I am not surprised that the people from Santa Cruz would be attempting to become independent from the rest of Bolivia. Bolivia is a multifacetic country with very rich traditions, and a great ancient culture(The Incas). The people of the highlands have survived severe adverse events throughout their history, and they will continue to do so. The whole culture which sets Bolivia apart, and what gives a Bolivian their identity comes from the rich Andean people. The whole world should unify to preserve what is left of this people, and to never let go into extiction as animal species do. So I give my respect for the president of Bolivia Mr Evo Morales, and those of the civilized world are with him. Santa Cruz was educated, and given a culture by the "collas", without them , they would still be an uncivilized, and not be where they are. It would make a grave mistake to think they can survive without the infrastructure of the rest of the country. <BR/>It is few racist, elitist who became "owners of the land " by deposing others, that want to destroy Bolivia. Furthermore, these so called "white" are nothing but a mix of Indian (low Planes of Bolivia) and destitutes, thieves, murderer-Immigrants from European countries. The few trouble makers need to get off their high horses, and work to make a better Bolivia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
