"TLC" aka CAFTA
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The U.S.A. has taken another small country, unawaringly, and will destroy the last frontier of freedom.
As they snuck into the lives of the Costa Rican people {Ticos}, they let them assume that their "TLC" program was about to present them with just that. The actual "Tico" really did not have the chance to get involved in this matter or even the chance to put in his ballot, as he works usually 10 hours a day and even 6 days a week. The government was strongarmed into believing that a "Free trade agreement" with the U.S. would allow an import, export opportunity that would enrich the lives of the Tico families. I do know many true "Ticos" who of all I have spoken to, have denied any want or need to this so called "TLC". This pact, also known as CAFTA, Central American Free Trade Agreement, will put many of the original Ticos out of their own employment. Their freedom, as they have known it, a true democracy, will now be lost in the flames that burn in other countries that have surrendered their "will" to the U.S.. Since there are 12 steps that must go through the Costa Rican legislature before the "throne" of the new president is seated, I can only hope that the Ticos have a way out of this mess.
If Barrack Obama wants to give freedom back to the world, he may want to start right here, by taking the curve-ball Bush threw that wasn't even seen by most of Costa Rica's population. The average Tico was blindsided. He was NOT aware of any of the binding facts, and almost even came close to losing a beautiful part of his forest as well.
Yes, they found a vein of gold. The U.S. sent in the equipment to cut the trees and start the dig. Some Tico saw it, reported it, and now the President of Costa Rica, Arias, must answer to some questions on this allowance to get to this "gold" through our natures goodness.
There are 2 Costa Rican presidents that have been jailed for crimes against the country, usually some type of embezzlement or illegal money take, but this one seems to be ironed over. Just like this "Trade agreement" is being ironed over! Small, Free, No Army, Pure life, Costa Rica-- STRONGARMED by the one with all that muscle known as President Bush.
In the US the "agreement" is a peanut worth. If eventually there is a conflict between our government and any U.S. company, the fight must be seen in an international court BUT if it happens in the U.S. the thing is seen in the U.S. And anyway such fights would take probably years and would cost $ millions, which we don't have, no matter if we win or lose.
Who need this loss of time and energy,as each Tico appreciates all the "time" that he "might" have for his familia.
This is just one of the many inconveniences of the "TLC". Where the US imposed very hard conditions for a small country like ours. I'll comment the case of medicines, we have a medical institution or CCSS which works under the concept of social security where a insurance is obligatory. So all workers pay a small percentage of their salary to it. It has lots of financial difficulties too but it works. Well, the CCSS buys the most of the medicines of generic brands and the rest of original brands which are very expensive. With the TLC it would have to buy the all new formulas of original brands for a period of 20 years paying the high prices even if there are generic ones in the market. And MANY of the botanical plants that are needed to create these new drugs are grown right here in Costa Rica!
So, are we already hung, or is our head in the noose with a loose knot that might have a way to be untied?

Efrentamiento Israel and Palestine
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
On the one hand the nation of Israel is powerful historical, political, moral and religious right, to have its small earth peacefully. In spite of it, in nations as Spain (with great interests in the Arab countries and with a popular culture unfortunately very anti-semitic, by the secular influence of the catholic-Roman religion in this country), the televised press, news, certain politicians and many people of the call “world of the culture” (many of these titiriteros with complex of “mesías”), have mediatizado to the town with the false one and twisted idea that the Jews “invaded” a day a called country “Palestine” where the “Palestinians” lived, and that at the moment the only causes of the conflict of that earth are the Jews, presenting/displaying generally the conflict from a perspective solely pro “
