"be realistic, demand the impossible"
800,00 school students took action in Chile on Wednesday of last week.. Over 100 schools involved and supported by some universities. Students demaingin free travel to school and no college entrance exam fees... and restructuring of education system meeting needs of students as opposed to private sector interests. The movement most obvious on the streets of Santiago. The change in feelings may be in part influenced by Venezuela's president Hugo Chavez. Irrespective of views on his approach there is clearly support for public services and the needs of the poor and yes this seems to be creating winds blowing in the America's Can across a demonstration banner in Santiago with the words.... "be realistic, demand the impossible" - May 1968 Paris rising...
