  2. shinybarrel not only a joke, it's illegal that she's unable to run, no relative, let alone son or daughter of a former dictator can run for president of the republic, the joke is she says her father is her inspiration. Gutierrez is a capitalist that would be more than happy from getting richer by selling out his country to the yanks, as far as Morales, he lets religious beliefs dominate his polotics, overall, it's not just the candidates, the political system itself is corrupt, just because the president is progressive doesn't mean real progress can be made. When it comes down to a point the government in Guatemala is as much of a Yankee puppet state as it was through the civil war. I was born an Irishman, raised in Belfast until I was 14, after my mum passed I went to live with my dad in Virginia, then Georgia. After I was old enough I decided to get out and see the world, I joined the army and ended up spending a year in Iraq trying to stay alive and figure out why we were there. After I got home I decided I was done fighting a rich man's war, but I didn't fit in at home anymore, couldn't even talk to my dad about anything, so I left. I walked and hitched rides from Savannah to Brownsville, and then kept hiking and riding in the back of trucks and busses south through Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and finally stopping in Panama City, I was regularly broke, was always sleeping outside, in the mud, through rainstorms that would last for days and even weeks, I would endure long periods without food, and always had to boil my water before I could drink it, I got sick a few times, robbed, stabbed on a bus, and was shot at a few times in Mexico and Honduras, I went through this all because I had long known of the poverty, violence, and corruption throughout Latin America, I wanted to see it firsthand, to try to find out the why in it all, the cause of it. I found the answers I was looking for in Guatemala, where I ended up staying the longest. On my way back north I stopped again in Guatemala at a place called huehuetenango to find my highschool sweetheart who was an exchange student at the time, when I did find her we quickly rekindled our relationship and now we're engaged to be married, I may not have been born here, or grew up here, but I'm intent on staying and rebuilding my life, and raising a family here. There's a lot of tension here, and if Molina doesn't resign there will be violence, but for better or worse I'm still staying, and I'll do everything I can to help fight for the justice, freedom, and future that the people of this nation have been denied for so long.
