Latin America United:

Our continent is delicia in every sense of the word and very resilient from the millenniums of evolution that have changed most of the regions, but it is still virgin including its people in some areas today. The body of the continent is protected by the arteries of the Amazon, great canopies and jungle that cover most of the territories with such a fertile land that makes us the poor man sitting on a bench of gold and our women the envy of the world. The original living people, descendants of many generations of Indians whom crossed the straight of Baring some ten thousand years ago have created a culture of peaceful large communities who always respected the environment and nature itself and mostly called "BOBOS".

Today they still thrive in some areas around the Amazon, protecting it for future generations and keeping their own traditions and costumes as their way of living. In essence they seem to follow their innocent, low profile and sane lifestyle as their ancestors did and it appears to be the best way of life. They only search for the basic necessities to fulfill their life needs and is a testament to their ingenuity that after so much destruction around them, whether by the Spaniards back at the end of the 1400s and the beginning of the 1500s where they almost lost their way of life and most of the population, the French whom wanted to take over after the Spaniards or by natural disasters and also many times they did their own intercultural fight.

The unmerciful destruction done by the Spaniards almost eliminated them all from the face of Latin-American including the Caribbean; an act that continues to hinder any real development amongst all the people. Today as many generations of descendants from the Spaniard who terrorized such indefensible and innocent population, still  carried such heavy burden on their shoulders, blood and even the ghosts of those Indians seem present in the culture today. Until we decide to follow the deeds of Bolivar, El Che, Eugenio Maria De Hostos and many others who wanted nothing less than the creation of a continent who will be united, strong and peaceful and where every citizen born in Latin America can rejoice and fulfill a life of production and ensure a future generation to have the same gifts. We have to find a path were all the countries of Latin America can in some form and faction, be united for the better of us all. The division, fitting and lack of transparent deeds amongst us ARE the reason why today our natural resources are being extracted by the outside world.

It would be a step forward if a directive is formed amongst the countries to begin the long and arduous journey towards forming the puzzle and sharing information, ideas and resources available to introduce a system of education first for every child entering the school systems of all the Latin-American countries where they are tough in the same language and all have the same books to learn from and can be done in a step conforming to geography, so that the new generation can grow with a base for uniting all our people and the culture of our people passed on to the new generation.

By allowing a fresh start to our youngsters, then they can join a world community as equal partners and we can begin the cleansing necessary to oust the attachment and pain followed up to today by the harm done when the invaders arrived in this side of the continent some many hundreds of years ago. We must first start with the young and continue a path to progress dedicated solely to uniting our people and it will take many generation so we cannot afford to let time fly-by because it will make it ever more IMPOSSIBLE. Should the Gods be smiling on our people and we are able to accomplish such feat in the future and we make it happen sometime this century; Then comes the hardest and fundamental issue to assemble some kind of order in the form of pillars so its people can depend on to base the future. It is no secret that all of Latin America lacks the basic pillar of law, education, institutional resources, commerce and trade, voting rights along with human rights and most important a pillar to unite a continent WITHOUT BORDERS.                                                     

like European Union or takes one step further, by making it like the United States of America. Each country can become a state and depending on size appoint senators and representatives while electing a president by all the people of Latin America. The whole world is going to unite and should we fail to act, our Latin America is going to be left out and become the dumping ground for the Giant Union; But as long as continue the politics of dime y te dire, nothing is going to get accomplished. Let's not forget that nature burns land because it needs to so that new grass can grow.
