I read your comments on Honduras. It is obvious that you are not a resident of that country but a sometimes traveler. I wonder how many foreign countries you have been in and how many of them were third world countries. Your comments on Presidend Carlos Flores I find to be not all that well informed. I personally think that he is doing as good a job possible with what he has to work with. Sadle, all third world countries have a certain amount of graft and corruption. Some more, some less but he is trying to lower it as best he can. That was one of the planks in his platform when he ran for Presidant last year. Why is would it be any different in Honduras than it is here in the states as far as the rich being the only ones to be able to run for president. How many of the poor people her have the opportunity to win a presidential election. As to the dirty condition of the country, that is due to the lack of money for cleaning it up. The people have lived that way for so long that they don't really notice it too much. It is not because they like to have it that way but because they don't have the resources, especially in the larger cities like Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula, to handle the large amounts of garbage that is generated every day. Have you ever been to Siguatepeque. It is a smaller city and has new garbage trucks that were given to them by U.S. concerns. There the streets are much cleaner as they have what is need to do the job. My suggestion to you would be to remain in a country than is affluent so that it doesn't offend your senses
