December 1st will be a good day for South America....
José and Alex: you go boys.....because the continent's first ever homosexual marriage will take place.
The couple, José María De Bello and Alex Freyre, got their appointment confirmed at a registry office in Buenos Aires, Argentina today. They chose December 1st (with a little help from the authorities in question) for the following reason (let's allow José Maria explain):
The couple got the chance to marry when last week the Argentine courtrooms overturned the (until then) existing laws banning homosexual marriages as inconstitutional (and Buenos Aires City Mayor Macri didn't appeal the decision, thank the stars), so mark Tuesday December 1st 2009 as a date when LatAm takes another solid step towards social maturity.

"We're happy because we now have a set date to marry on World HIV-AIDS day, a date that is part of our militancy against discrimination that not only attacks sexual diversity but also those who have HIV/AIDS."

Peru = Block
It's the only keyword you need.
Peru plans to block homosexuals from its police force. It will also bar anyone caught having an extramarital affair. The reason for both groups beng barred is so as not to "damage the institution". Hopefully these new laws will only apply to new recruits and not existing officers, as your humble correspondent wouldn't like to see 30% of the country's police out of a job so quickly.
The Peru block on flights to and from Mexico has been lifted. The mortality rate is shaping up at 1%, so even though it's nasty it's not the end of the wooooooooooooooorld.
The Peruvian town of Choropampa has blocked the road to Yanacocha, South America's biggest gold mine that's run by NEM and BVN. They are complaining about the total lack of everything aimed at them from the now famous mercury spillage nine years ago. We covered the story last year and here's the link to the article. The basic truth is that these people are forced to break the law and bring Yanacocha to a standstill before anyone, company or government, bothers listening to them. This humble corner of cyberspace applauds Choropampa and shouts "BOO HISS" to Yanacocha. Shame on you, Newmont. Shame on you, Buenaventura.
