There is no reason to assign blame or penance for the a fore mentioned actions. While the current blog may not be used as regularly as some in society may demand, it does not devalue it's importance. A treasured photo album or journal is not worth more or less by the number of times other people look at it, while at the same time I may watch a Chillies commercial signing "Baby-back Ribs" a thousands times but still not consider it a precious commodity (If that commercial reference is no longer up to date please feel free to inset what ever annoying commercial is now being played).

And Adam's failure to participate or "co-opt" the blog is not due to our selfishness (although we are likely selfish or at least self indulgent) but rather to his inability to engage the material presented to him in a meaningful and insightful manner, or at the very least make enough jokes to reassure us that Illimani says' integrity will be maintained if even under new leadership. Failing to do such it is our duty to reject any offer of co-optation (which seems less and less like an offer and more like a demand...like when Germany co-opted France a while back) and to once again begin the inane task of writing our opinions for all the world to share in.

With that in mind I think we should all just start using this blog like one big mass email only with no set number of the people we have to individually respond to. Or at the very least spend the next two weeks making enjoyable references to a number of inside jokes and funny moments that have to do with Bolivia.

Either way I am happy to see you again Illimani...I wonder what secrets you hold inside you right now?
