[lac-discuss-en] Election Results Comments

Wed May 2 20:57:36 UTC 2012

My Dear Bro. We have coincidence in almost 90% of your words. I know what do you want to say, I feel and live like you in many things, And you know that my position is the true that I believe,  more than some strategies or diferences in the political positions.
But when is needed to be clear, sometimes we must be rude. I think is this in where our positions dont find coincidence. Your words were very strong, but without names, and I felt that we needed names also in your words. We need to start to say names. Because in a contrary case all in the region are involved, and many of them being not guilty for that.  It my humble thought.

My permanent enormous affectionate
