Jesus and Autonomy

On May 4th the Bolivian Department of Santa Cruz will vote (illegally) on regional autonomy, to separate themselves from La Paz (the central government) in what some have called a statutory divorce. Yeah, its a big deal. But it's also slightly ridiculous, just like the constitional assembly pushed through by the central government was a big deal, but also slightly ridiculous. By ridiculous, I mean not that productive, but seemingly lacking other options.

Anyway, click the link above for a humorous summary of possible events if you so desire.

Meanwhile enjoy how santa cruz set up their "Vote Yes" rally around the enormous Jesus statue, as if Christ is hailing the vote for Autonomy.
