It is truely sad when people here know nothing about the very important things going on elsewhere. I am sure many will answer this question with hate, ignornat of what they are talking about. BUT the fact remains that this stand in Mexico City that is taking place right now is very important. Depending on the election results, the course of history will change. If the military is called in to crush the Zapatistas there will be a tragic loss. Read the writings of Marcos, please. The message of the Zapatistas is perhaps the most important idea to grasp in regard to globalization, NAFTA, indigenous rights and the rights of all people INCLUDING US citizens who are (in different ways) under the gun also (whether you feel it yet or not, you are).
follow this issue for a real-time history lesson. My prayers are with the Zapatistas this next week and always.

I think Marcos will survive..Im a Zapatista devotee to the core and i stand with them all the way, indigenous rights are by far more important then American Profit..however, Marcos has become a legend, a symbol of Rebellion worldwide. He will, in one sense, never die, the Zapatistas will always carry his name with them.
I think it would be a tragic loss to lose such a man as Marcos however. His poems are something to be cherised, his teachings something to admire.

Our friends in Customs have told us of the gunfire that can be heard on the border. We don't get details, here, your government , and our local press, being what they are.
If the Zapatistas are againt the established govt, in Mexico City, my prayers are with them, as well.
