Nicaragua
Knee Deep in the Big Muddy at Year's End
The Nicaragua-Costa Rica controversy bogged down Nicaragua’s foreign policy when the government refused to let conditions be imposed on it.
At the same time, it had no choice but to

We’re rapidly approaching the threshold of
a major extinction, a biological collapse,
in which the life forms we know will disappear.
The collective disbelief in this catastrophe is apparent
in the lack of a political-social discussion about the importance
our species, Homo sapiens, will have in the future.
It seems that our eyes don’t see it.
And our hearts and minds don’t feel it.... continuar...
