I bow my head and fold my hands letting my spirit greet his. Goodbye old guy. He was 66. I'm told natural causes. I hope he died happy. He sure did SEEM like he would - I think the guy blushed through every one of his fifteen minutes! You're gonna laugh, but the first place I ever read one of his poems, or was near anything "Shel-esque" was in Playboy magazine. I was 12.

CENSOR # 9: U.S. TAX DOLLARS SUPPORT DEATH SQUADS IN CHIAPAS from the famous annual "top 25 censored stories article (long) http://www.sonoma.edu/ProjectCensored/t2599.html On December 22, 1997, in the village of Acteal, in the highlands of the Mexican state of Chiapas, 45 local men, women and children were shot as they were praying. Their bodies were dumped into a ravine. Elsewhere throughout the state of Chiapas, unarmed women face down armies "with fists held high in rebellion and babies slung from their shoulder." In Jalisco, more than a dozen young men were kidnaped and tortured. One of them, Salvador Jimenez Lopez, drowned in his own blood when his tongue was cut out. The group responsible for these and other atrocities are allegedly members of the Mexican Army Airborne Special Forces Groups (GAFE)-a paramilitary unit trained by U.S. Army Special Forces. Mexican soldiers are being trained with U.S. tax dollars to fight an alleged" War on Drugs, but peasants activists say the real motive driving the U.S.-supported war is the protection of foreign investment rights in Mexico. "In Chiapas, U.S. tax money pays for weapons and military ... to destroy a movement for social justice ... . The United States transfers aid to the Mexican military in cash, weapons and comterinsurgency training. The 1998 Clinton administration budget earmarked more than $21 million dollars for the Mexican Drug War, including $12 million for Pentagon training in "procedures for fighting drug traffic." Anti-drug effort seems to continue to focus on the Chiapas region where 80 percent of the communities are in conflict zones. According to the Zapatismo Papers (Wood), acts of inhumanity by GAFE were led by Lt. Col. Julian Guerrero Barrios, a 1981 graduate of the U.S.-sponsored School of Americas (SOA). Although it remains unknown how many of the 15 soldiers charged in the Acteal incident were trained at U.S. bases, the Pentagon has admitted that some of the soldiers arrested were U.S. trained.
