'La envidia' we call it down on the rancho, 'peasant envy' you say in english. It's the reason a man does not want to appear to do well, to avoid jealousy from his neighbours. At least until he's done well enough to buy the local cops, then it doesn't matter what anybody thinks. And we all have la envidia to some extent, just the quicker among us prevent it from constant interference with our powers of logic. I agree with you on Russia, i'm not likely to send another investment dollar there for a couple of decades at least. Too many rip-offs. Octavio Paz once said of the mexicano 'Para el mexicano, la vida es la posibilidad de chingar o de ser chingado', 'for the mexican, life is the possibility of screwing [somebody] or getting screwed', and while it is less and less true of mexicanos, i think it still goes triple for Russians with any power. They have never known anything remotely resembling democracy and individual responsibility, they went straight from the Tsars and boyars to the commissars and the KGB to the mob who rules them now. Same people, same style, really. Has nothing to do with capitalism or free enterprise, though they may use the words. But when i asked about drill results, i meant Alamo Dorado. Seriously, check 'em out. As i recall, you might have done better to check out arp's. And the wife with shoes, that's another Marcos. Friend of mine met him once, he was part of a student demonstration at UBC, '67 maybe, they stormed the chancellor's residence and he actually got pushed inside, got to wandering around and bumped into an old guy in a bathrobe - guess who. That's the way he told the story, anyway. No, i am el Sup-tomandante. Sup for Superior, the best beer of southeast Mexico, and tomandante from tomar, 'to drink' ... no, i'm old-fashioned - barefoot and pregnant is more my style ... and no damn credit cards either .. see, i am with it ;-) ... cheers
