    A pretty fascinating struggle out of Honduras, and how American investors are trying to loot the country and its public assets, and attempting to subvert democracy. Same story in Latin America (I've often been told this is a thing of the past).

    I know nothing about Honduran politics but I liked what I saw a couple of years back when I was in Honduras. I took the picture of the truck tailgate in a parking lot in Roatan, then saw the license plate in the next picture in the gift shop. They seem like my kind of people.

    So you think a license plate printed in a language other than what is used in the country. Represents the will of the people and not being for the tourist trade.

    Some things do change, that’s the second thread you've started this week. What’s the world coming to?

    Obviously the tag was stolen from the front of a pickup truck in Homestead or Sarasota and smuggled in as a trophy.
