High hopes for the New Year

(By Yen Makabenta, Opinion, January 4, 2014)

There are too little of us unfortunately to make a difference in this dismal country of ours. We are sandwiched between the rich (very) and greedy oligarchs and the poor masa who will for a bottle of gin sell their souls to them. We express our disgust about this government whose main obsession is how to perpetuate themselves and their next of kin in power but nobody cares. The rich and powerful together with corrupt politicians and a media that are controlled by them are so entrenched with a masa who will vote for them everytime what honestly can we hope for indeed. But there is a God that I believe will see us through and at the proper time will act to exact retribution for the evil that these people do. This keeps my hope alive.
