Ecuador in unrest

Apparently the the national police of Ecuador are not pleased with El Presidente's plan to curb entitlements. This situation sounds very similar to what happened in Greece when entitlements were cut there.

The question of course is why do we care? Well..Ecuador and Honduras have got something going on with the Zetas aka the huge drug gang killing thousands of people on the Mexico boarder. And the US was caught tinkering with Honduras..and my understanding is that President Correa is a friend of Venezuela's "president" Chavez..who we dont like..this could be the US tinkering in Ecuador like we have every other country down there..or maybe just lazy entitled government employees who also happen to carry guns.  

South America has been slow to join the world stage but sooner or later that dragon is going to wake up and things are going to get interesting.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
