Romero is a wonderful Saint of the church, with or without the Bavarian bureaucrats' approval.<BR/><BR/>Remembering the Eighties and Central America is difficult, as I mentioned; the initial impact of the Reagan Right: they were little and powerless countries, and we could do it without getting hurt ourselves.<BR/><BR/>And they are occupying even higher positions now. Godde, I've been parched for a long time; I think I really could use some refreshment.johniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635403219973766022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-21903860353042684152008-03-25T14:18:00.000-04:002008-03-25T14:18:00.000-04:00I missed the feast day, but I made up for it today...I missed the feast day, but I made up for it today.
