"OROBTC, if you want a community of political conservatives, would you find that any where in Latin American countries such as Peru? My visit to Colombia in 2001 lead me to believe Latinos are very liberal. The Catholic religion doesn't seem to make them conservative."

Latin Americans, IMO, are probably at least as receptive to FSA & SJW siren-calls as US Americans.  My very limited observations of Peru would be along your lines: liberal (in the modern, USA, Socialist meaning).

But, at least in Peru, few go to church anymore.  Reminds me of Italy, all these essentially abandoned churches with few people actually worshiping there.  More tourists.

In the Econ. Total. thread I mention a little about The Road to Ruin, the brand-new book by Jim Rickards.  I just started.  I will have lots more to write about it as I explore his ideas.

Of interest is that many of his ideas, so far anyway, parallel Armstrong's ideas.
