CLINTON ST. QUARTERLY mother of a friend of mine who had been gunned down in his office for his organizing efforts on behalf of miners in the Huehuetenango area. She was bitter, confused and frightened. His death wasn’t just another distant statistic, but an object lesson for all who’d known him. “ He was such a good boy, so loving, so respected,” she told me again and again. His funeral brought out the entire community, for he’d lived as openly and classlessly as any individual thereabouts. She wasn’t sure what could or should be done, but knew that “ those responsible” would be taken care of. As Carlos Vela indicates, it’s up to all of us, for finally it’s our government that has propped up, militarily and financially, these amazingly corrupt and bloodthirsty regimes to protect our “ interests” in the area. We’ve helped create the moral climate which allows any affected capitalist to simply blow away his opposition.
