just so you know, perhaps he was wanted, and perhaps he did things badly, but you cant kill him. you just cant, its not right. you own our island. we were here first, but you insist on owning it. perhaps this may motivate people to act since you also don't let them vote. its just not right... you are wrong.

Estudiantes de UPR marchan en protesta por muerte de Ojeda Ríos
Lunes, 26 de septiembre de 2005
SAN JUAN (EFE) - Estudiantes del Recinto de Río Piedras de la Universidad de Puerto Rico realizan una marcha por la institución para denunciar lo que catalogaron como un abuso, el asesinato de Filiberto Ojeda Ríos, líder del Ejército Popular Boricua "Los Macheteros".
Estudiantes que representan a varias organizaciones independentistas recorrieron todos los salones de clase del recinto desde las 7:00 de la mañana exhortando a los estudiantes, profesores y empleados a participar en la marcha.
La actividad se concentraría en el vestíbulo de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, desde donde salió la marcha a las 10:00 de la mañana para recorrer todos los edificios del recinto.
Igualmente, desde la madrugada se vieron estudiantes que repartían hojas sueltas con la foto de Ojeda Ríos y la frase: "Filiberto vive" y el logo del Ejército Popular Boricua.
Muchos de los edificios del recinto también exhibían hoy frases como "Viva Filiberto" y "FBI, asesinos, prohibido olvidar".
En otros lugares del área metropolitana se han escrito diversos lemas, entre ellos: "Filiberto, camarada, tu muerte será vengada".
"Recorreremos todo el recinto y terminaremos frente a la Torre a eso de las 12:00 del mediodía. Allí decidiremos si vamos a seguir nuestra demostración en el Ateneo Puertorriqueño o en el Colegio de Abogados", indicó Aleksiván Calderón, uno de los organizadores de la marcha.
Calderón aseguró que lo que hizo el FBI fue "un vil asesinato, un acto terrorista y una razón más para denunciar la situación colonial que sigue viviendo Puerto Rico".

Wired News: "Fatten the Goose for Market
In Mauritania, thin is definitely not in. Because of an ancient belief that corpulent women are more desirable, girls are routinely force-fed rich foods to prepare them for marriage. The practice is called 'gavage' -- a French word associated with fattening geese to produce foie gras -- and is often accompanied by torture, thought to distract the girls from the force-feeding. Some have had fingers or toes broken, and others had their feet crushed by a 'zayar' -- a wooden vice that would only be loosened after they ate. While gavage is falling out of vogue, some girls now take pills to boost their appetite or animal steroids to help them beef up. Said the head of a government commission, 'Our society has this vision that a woman has to be fat to be beautiful.'

Workers cause big L.A. blackout / Outage affects millions, pointing to grid's vulnerability: "'This strikes me as something under the category of unbelievably bad luck, where you cut one line and have that kind of cascading effect,' said Bob Finkelstein, executive director of The Utility Reform Network in San Francisco, a consumer advocacy group."
Yeah, right. Try that in Puerto Rico and they'll hang you. Last year during Tropical storm Jean the power company shut off the grid in order to avoid an enormous blackout and the whole island was in outrage 'cuz it took almost two whole weeks to get power back on to the most remote regions of the island.
