My buddy who relocated to Costa Rica sent me the following as part of
his holiday greetings email:

"internet sessions and the "noticias" from el EEUU are depressing. I
spent my afternoon in a national park that contains public schools,
conservation programs, computer literacy, and foreign language--very
impressive. Languages, conservation, culture, national pride--all
because they have no military. This would make Dick Cheney crawl with
hate. I've split for the south and the beaches. No time for downloads today.
