Support the Zapitistas against the neo-liberals. Unfortunately the movement doesn't have as much enthusiasm as it once did. It's good to know they resorted to more peaceful means, however. Though, on a side note, although Mexico is kind of bowing down to such McGlobalization, it's good to know that other countries are taking a more direct response to it and joining the movement against neo-liberalism and imperialism. Of course I'm mostly talking about the movement largely generated by Chavez and Venezuela, which more latin American countries are jumping aboard.
