They find out what they are "missing out on" by more ways than just being informed by the narcos or the revolutionaries whispering in their ear.

Things have changed due to technology. Isn't it hard to find areas in LATAM that do not receive transistor radio transmissions?

Even the poor have access to radio broadcasts. Therefore, gone are the days when the compesinos are resigned to their life because the church or preaching’s of St. Thomas said that is the way things must be. Peasants who are exposed to this new information are no longer as easily convinced that one must be poor and that poverty is good for the soul and that one must accept a low station in life as part of the Natural Order.

General question. There was an Islamic writer who was enrolled in a University over here in America in the 50's. This guy became incensed regarding the moral corruption he saw back then, split back to his own country and wrote a book about his Islamic outrage. He was the first one to coin the phrase the "Great White Satan".

His writings have sparked most of todays tangos, evidently our guys have found this guys books in the caves and back rooms over in the sand box. My 'Old timers' condition has got me and I can't remember this guys name to save my hid, it was a simple name (4-6 characters long...I think) but if anybody would know my guess is that you fellas would.

Help an old memory challenged putz.

Thanks,
Skipper

Good evening folks


Just wanted to let all those who contributed their knowledge on this forum know that I got my paper back today.

I recieved an "A" on this assignment. This paper is also worth 15% of my grade in this class.


I thank all those who took the time and patience to contribute their knowledge and experience and allowed me to use it as a source for this topic.

I am extremely grateful to all of you. Not just for helping me with a simple paper, but for doing what all of you do every day.


regards

berdan
