I did it. Today I went to town. Truth be told, I kind of had to; I was out of wine and the phone bill was due. No phone, no internet and no wine, no silly posts like this.
So I had to go.
And I made it to the first gas station with the gas gauge hovering around empty. The first gas station is also the only one within a thirty minute drive from my village, going either south or north, which made me contemplate, again, the pro's and con's of monopoly, as we have here in Mexico. The monopoly of Pemex.
And that made me think of a silly remark I read, where an agitated politician asked his adversary if he was in favor of " benign dictatorship".
Isn't that an oxymoron ?
just as describing, as some politicos here in Mexico have, Pemex as "benign monopoly " surely is an oxymoron too.
Wonder what "oxymoron" is in Spanish.
