its despairing that humans as a species are so power hungry, selfish, greedy,never satisfied , ignorant, heartless creatures that have no apathy for the planet and the things living in it.

we look at the world as if we own it but just because were at the top of the food chain dose not make us more important then other living things. life is life. who are we to say who's life is worth living.

Allan garcia is the worse what could have happend to peru... I am ashamed that he was reelected

But im also very suprised that there is no international support for the iNDIOGENOUS PEOPLE OF THE AMAZONAS just because of oil, politician are all of the same kind

our own history tells us that it was not the natives that began this blood shed like that peruvian police officer would lead you to believe. Police in peru aren't paid very well, corruption is a common practice. Now add oil on native land and some very ambitious men. Keep in mind that this president Alan Garcia has been linked to over a thousand political "disappearances" as well as millions falling from the sky into his pocket magically! sadly the natives are in the middle of it all.
