No, I am not in an isolation chamber- to the contrary. I am recently returned from a four-year stay in Paraguay. I know it well, know the issues and the article is bogus and a rehash. The article’s author knows it because I wrote to correct facts several months ago. The problem with the article and by extension your comments is credibility. If the intent of the article is to justify and appease those who subscribe to shrill dialogue and embrace conspiracy theories it is a resounding success. If the intent of the article is to be informative, and convince a LATAM student of a pending, albeit serious, development then it fails. Bottom line— the article does the author, the medium and sadly this very important issue an injustice. I have no issue with the subject either way; I just don’t like to see misrepresentation. The article remains bogus.
