... in response to A kidnap story with happy ending...., posted by cancunhound on Jun 10, 2003This is article shows what I have been saying about Colombians for awhile.
DO NOT FEEL SORRY
Instead of helping to solve the problem in "the country they love so dearly" , she fled to a condo in Key Biscayne ,Miami.
Ask yourself , how many of you have a condo in Miami, a house/farm in Colombia, a few hundred thousand or more in a bank (probably a foreign bank)?
Also ask how many Colombians?
Here is a person making the eqiv of $4800 US dollars a month in Colombia, which is like making about 120,000$ here annually in the US.
If you want to feel sorry , feel sorry for the driver guard who was killed driving her Toyota Land Cruiser.
Instead of help solving the problem, she "flees" to Miami.
Yes, if she stayed life would be difficult, mnay sacrifices.
Instead the Colombians flee with their money to the US.
PS-
ACES nows flys direct to Ft Laudardale Palm Beach Area airport.
ACES has been a great benefactor of the conflict in Colombia.
Isn't nice so many Colombians now live in Palm Beach and Ft Lauderdale,, how many of you can buy a house there???
BIG BIG BIG money in play here.
No wonder the conflict never ends in a country the size of Texas.
