Having worked a pair of years in Central America, I never thought of Honduras as specially poor but as specially violent. The population is a mixture of Indians, Spaniards and Africans, with a sprinkling of European pirate genes near the coast. The mixture is not harmonious, girls are fat and unattractive. Once I was walking in the Plaza, looking into the Arab shops, when there was a shot and somebody died. People crowded around, no one knew who and why, but soon they dispersed - nothing to see here. They are a race given to political disorder. These days a mass of Hondurenos has decided "que no podemos vivir en nuestro pais" - we cannot live in our country and are moving to the United States. Pic. on the Mexican frontier. They may have taken example from the Gaza Palestinians that day after day assault the border fence with a fierce determination to get into Israel, and we have to shoot them. The same is happening in other "soft" frontiers: Mexico-America, Indonesia-Australia, Morocco-Spain, Libya-Italy.
