As I understand it you feel that this film is designed to do the opposite of what it claims. The NGOS come up with this sort of thing in order to
diffuse the change that they are advocating.
The argument goes that wealthy organizations who support development finance these NGOS in order to prevent those who are capable of stopping the
development from doing just that (hence the "hopelessness" you think you see in the film).
Seems far fetched to me. Things are the opposite of what they seem. There are many who are attracted by that outlook in almost everything.
And those who are capable of making a difference? is the grass root movements?
Disagree with that as well. The native bajaenos are virtually powerless on their own. Alliances should be supported. You have a common goal despite
what you think of their wealth and motives.
P.S I did read the article you provided the link to. Thank you for letting me understand better where you are coming from.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I'm familiar with this social approach, but a starfish can't survive in polluted waters- let alone replicate it's independent limbs. If only it was
that simple. I'll stick with producing a series of "educational YouTube videos" the starfish can use for impact once they are able to propagate.

Check out the song "Lochloosa" by J. J. Grey. Not Baja, but another place, equally precious.

nada. They can't do much, their boards won't let them move in a meaningful direction unfortunately. They will raise your hopes and always put you on
hold, unfortunately you must continue your fight. The only way I can see is people getting together and fighting those causes that are important to
them, communicating and networking in a true grass roots, unencumbered way and gaining momentum that gets the attention of the politicos who can drive
those agencies you list. The government has a lot worse on its hands to think about but we all have to defend what is ours and we have to maintain
the pressure if we are to make any progress. My "cause" is fisheries and jobs, yours is keeping that federal zone clear so your town can have a
public beach. Don't give up! Good luck to ya. |
Hey Pam- appreciate all attempts to get land issues out in the open. A next step for me may be to take the advice of the FRAO office in Rosarito- to
make it an expat issue. The last thing Rosarito needs is Americans with oceanfront homes complaining Mexicans steal their legal land concessions and
build on the sand in front of them.
I figure the real estate market is already dead for now, so now may not be the time for the most impact to launch my issue in that forum. Can you
imagine what any prospective Rosarito home buyer will say when they see the video of a guy coming out to beat an American retiree with a 2x4 for
protecting the disabled beach access his family has the title to? Americans don't like that stuff much and it plays exactly to their worst fears for
buying property in Mexico... corruption through inaction with a nod and a wink at the expense of expats.

well I would say your approach will be mighty affective. sounds as if this (you) could take-off in the right direction and grow like a cut off piece
of a "starfish" (metaphor only) sitting on the right growth medium. that's the way man!
