As a writer this bothers me, especially when it comes from another writer. Aside from that nitpick, this is a great blog. I've read nearly the entire thing in one sitting.<BR/><BR/>I understand that this comment will be moderated, which is why I feel free to make it. I wouldn't publicly "call you out" so to speak.

Looks like my comment got lost in the series of tubes. :S<BR/><BR/>Basically, I mentioned that the "crime rate" cited is spectacularly low.

According to a February La Nación article (En lo que va del año, se cometió un delito cada tres días en algún country), there's a robbery every three days in a country.</EM><BR/><BR/>That is a <EM>spectacularly low</EM> crime rate, especially for Argentina. Think about it: Out of all the countries in BsAs a robbery occurred only once every three days. <B>Wow.</B><BR/><BR/>If the Guardian piece is correct and there are 400 countries then that means that less than 3.5% of the countries even had a robbery at all, during the first quarter.<BR/><BR/>This is exactly why people are moving to the countries. It's not hard to figure out. ;)doughttp://www.all-encompassingly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10990830.post-187362564251988012007-04-29T18:24:00.000-03:002007-04-29T18:24:00.000-03:00Can I ask you both in you beleive in freedom of the press and the right to disagree why then do you promote a known fascist on your blog who has been causing tremendous problems thru Buenos Aires with her vicious blog Quesedicenellos.<BR/><BR/> Mercedes stuart who does not even live in Argentina is trying to shut people up about the truth in Argentina.<BR/><BR/> Freedom to print without fear is the fundamental right of journalismAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10990830.post-18950719897108248742007-04-27T14:07:00.000-03:002007-04-27T14:07:00.000-03:0099: I think the difference is that people living behind the "country" wall are allowed to enter and leave as they please. <BR/><BR/>You may argue kids are kept beind the gates; but isn´t that more a parenting issue than a gated community issue?<BR/><BR/>I´ve lived all my life in gated communities, always had more friends "outside" than "inside", the difference is I´ve been able to leave my bike outside my door and find it in the same place the next morning.<BR/><BR/>Interesting debate though...<BR/><BR/>(and kudos to GoodAirs for being a great blog!)Oscarin &amp; Melhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18205182073851551722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10990830.post-85966186028810838612007-04-27T03:50:00.000-03:002007-04-27T03:50:00.000-03:00I have friends that live in a country and have 5 children ages 1 to 14 and are going through some of these issues. There´s a very interesting note of Spanish woman that describes the social effects in children at <A HREF="http://www.ub.es/geocrit/sn/sn-146(118).htm" REL="nofollow"> BARRIOS CERRADOS Y SEGREGACIÓN SOCIAL URBANA</A>. One of the points that she mentions is the lack of limits in the children <I>inside</I> the barrios even reaching infant vandalism.<BR/><BR/>I wonder why we shouldn´t compare the walls around <I>barrios cerrados</I> with other more infamous walls (Berlin, Palestina, Southern border of US with Mexico...). <BR/>Well, maybe we don´t because of the scale. But isn´t it always the same idea? Keeping the Others out and the Ones in?<BR/>In the old times (meaning the China wall or the fortified cities) the walls included all social classes inside... but still it was the idea of defense from the foreign invasive cultures or attacks that could destroy their own...<BR/><BR/>Interesting no? Borders are borders and anybody is free to autosegregate or to transcend them.<BR/><BR/>Myself? I believe in building bridges.99http://www.blogger.com/profile/07143493617807864880noreply@blogger.com
