I was involved in a discussion this past week with a Dominicano about the poor political and economical conditions of the D.R. He mentioned the riches of the country in forms of agriculture, tourism, minerals, and oil. I listened incredulously, being quite skeptical of his statement and told him if the country had any oil the country would not be in the sad situation it is now in. He went on to say oil had been discovered in the Azua region so many years back. Of course, no firm dates or particulars were provided. He continued, indicating the government hushed up the incident and added that ?Guzman? was killed to keep things quiet. I can only pin the name to Antonio Guzman a former President, who committed suicide. The more I questioned the validity of my friend's information, the more entrenched he became.
This story really belongs in The Clown Bin, if it did not mention Guzman. I?m still scratching my head, would like to know how rumors like this get started? Regards, PJT
