'If you can speak with crowds and keep your virtue,
or talk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
if all men count with you, but none too much .... '

Kipling got it ... Oaxaca is known for politics that is somewhat, uh how could you put it ... unsophisticated ... like Guerrero, large parts of Chiapas, many other places where topography tends to naturally separate communities from each other [el DF being maybe the prime example] ... hike over the next hill and wham, it's a different world ... impose on this a few hundred years of top-down feudal 'government' in european language and style, when the campesino all along has been a natural born free enterpriser within his tribal context, and you get lively politics

Puerto Angel to Mazunte and beyond is our favourite part of the estado ... from Pochutla to city of Oaxaca the second class bus on the second class road was really an experience a few years ago, the mountain pass between reminds you of parts of Alberta or Idaho, all pine trees, houses are mostly log cabins and there aren't very many

You play any resource juniors, carranza? ... 'If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss ...' ... lol
