During 1980 -1983 I worked for Save the Children Sweden stationed in Mexico DF while travelling all over the region visiting areas of disaster. It was possible then to suspect the actual events of today should be coming: If the world had changed course then it might been possible to stop the coming catastrophys. Now I think it is too late !
