Our Neighbors to the South

I've often thought of the people in Central and South America. It seems we know more about people across the oceans than we do them. I am sure the language barrier has a lot to do with it but with computer translation programs it should not be so. I've watched my little gadgets on my other blog (Old Old Story) and there are very few hits from down that way. I guess Russia and China still block the Internet, they don't hit on my site either. I can't help but wonder why governments are afraid to let people communicate with each other. Perhaps they are afraid of loosing some tradition. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it.
