#6 Sorry. According to the Beeb, the locals say that the central government is taking all the swag and that there isn't any left over for building infrastructure and creating jobs. I just looked at some Ecuadorean papers and there seems to be a lot of confusion. No one is really saying what the political affiliation of the protesters is. 95% of the two provinces live in poverty and they are mostly Indian and Mestizo. My guess would be that the revolt is "Bolivarian," i.e. Hugo and Fidel have a hand in it.

#7 11A5S-Ecuador is an inconvienience for Hugo Chavez.

Happy Hugo is feeding his ~~kitty~~ Swiss Bank Account. If Fidel ever goes to that revolutionarie's paradise in Hades land, Hugo Poquito-Ricardo won't have a big brother to prop him up anymore...
