Hi Doug,
"Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their
mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be
there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two
fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on."
Well now, Mick Dundee couldn't have said it better.
Best wishes,
Greg Lindh

Hi David, Bob and Jan, List,
David - There has been a cold war going on down there to define who has
rights to market alcoholic drinks called "Pisco" (If you don't think this
is important - very seriously-, think again!!!), and the fight for control
portions of the sea between Peru and Chile is still ablating. It isn't the
village that is of interest. It is the fight for land and sea, and
national pride. The land of the Desaguadero River where the fall is, is
near the outlet to the ocean that Chile appropriated in war victory against
Bolivia/Peru and I suspect that unofficial military activities are common
in that zone, as well as a state of alert on both sides, and also that
there is an underlying fear from this. As outsiders from this conflict,
the best we can imagine...
Jan - As you say (most of us including you could) think before we post,
too, though I don't object to your post either. The very few prior
comments you have made seem very educated, so I really wonder, why hadn't
you said anything throughout the barrage of bashing of people, corruption
and the "filth" there, and now not expect that this impression is prevalent
and accepted by a lot of list members? This is an exotic and majestic area
to visit, though lacking in hygene by the cultural standards of many
outsiders. The list has been fixated on the negative and a meteoric
attention span. Why don't you ask what Bob Haag about his recent vacation
in the wonderful area, he probably has seen enough in his life to give a
different perspective on their hygene and culture.
Bob W. - David off the list? Eighty-six that possee!
Best wishes and health,
Doug

If Art removes me I'll be happy to leave. It's people like you who make me
vomit all over this "LIST". And don't ever visit my website which contains
a quarter of a million words bringing the most current meteorite research
to those interested, including total morons like you. You are hereby
forbidden to visit it. I do not want to contribute anything else to this
LIST or to you, you small-brained idiot. Kiss my ass!
David
