I went to high school and was good friends with a Bolivian, way back when. I was actually thinking it would be cool to move to the highlands with the Aymara. Herd my llamas, grow my potatoes and quinoa. Better than what I got going now. I was actually thinking about this about 3 nights ago. Synchronicity. Huh . . . . maybe.

Bolivia is a wicked place. My old manager was from there and told me great stories about the cannabis culture there....also had some wicked suits he got tailored there.
I haven't read that article, but I just watched this on an episode of The Nature of Things with David Suzuki. It's really, really encouraging to see. Especially from the poorest country in South America. But it's success is really dependent upon global demand for lithium (driven by the electric car industry). Bolivia is banking on that to drive its economy in the near future, given its vast stores of lithium beneath the salt flats. If that industry fails, they're going to be forced to open up the forest to oil drilling.
