Cry for Argentina

2002-08-09 19:08:44+02 by TC 0 comments

On Wide Angle last night they profiled the collapse of the Argentine government and how the people have been coping since December. It's truly sad to see that one of their top rated TV shows is called Human Resources where contestants attempt to win a job by trying to be the most pathetic.....long sigh... the coolest thing was that over a 5th of the population is engaging in barter trade where people are exchanging services and goods based on a credit system. It's like all the B-Ark people(D. Adams ref)are in the government or surrounding it in protest and the A-ARK & C-Ark people have started building a new society from scratch. Very Cool.
