	Bolivia Needs Consensus and Property Rights, Not Elections
		What Bolivia needs is a dose of the opposite: compromise and civic education to get competing social groups to work together, laws to get the government out of the energy business, and a new legal framework to protect property rights.
		Because Bolivia’s constitution does not protect private property and subsurface resources belong to the state, control of government is crucial to both groups.
		Bolivia’s congress should consider repealing draconian energy taxes to restore foreign investment and then make it legally possible for citizens to profit from resources on their property.

	Ciao!: Bolivia's municipal elections
		If I focus mainly on Santa Cruz, forgive me, but: A) it was the most bitterly contested race, B) it's arguably the most dynamically changing city in Bolivia today, C) it's the center of recent challenges to the central state, and D) it's the city I was born in.
		What this means is that ADN, MNR, and MIR were wiped out in the capital (all had strongholds there), w/ over-hyped Jaime Paz Pereira (son of ex-president Jaime Paz Zamorra) capturing barely 6.4% — slightly behind former police major & might-be golpista (he led the police mutiny that attacked the presidential palace in February 2003).
		At this point, the 2007 general elections seem likely to come down to a MAS leftist option, a center-right ADN option (Tuto perhaps?), and a centrist option (most likely Juan del Granado).
