POPSAn American Tragedy I still remember this event. Event seems like such a trivial word to use. I called this An American Tragedy because there are so many elements to it that seem profoundly rooted in this nation, this land, this culture.

POPSShame On Wal-Mart I am leaving for Mexico in just a few months and this gives me even more reason. I am looking forward to living in nation, in fact a region, where political lines are drawn clearly and boldly.

POPSMegadiverse Countries I actually came across this wiki article by chance. It is a term I never heard of and find quite interesting. The list of 17 countries is unique in that it includes "highly developed" nations such as The United States and China and many nations with less "developed" economies. I put the terms in quotes because the only meaningful way of comparing nation states would be based on the humanity of their institutions and in that regard the US...well lets just leave it there. In any case, I would love to be at a meeting of these 17 nations. The environmental crisis facing the entire planet demands creative solutions and challenging efforts at cooperation. Perhaps humanity will rise to the occasion.

POPSLatin American Politics I love this. Chavez is no saint as he has a poor record in terms of domestic political repression. However, lets give credit where credit is due. Shutting down McDonalds even for just a few days is a powerful act against one of the worst corporations on this planet. The fact that Chavez shut down Pepsi earlier this year is great as well. Can anyone imagine what would happen in the USofA if Bush/Congress did the same thing. Boy would you say riots in the streets.
