The education crisis - just a symptom of general social failure (tags)

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on How to Tackle Climate Change (tags)
"Obama is a big frustration. In my opinion, Obama can become one of the biggest frustrations in the history for many people, not for me, but the people of the United States that voted for him and saw him as a symbol of hope for change.

I wish for you to get a government that truly takes care of you first and then works towards peace for the rest of the world."

A Zapatista Reading List by Gabriel García Márquez & Subcomandante Marcos (tags)
"I have Don Quixote by the bedside, and I regularly carry around Romancero gitano, by García Lorca. Don Quixote is the best book out there on political theory, followed by Hamlet and Macbeth. There is no better way to understand the tragedy and the comedy of the Mexican political system than Hamlet, Macbeth and Don Quixote. They're much better than any column of political analysis."
