Argentina

Notice how all of Argentina's neighboring states (as well as Argentina) are republics? How is it that they have not achieved the same success as the republics of Europe and the United States. I'll try to elaborate on this a little later on, but I want y'all to keep the issue of geographic size in mind when thinking about this conundrum.

Also, prior to World War 1, Argentina's economy was the fourth largest in the world. What happened? I'll try and explain that, too. I'm sure you are all ecstatic.

BBBS was fantastic today. We had some organic farmers come in and tell us about their farm and show us a video of a 25 lb. bobcat that they caught. The kids really enjoyed it (and so did I!). Anyway, I'm off to a meeting! Love

Oh! And did y'all notice that Argentina also has Antarctic claims? Polar fiiiiiiight!
