al vecino", we will not succeed in treating everyone with the freedom each one deserves.
Again, Mencken puts it well...
"It is inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible for public office."
So, those who have held public offices and in charge of "our destinies", usually lack those attributes that Mencken mentions, hence, we have suffered throughout history the whims of the power hungry, aka politicians. Funny that prostitution has been scorned throughout history as a profession, yet we accept politicians as more graceful sinners...
I guess I can accept a prostitute better than I can a politician... then again, I am biased -gg-
I believe that more women are needed as nation leaders... less testosterone could do well for humanity, then --yet again, the contradiction exists-- since "Iron Lady" Thatcher proved, after all, that when a woman gets really pissed, watch out ! -gg-
I do not what awaits the future of the US/Mexico... and whatever Bushito sayz, no doubt he will have to pay attention to the large and growing hispanic population in the US... At this point the issue of the border line has become even more blurred... and I expect it to become more so since both countries are moving to a more "global" mentality (whatever that may mean). The point is I think both countries will get closer to each other, simply because it makes more sense, given that they are neighbors.
Re: Carlota ... lol !! I have known a few females with a lot more common sense than many-a-machos who preach logic and practicality to all 4 winds. This particular Carlota does not strike me as one of them since this business of the on/off main squeeze, sounds like an entertaining even interesting love story, but not necessarily "rational" then again, nothing in love is. lol.
... people just have to learn to get along, that's basic to it ... education - all comes down to that ... we need a new Vasconcelos, and maybe a Twain or Mencken to rise from the sierra ... as for me, i am being sent to the garden ... 'a tus ordenes, Capitana', aaargh
LOL !! yes, I agree, people need to get along, that is what I was talking about earlier see the Mencken quote above... I agree with you education and the ability to "see the other point of view" is what is needed... don't know if we humans will ever be capable in large scale to do that in order to sotp all the nonesense that goes on.
As for La Capitana... good luck in your personal revolucion, best to take the banner of los campesions explotados ... strike for beer brakes more often lol.
ROFLMAO...
Aaaaahhh I have not heard so many of those expressions in a long, long time, La Poeta is right, it seems you did not drink enough to impair your writing, or else, your writing can withstand any kind of drinking [or else, --again-- your drinking is what gives your writing mastery -ggg-]
We should clarify for the Anglo audience that Cinco de Mayo is yet again another way for the Mexican government to give the populace, "atole con el dedo". Some Anglos even think it is the date of the independence, (courtesy of cerveza Corona's advertising, or rather the anglo interpretation of the same, "bajo la influencia").
It was a day that will live in glory [of the mind of the politicos --gg--] since briefly (and somehow) the Mexican Army managed to defeat the proud Napoleonic army. But if memory serves me right, in the ensuing days, the French beat the crap of the federales and installed in power, their puppet emperor Maximiliano and the his wife Carlota. Imagine how things were that she became totally crazy.
A fairy tale...

Cinco de Mayo, se gano la batalla, pero no la guerra...
And out of this it set the stage for "Bomberito" Juarez -GGG- to come back and re-gain power. Ah yes, the glory days of El Gobierno Laico, who took from the Catholic church the ill gotten wealth and power in and of Mexico...
A little closer to the truth... Remembering that... La historia la escribe quien gana la guerra.

An even a better one.... "Los valientes no asesinan"
Thus began the bloody, fratricidal Reform War of 1858-61, pitting liberals against conservatives and so named because of the Reform Laws that had curbed the power of the Church. The Liberals almost lost their leader two months after the conflict began. In March Zuloaga's forces entered Guadalajara and captured Juárez near the Palace of Justice. He was saved from a firing squad only through intervention of the poet Guillermo Prieto, who courageously thrust himself in front of Juárez, crying: "Brave men do not assassinate." The soldiers lowered their rifles and Juárez was able to escape to Manzanillo, where he re-kindled resistance.

Only to see El Raton Loco Salinas de Gortari give the wealth and power back to the Vatican Evil... El pendulo del poder swings back and forth... between poor and rich, between right and left... between good and evil.
Then Salinas's fortunes took a dramatic turn for the better. As the Berlin Wall tumbled and former socialist countries now decided that capitalism was the wave of the future, Salinas made a bold move: he effectively canceled the Mexican Revolution.
His rejection of revolutionary principles, known by press pundits as salinastroika, took place in several areas -- political, economic, even religious. Where anticlericalism had long been a leading principle of the Mexican Revolution, Salinas completely reversed course. Nuns and priests could once more appear publicly in clerical garb, they could vote, the Church could own property, diplomatic relations were re-established with the Vatican, and religious schools were once more authorized.
El cabron raton, borracho en poder, le aplico una inyeccion intrapiernosa a la historia -gggg- in otherwords... he fornicated history itself, no less -ggg-...
http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/history/jtuck/jtsalinas.html
and it gets better... (They even talk about your namesake, comandante Marcos --yes, I know it is not you, you told me so... Mi mama me dijo no creas todo lo que te digan... -ggg-)
Salinas's prestige had never been higher. He was only forty-four and a brilliant future was predicted for him -- in the international arena. Having achieved an economic miracle in Mexico, who would be better suited to become president of the World Trade Organization?
On the opening day of 1994 everything fell apart. Santayana wrote that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. When Echeverria's term ended, everybody hailed López Portillo as a savior. With the end of the disastrous Echeverria-López Portillo-de la Madrid cycle, it looked for a while like Salinas would be the new Moses. History was about to teach the Mexican people another harsh lesson.
It began on January 1, 1994, with an Indian revolt in Chiapas. With Salinas's version of agrarian "reform," with the implementation of NAFTA, the campesinos in Chiapas had reached a nadir of despair. No longer protected by the ejido system, their lands were being taken over by creditors and landlords. And how could they possibly compete with their new international "partners," the farmers of America's prosperous Middle West? So they sold whatever they had, bought guns, and took to the hills. Their leader, who called himself Subcomandante Marcos, was a white, upper-middle-class furniture magnate's son from Tampico who had absorbed French-style Marxism at UNAM and served with the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. ------> click here to get there---> http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/zapat1.html
An interesting tale eh ? La historia esta entrelazada con los diferentes pueblos, mas de los que nos cuentan cuando estamos en la escuela no ?
Greed and fear they say, rules Wall Street...
More accurately, human nature with all its evil, greed, hunger for power and fear of losing it is what really drives man to execute the incredible feats that history shows us...
The more things change, the more things remain the same, in spite of the lessons history give us.
As Poet said, feliz seis de Mayo...
what happens the day after? - pues, we figger it out when we wake up tarde en la tarde, jijiji ... cuídate bien, chaparro ... cháu
LOL !!!

Ajaja (hmmm en este laptop no se sacarle los acentos, asi que uste me perdonara sen~or marcos, las faltas de Geografia).
Asi que ya estas instalado en este sitio... quizas se vuelva como el original SI ? ya veremos dijo el ciego... -g-
Ya veo que Poeta te respondio lo de los Argentinos...
Pero se le olvido tambien decir la definicion del Ego.... (el Ego y los Argentinos siempre estan entrelazados --gg--)
Bueno para que los AngloAmigos le entiendan.... We will say it in English:
Ego Definition:
The LITTLE Argentinean inside each one of us (hohohoho)
Well, we will forgive them as their beef is no doubt the best in the world, and their wines... my, my... you know I recently was there and I discovered that they are really like the Italians... these guys keep their best wines for themselves and give us peasants the left overs....

Good to read you marcos... This time I promise not to change names -g- (at least I will try...)
Maybe in celebration of the cinco de Mayo I should have named me.... er... Maximiliano ? LOL !!
