EZLN site

Check out the Zapatista web site. Particularly interesting is the Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandona. (And you can get it in English!) It gives one a good idea of the position the Zapatistas are taking, and the simple reasons why. Of note is the simple language and humble attitude of the article, which is designed to appeal to the average layperson. One finds it easy to empathize with their position. I think it's great that their 'encuentros' are called intergalactic, "just to be silly." Check it out!
