"Counteract those minuscule groups that want to harm us greatly and that want to impose their agenda on us regardless if

they haven't even won the elections of the local parent board at their children schools." - Rafael Correa. Ecuadorian President

Correa dramatically defended mining activity against the protests of what he says is 200 people. "I am not in favour of the

mining activity; I am in favour of good judgment. If the mining activity was bad then why does Norway, the most developed

country in the world, have mines? If the mining activity is against ancestral indigenous rights, then why does Evo Morales in

Bolivia, the first indigenous President of the continent, with an indigenous population of more than 60%, have the mining

activity as the basis of its economy?...I will not continue to allow a handful of irresponsible people who are not representative of

anybody to install the chaos in the country without any legitimacy or legality, and to try to impose their agendas - agendas that

are insensate, absurd and irrational." The message was commendable, indeed. Though, we do wish he used more facts, figures,

and specifics to sell his case. Don't merely tell the people what the truth is; show them, too. But he is no less correct
