your words would be heard so much better, and would be so much more powerfuls, if you chose language that was less harsh and led to honesty and understanding, rather than distance and animosity. it seems that this is what you want -- for foreigners, for wwoof -- to be more understanding of the dynamics of farming in the so-called "third world". and yet your words are full of hatred and doomsday semantics. you speak of fatalism when it comes to what nicaragua can achieve, you yourself are a foreigner, and you refer to this country, and all others in similar circumstances, as "third world", a term which has been outdated since the end of the cold war. i appreciate that you know nicaragua well, have a daughter and close friends here, but please -- spread understanding, not alienation. peace, and not hate.
