A Famous Chilean
Sorry to dissapoint you guys, but I don't really know a lot of famous people from chile, and the few ones, I don't admire them. I mean, there's a lot of chilean people that have achieved big goals and are known world wide, so you could say I respect them, but I don't admire them, and I'm not really interested in their work. Maybe the person that's closest to that is Diego Portales. He was a businessman who was granted the monopoly of tobacco. But this business did't work out, since there was a lot of trafficking. So he started to think that the governing people, the "pipiolos" that were liberals, weren´t competent enough to lead the nation, because they couldn´t even guarantee what they promised to Portales. Here comes the thinking that people cannot be responsibles for theirselves and until they are, there must be an authoritarian government. I know it's a bit radical, and I don't totally agree with that, but sometimes I think society needs to mature. A lot of stupid things have happened and I'm sure a lot more are going to happen for a really long time. The thing is, if they are not allowed to think by theirselves in this period, how are they supossed to mature? It's a trial and error process, so they need to make mistakes, I think. You could say that now I'm going against what Portales said, but I rather like all the toughts and dilemma that this thinking brings. Anyway, like I said, people need to grow up psychologically (including me).
