"Try It: It Works! Some of the most serious preventable accidents occur because of blind spots while driving. Now there is a remarkable simple solution discovered by an engineer named George Platter. He presented his method at the prestigious Society of Automotive Engineers. The National Safety Council tested his theory and discovered, to their amazement, that it works! The method has been tested and fully endorsed by the National Safety Council as described in their September/October issue of Traffic Safety. Here's how it works.

First, forget how we learned to adjust our outside mirrors by plopping behind the steering wheel and turning the mirrors so that we just saw the side of our car looking back at us in the mirrors. Instead, adjust the driver's side mirror by resting your head against the driver's side window and then turning the mirror so that you just see the side of your car. Once this is set, move to the center of the vehicle and turn the passenger side mirror so that you can just see the side of your car from the center of the vehicle. That's it. You won't see your own car in either mirror, yet what you will see is far better. Cars behind you show up as usual in the inside rearview mirror above the dash, but the instant the car leaves your field of vision from the rearview mirror the outside mirror picks it up. No. blind spot; no delays; no wondering where that car about to pass you has disappeared to--and no waiting a few seconds for the car that you just saw in your rearview mirror to show up in your outside morrors. All three mirrors work in harmony with one another, and the blind spot has been elminated!"

El Firmazo is a success in terms of turnout, but I think the opposition is banking too much on the symbolism of the date. In the end they will regret it. When people see it doesn't produce results, they will be disappointed. You can only call the people to battle a few times, before leading a victory.

By the same token, the government will regret having used the strike as a weapon against the opposition. They could have defeated the strike on the first week, but instead they choose to exacerbate the strike in order to produce economic damage. They won, but in the long run the economic damage will be the death of the government party. Probably forever...
