Living in Peru : your everyday companion

If he can only do just of couple of them we will be more than please, he is not the dear God and he won´t be able to change all the corruption that have ruled this country for years
if he could only reduced poverty and make that the education will be reachable to all the population while increasing the quality of education
also it won´t be wrong if the government could garantie the security and safety of all of us in this wonderful country
his success will be ours

What about education?? I think that if they focus on education everything would be so much better. "They" should make bilingual schools...every public school...Learning new languages expand your way of thinking gives new words to your mind and new words mean new ideas. Building programs for future engineers...help young students get there... Support national scientist and researchers, maybe start building research labs in strategic points. I strongly believe that they should emphasize on this first. EDUCATION!!

Garcia should also pressure law makers to make new laws with harder punishment for corruption – in fact it should be treated as treason, if it’s not yet treated as such – ZERO tolerance is what we need to get rid of scum…but maybe that’s too much to ask.

There’s a lot to be done but it will take time and effort from all of us. I know that change will soon come…

the only thing I ask of mis compatriotas that are reading this post is to THINK for yourself, don’t believe everything you see...news are not always what they seem to be…don’t let anybody turn your ideas down!!! Ask questions!! Look for answers..

Meanwhile I will finish what I just started and someday SOON I will go back…

Dear Sirs:

Regarding President Alan Garcia´s 13 Commandments (just remember, though, God only had 10 commandments), I firmly believe that it is positive, well-meaning and daring. We wish him the best of luck in his modernization endeavors of Peruvian society.

Having said that, however, let us not forget that the Republican history of Peru shows that there has been only two kinds of government: bad and mediocre. Hope that we can transcend this historical ¨dead hand¨ and thus be able to embark on a journey of prosperity and well-being. We Peruvian certainly deserve to be awarded the best of treatments.

Best regards,


Roberto Vicetti

Garcia's "commandments" are just silly propaganda. Peru needs to take a leaf from the progressive governments of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Bolivia as in:

Havana.  August 7, 2007

Decolonization process advances in Bolivia LA PAZ, August 6. — President Evo Morales affirmed on Monday that his government has worked to lay the foundations of an internal political and economic decolonization process, during a speech marking the 182nd anniversary of Bolivia’s founding. Morales gave a summary of his mandate during 2006-2007 at a session of Congress held in the historic, colonial Casa de la Libertad in the city of Sucre, where, on August 6, 1825, the declaration of independence was signed for the Republic of Bolivia. “We are making progress on internal and external decolonization,” the president stated during a speech of three hours and 40 minutes.  He is the first indigenous leader of this country in its history as a republic. According to President Morales, the country’s public policies are no longer imposed by international agencies or “certain embassies,” the AFP reported. He also referred to the National Development Plan and its different programs for guaranteeing “a dignified, productive and democratic Bolivia.” According to the leader, the current process of change is aimed at reducing the disparity in income among families, ending poverty and changing the country’s condition of being simply an exporter of raw materials.  To that end, he affirmed, it was essential to nationalize the hydrocarbons industry by decree in May 2006. That industry now contributes more than $1.2 billion to state funds. Morales also noted that democracy is being consolidated in the country, and asked for respect for its institutions, above all the Constituent Assembly that was established in August 2006 and is responsible for drafting a new Constitution for Bolivia’s refoundation.

To Jason W Smith.

Why would Peru, being the big country it is... want to copy another smaller or even tinny countrie's such Nicaragua, Bolivia or Cuba goverment or way of life?

We are none of them! Peru has everything a big country need, we have huge land and bigger ocean... your aproach is so politicaly corroded, stuff like yours is the kind that keeps the masses away from reaching dreams and goals... Progress can be reached by keeping ourselves on the possitive side, working hard and never complaining.

Let's not go back to obsolelte and useless theories, that's the reason we are so far behind right now.

hey JWS why dont you move to cuba if you think you know everything?maybe one day while surf fishing in south florida i can rescue you off one of the rafts and then tell me some more about your phd!STALKER

Let him be...everyone has their own opinion or ideas...what makes you think you are right?? ...theres no right or wronh answer be a little bit more open minded and explore diferent opinions and political views...the fact that you dont like leftist approaches doesnt mean they are wrong...think about before you post and give some respect for opinions..

ok i am open minded but you need to open your eyes as well as your mind , historically these people (98%) of these populations suffer to the point they risk their lives to be free from communism.crawl out from the rock you live under and open your eyes before you post.PS my post was my opinion as well, my opinion just happens to also be the truth!

Have u ever been in a communist country?? All you know is made under a Hollywood basement...My eyes are wide open the fact that I dont mind people going for a leftist approach doesnt make me one. And I respect ur point of view but what is this; "hey JWS why dont you move to cuba if you think you know everything?" ... If everyone had same ideas we wouldnt be were we are right now.

