#1 These people are one step away from Colombia's F.A.R.C. or E.L.N. This MST is a danger to the region's stability. Lula da Silva is tied in closely with this group, too. This is the Cuban Revolution all over again. I feel sorry for those farm owners. It's just like what Mugabe and his thugs are doing in Zimbabwe.

#2 *sigh and frowns* I'm aware of this "liberation theology" -- the upper echelons of the church've denounced it as a distortion, and in fact, though the situation of Jean-Bertrand Aristide leaving the clergy were murky, he was definitely dumped from his order for his emphasis of it.

#3 3.5 percent of landowners hold 56 percent of the arable land

Thank G*d for the NW Ordinance and the Homestead Act.

#4 I don't like you Mr. Beef. You obviously don't recognize that this "instability" only exists because people are hungry enough to protest and smart enough to realize that Governments, like donkeys, need to be prodded in order to move forward. Sorry for the farm owners? At least the farm owners have access to formal education and should be able to rationalize that concentrating wealth tends to piss people off.

#5 Sorry Mr Lachmansingh, but are'nt you actually arguing that people should not try to make money? That becoming rich is a crime against humanity? If so, I realy do not like your POV very much.
