[meteorite-list] INTERVIEW WITH CARANCAS LOCALS

[mexicodoug]

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

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.
