There's a reason so many torturers went unpunished after the Dirty War...maybe lots of people thought what they did was necessary when faced with the communists' methods. Which is a good reason to avoid both torture and terrorism: they both screw up your country for generations, so even if you win, you lose.<br /><br />2. Rescuing Pa Ingalls...my wife reads the Little House books to my daughters, and I think there's a mistake here. The idea you're conveying when you say "living like the Ingalls" is totally correct: you can't just quit your job and scrape your living from the dirt in the middle of nowhere. But that's not what the Ingalls did at all. In Pa Ingalls's situation, the most lucrative "job" available was heading out to the prairie and hunting (for food and trading abundant furs for supplies to build and maintain his household); meanwhile, they were using farming as a supplement and to establish title to the 160 acres of land--a substantial investment--under the Homestead Act. This setup was far and away better than the jobs available in Wisconsin (sparse hunting and pickup carpentry). <br /><br />Now, this setup didn't work out (their title was declared invalid when civilization finally caught up), but IMO "living like the Ingalls" is exactly what you've been suggesting all along: use your head and your talents to build up a solid base of capital, follow the good jobs, learn as much as you can to do for yourself what you can do for less, be ready to leave when circumstances demand it, etc. So there's my two pesos.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-51073760043566635832010-04-21T10:23:09.124-07:002010-04-21T10:23:09.124-07:00Thanks -- it's helpful to get the view of some...Thanks -- it's helpful to get the view of someone who lives in a country. Our New York Times here in the USA is not a very reliable source.<br /><br />If Argentina finds some embarrassing memos from Henry Kissinger to Bignone, I would appreciate knowing of it.
