About this blog

Partisan but inconclusive reflections from David Holiday. For those folks interested in Latin America, I strongly recommend subscribing to Joshua Frens-String's M-F news summaries, at joshuafrens-string.com.

Comments

"Terrific - at last a publisher that understands your work!" --Alex Wilde

"Probably forgotten more than I will ever know about Latin America" --Randy Paul

"A reliable left-of-center critique of Things Southern" --Marc Cooper

"Whoever you are, you are very confused." --Andrew Arato

Good Thoughts

"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts." --Daniel Patrick Moynihan

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism." --Thomas Jefferson

"Many people have taken action, but if their state of being is not peaceful or happy, the actions they undertake only sow more troubles and anger and make the situation worse. So instead of saying 'Don't just sit there; do something,' we should say the opposite, 'Don't just do something, sit there.'" --Thich Nhat Hanh
