Coney Island's rides stood in a
dream-like state as I walked the boardwalk that morning. I overheard
Russian, Japanese and Hispanic conversations. Seagulls outnumbered the
people. Barges powered past. The rides behind the fences reminded me of
the 10 traveling carnivals I worked in the last year, as if it was a
past life.
The best way to teach love is to show
love. Rather than moving apart in fear and hatred, it is better to move
together in love and reconciliation. I've had a change of heart.

We all are familiar with Día de los Muertos -- the
white face paint, the illustrations of grinning skulls, the panoramas of
skeleton musicians and dancers. However, there is still great confusion
in America about what this holiday actually signifies. Although it
takes place at the same time of year as Halloween and shares the theme
of ghostly visitors, there are fundamental differences.
Today all Mexico resounds with the cry "They took
them alive, we want them back alive". If the 43 are ever found, and they
are dead (why and where would their abductors be hiding them?), all
hell may break loose. Are the president and his cabinet ready for a
major upheaval? Police, politicians and judges have been bought off or
put into office by the cartels. Mexicans are fed up with living in a
pervasive state of corruption and impunity.
