OK, I will bring it down for the paint and a tank of gas, and I will even buy the steakes. But, after that, I am going back to the states.

To Vince:

I don't know If I undestood correctly your words, If you meant the communist revolution they already tried to make it in the seventies and happily the military ended that try. (with plenty of "dissapeared" people)
I don´t like institutional violence but in this case they had it coming.

Kike,

Some of us on this list enjoy some humor to the how do you fix it topics.
It was my lame attempt at humor that sparked your response.

About 3 years ago some of my family fled your town and moved to Majorca. I plan to visit them next year. Hey, I am cheap and can stay there for nothing. I see nothing wrong.

I am also seeking a stay at your place now that we are writing buddies.
