Whoa you may want to slow down. Use of the internet can educate the people albeit slowly. If they get smart they may put all the polititians in JAIL for being thiefs.

I am worried about my no show job ya know.

Interesting. I've watche a documentary recently about Dominican Republic (downloaded it from torrent SE http://www.torrentbasket.com ). It turns out that this country has a very long history and a lot of colourful and magnificent places.
Well, as for this article, it is not full. There have to be more figures. Otherwise it is hard to believe it.
