Jojo: As far as ignorance, I dont think you can touch me with a 50 foot pole as far knowledge of Dominican Republic and yes I am Dominican. But you are just like most Dominicans....extremely naive. You only live in present history. To you anybody shoved in front of you by the "limpiasacos" of today is a hero. We have firm heroes who have been engraved in our minds already in the mold of the Washingtons and the Lincolns. Duarte,Sanchez and Mella to name a few. They got their streets, although these guys were just figureheads in their time.

To some Peña Gomez is a hero. But of what? What did he do besides take a salary from the PRD party for 30 years without ever holding a regular job? The guy never worked a day in his life. He travelled abroad every other month at our expense. He wore $2000 dollar tailored suits and lived like a king. Can you tell me what he did? If you know any history...what did the Mirabals do besides one being a wife of Tavares Justo and the other just an opposer of Trujillo. Does that make them heroes? Did the fact they get killed make them heroes? What about the 30,000 Haitians Trujillo got rid off ...are they heroes? Maybe we should have a Haitians Killed By Trujillo Boulevard?

Hey man...if you compare some of our mickey mouse heroes with worldwide personalities who had an impact on mankind, you better take your argument somewhere else. I am too much into macro politics and history to bother with midgets. Almost every capital of the world has a Kennedy Boulevard. The Mirabals are nobodies. I have more respect for Jackie Kennedy, who lived thru a true impacting historical event that is still imprinted in everyones mind.