 Quote "All you know is made under a Hollywood basement.." Yves is this because i live in Florida?Well since you know nothing about me i will tell that I travel all over and outside my sacred security blanket the USA about four to five times a year. I am sorry if you have communism shoved down your throat all your life.I realize you cant pick where you are born but some people have the luxury to change that and some are stuck unless they risk their lives to better their surroundings.Are you going to tell me now that the Muslims practice of caining their women is acceptable as well?Yes i guess being a US citizen I missed something there , my appologies.Face it there is a new middle class forming in the devoloping countries of Latin America. That is not the way of these countries with "progressive governments"that your dude that puts PHD after his screen name mentions.Go ask the majority of the people living in Cuba on less than 10$ amonth per family if they agree ,,,,,oh wait they cant respond to those questions out of fear of their government!STALKER

What might be wrong in ur eyes may be acceptable in somebody elses...I too live in Florida and travel all over the place...and let me tell you something about myself...Ive seen more s*** than most people in their entire life..and Im glad that at this young age I have my eyes wide open..Communist goverments, Democrats etc etc...for me they are all the same...or is sending people to die for something that they dont even understand (Iraq war) is acceptable too?? I didnt think so..all Im trying to say is that If Mi adorado pais is all f***** up because all the bull**** the goverment pulls is ok for somebody to maybe think that it might need a real change..180 degrees.. dont judge people until youve walked a mile in their shoes.
Yves

To stalker, just wanted to point out how Yves just kicked your a** in this comment section...sorry dude, but your answers were really lame...your opinions weren't that bad but you just didn't handle the situation appropriately...And to Jeff Allison and his comment on the US Iraq war, how does it realte to Peru again?? and by the way, hinting that democrats (cause you're clearly a Republican) prefer to loose in Iraq "because of how it may help them in the up-coming presidential race"?? what a rock! The US is losing in Iraq already regardles of any presidential election...not only that, but American aren't much liked anywhere in the world, have you been abroad lately?? Europe? Asia?...you need to travel a little more to see what's going on in the worl and what the Iraq war is really doing to Americans in the world.
About Alan and his 13 commandments, well what can I say? I lived in Peru in the 80s when he was the president...bad memories! I can't see how he could do a better job now, but time will tell...

I am not judging the people/ victims, I am lstening to what they say and let me tell you we have good venezuelan friends in Fl. lots of them who are disgusted with that government.They have lost lots of property personally with the chavez regime.5 years ago we were looking at margarita isl. to invest luckily we didnt.at least here in the US as long as i pay my taxes i wont have my house taken. i wonder if all gorvernments would be QUOTE "the same to me" after you got your rightly owned property stolen by a comunist government.how would you feel then Ives?let me see you talk your way out of that.Alejandro is a colleage of my wife and i have heard a lot of things maybe you just arent aware of.also guess what ? i am not at a young age and i am sure i have been around a good bit more that someone with your insight.

i must have missed something sonia just as i thought he was going to make a little since he started going into flashbacks or somthing Quote "all the bull**** the goverment pulls is ok for somebody to maybe think that it might need a real change..180 degrees.. dont judge people until youve walked a mile in their shoes."
Yves wtf? yeah i guess ill have to pad my a** the next time before i log in!

Mr Stalker...im sorry but to be honest with you...I already lost track of what was that you were saying and to be honest Im not going to read all that nonsense again...and before I continue...who the hell is Alejandro??...and I kinda knew you were older...you old folks tend to live in yesterday but I have some advice...Let the past slip away...expand your sense of now and MAYBE youll do allright..

oh cool you already made it to florida? must have been one of those rubber rafts they are using now. guess what ? you need to change your attitude about governments or stay on the run the way you have lived your life to this point,  according to your posts. me? i will just continue to kick back and enjoy life in a democratic society whether it be the us or peru , i have the best of both worlds in my hands no maybes about it young grasshopper.

Good luck

IVES QUOTE "who the hell is Alejandro??...and I kinda knew you were older...you old folks tend to live in yesterday but I have some advice...Let the past slip away.".. hey ives alejandro is the person that works with my peruvian wife here in florida as i stated in my post. he is venezuelan and just lost his property to the chavez government. this IS recently, nothing about living in the past. maybe some of the younger generations are stuck in a time warp but not me. thats ok you guys can just do whatever your mtv and ps3 tell you to do. and god help us all when you numbnuts start running countries. i bid you good luck as well.

Sonia -  You make alot of assumptions. I'm not Republican or Democrat, If anything I'm loosely an adherant to the Libertarian party platform, but I refuse to "beleive" in any one given party 100%.
"U.S. war in Iraq, how does it relate to Peru again?" Go back and read what I said and you will see it's not the WAR I was comparing, but rather the attempts by a political party to capitalize on and manipulate a situation in a country even if will cause harm to ones own country, just to gain political points because of an upcoming election or for the purpose of pulling down a current president or his ratings.  And that's exactly what's happening in Peru right now with several wanna-be strongmen that lost the last presidential election, and now are traveling throught the country, stiring up as many "fires" as possible so as to lay blame and cause problems for the stability of the new President.  I can't educated you on all of this, go back and read what these people have been up to in the past year.

And yes, I have been abroad lately. With half of my family being diplomats I travel fequently.  And like you, I've also been to Peru, I go there every year, I have family there, I own property there, I do business there. I was in Europe last March and will be going there again in December, God willing.
"About Alan and his 13 commandments, well what can I say? I lived in Peru in the 80s when he was the president...bad memories! I can't see how he could do a better job now" 
If you seriously can't see how Alan Garcia can do better a better job now than when he was President last time around, then I guess that statement in itself makes it clear that you are completely out of touch with the difference in the situation of Peru now as compared to back then.

yeah i just read the comment she made to you as well . shes is lost somewhere out in left field for sure.

I must say...you guys are a couple of whining bitches...somebody pleeasseee put a leash on this kittys..porque no comentan algo productivo por eso el Peru esta donde esta...porque en su epoca, cuando todavia estaban jovenes y podian hacer algo no lo hicieron...dale viejo deja esa vaina...

Yves : You should give up on this subject! You sound very pathetic when you try and impress about your experiences! Sounds like you were one of the generation X punks that was given a little money from your parents so you would get lost somewhere else in the world. So dont take your little "life experience" narrow mind to serious! Durango

vanessa castro is my sister !!!
