Mucho de uno, poco del otro

Things don't seem to be all that well back home. Reading that along with the conflict in the mines and how the constituent assembly is going left me with even more mixed feelings about Morales' government. The previous 'white-elitist' governments were definitely comprised of highly educated people who looked after their interests more than anything else. They also happened to sell half the country to foreign investors while getting very little return (LAB for example). So, it seems they had technical know-how (ie could get things done) but an 'incorrect ideology'. This government seems to be the other way around. How do you start with 80% approval rating and dip to 50% in just 10 months of you attempting to do what you promised?!? That sounds like a feat only dubya could pull. It seems that the current Bolivian government has as a more 'correct ideology' but not the technical know-how. Of course, they are probably also looking out for their own interests as usual. Oh boy... poor Bolivia.

That makes me really really sad =( I just wonder when is it going to be all calmer down there. I mean, if here people complain about the system and stuff it is still pretty good. When are we going to be like that? Sometimes I think that Bolivia should disappear and maybe that would fix the problem to certain extent. dunno, makes me sad.
