"This has nothing to do with me", declared an elderly steward, after reading part of my essay.
"But I want to know the past of my country", protested a young flight hostess. "It is all connected to our present, and future."
"AMLO is fighting for Mexico!" was the prevalent opinion.
He is. The Western empire is resisting. But ideological fight for justice is on.
