		LA PAZ, Bolivia – Peasant roadblocks and a 48-hour transport strike brought Bolivia's capital to a standstill and cut it off from the airport Thursday as protests demanding the nationalization of the energy sector showed no signs of abating.
		Teachers, healthcare workers, truckers and miners have all jumped on the nationalization bandwagon after Congress approved a law two weeks ago that fell short of their aspirations of state control over Bolivia's most precious resource – the second largest natural gas reserves in Latin America.
		Adding to the political deadlock are the demands of the wealthy eastern provinces, home to Bolivia's oil and gas, which want more autonomy from La Paz to exploit their resources – a move firmly rejected by the Indians of the barren west.
