Just another month in Latin America

My father has been finally convinced I won’t be kidnapped by Columbian terrorist in Peru. This is a good sign.

However, my mother has fervently kept track of every American kidnapping; cholera epidemics;  travel tours with drug dealers (pictures with dealer not included in price); Viagra handouts;  a constitution proposal to include a woman’s right to sexual happiness; Hugo Chavez;  near legalization of gay marriage in Cuba; and a nasty border rivalry propelled by the United States. 

If you ask me, the news sounds a little mild compared to the U.S..
