Good morning, friends. News I have read. Thoughts.

I´m trying to send you some heat from here. I know that most of you are cold and I´m Very hot (warm is not the word). I turned off the news. They are too bad. Some of them are just absurd. I read that in the US, President Trump has just banned in some ways the use of Spanish. I checked and discovered that in the US, over 43 million people have Spanish as their first language. I remembered a story that Dixie told me. When the dictator Pinochet was in power, the militars banned the use of any other language that was not Spanish in schools. At that time Dixie went for a long while to Easter Island (Rapanui) and the house she was staying was the house of an islander. The young boy who lived in the house came every day with his hands with blood. He had been beaten for speaking Rapanui. And he said that he would not stop. So when Dixie came back, she offered to take Johann with her. Here, in the continent, words in Rapanui would be a way to have more friends at school. He stayed with his "conti" family until he graduated. And he went to Easter Island for holidays. You DO NOT stop people from speaking their own language. There are more news, but I won´t talk about them here. My post would be too long. See you later.
