 Okay, I'm just speaking from my narrow little view point. But I think part 
of the reason for Hispanic people not being involved in the anarchist 
movement in America is because of the background they come from. Most 
Hispanic people I knoe are first generation. They come from strict families. 
They are told to honor America and are told horror stories of how hard it was 
for their parents to get here so their children could have a better life. I 
knoe this first hand because my father used to tell me of how he almost died 
crossing the border. Now imagine all of this. You get told these horror 
stories and come from families that are strict and that fear anarchism and 
other such "radical" concepts. It's hard to escape a fear that has been 
instilled in you all your life. Okay. That was my little thought of the day.
