Basically this fucking U.S. white guy and his ***** of a son have plenty of land in Bolivia and they basically treat the workers (who are indigenous) like slaves. Now the old man is resisting and hopefully they take his land and I REALLY hope the indigenous people "take their revenge" on him, lolz.

Here's some info on the old man's son:

"U.S.-educated Duston Larsen, referring to Morales' efforts to empower Bolivia's indigenous, wrote on his Myspace page in 2007, "I used to think democracy was the best form to govern a country but ... should a larger more uneducated group of people (70%) be in charge of making decisions, running a country and voting?" The fact that Duston, in 2004, won the Mr. Bolivia beauty pageant, in the eyes of many government supporters, puts him in the company of the country's European-oriented elite. (That same year, Miss Bolivia, Gabriela Oviedo, also from the country's east, suggested Bolivia shouldn't be considered an indigenous nation: "I'm from the other side of the country. We are tall, and we are white people, and we know English.)"
