CURRENT MISSION Travel in South America ABOUT ME Hi everybody, I'm a journalist traveling a year or so in South America. I've stayed out way too late in Lima, dug a hole in Nasca, rocked out in Arequipa, worked and farmed potatoes in Cusco, and now I'm on to Bolivia. My travel website is here: www.chris-lewis.net/travel PHILOSOPHY "Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a gang member in Neza, a rocker in the National University, a Jew in Germany, an ombudsman in the Defense Ministry, a communist in the post-Cold War era, an artist without gallery or portfolio.... A pacifist in Bosnia, a housewife alone on Saturday night in any neighborhood in any city in Mexico, a striker in the CTM, a reporter writing filler stories for the back pages, a single woman on the subway at 10 pm, a peasant without land, an unemployed worker... an unhappy student, a dissident amid free market economics, a writer without books or readers, and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains of southeast Mexico. So Marcos is a human being, any human being, in this world. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalized and oppressed minorities, resisting and saying, 'Enough'!" -Marcos, Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional leader
