Dear Roger and readers: It is most unfortunate that you relate Velasco (not 'Velazco') with the bill limiting land property. I give you here some hints as of why the comparison is completely absurd and ignoring the most simple and basic facts: 1- Velasco`s 'agrarian reform' was actually promoted by businesspeople and industrials. They found the market scarce within the former feudal regime prevailing in Perú since before the Incas. They ended that system on the hopes of increasing their buyers, without any regard for tradition or the country´s future, just moved by short sighted greed. 2-Now that they don´t care any longer about getting profit on local markets but on exports, they want to do precisely what they condemned before, when scaring military with the false argument that allowing much land in few 'hacendados' hands will trigger a socialist revolution. As it fits their greed today, what they condemned before is what they themselves are making, having left in the process the former agrarian prosperity in ruins. They don´t hold to ideals, just to trends in profit. 3-Agro industrials as those represented by Gloria, Romero and Oviedo groups, couldn´t care less about biodiversity, fair commerce or sustainability, they only care about utilities and farm products that go directly against the true richness of peruvian geographic and natural diversity. 4- Agro industrials as those represented by Gloria, Romero and Oviedo groups, couldn´t care less about public health, introducing products that not only destroy Peru´s fragile ecosystem (as other business groups have been destroying brazilian amazonic rainforest) but also farm crops that are proved to gradually harm consumers, they only want to increase profit. 5-Likewise big mining companies want now to continue expanding the net of highways running through the amazon basin as giant wounds through which the infection of million farmers will depredate the last virgin rainforest the world has, only to get some more unnecessary coins to their already full pockets, they are not only psychopaths but criminals, as in the future common sense call them to be judged. Any sensible human being should be against such people using arguments as it suits them better, destroying anything opposed to their insatiable greed, a mental and psychological sickness that has brought our western financial system to the crisis that we are living. Not by chance a recent study shows that among corporate executives the rate of psychotic profiles is alarmingly high, though we could all realize that just by common sense and being men of honor, as hacendados were, not shop keepers. You shall think better and not defend Judases selling the future of our country and children for thirty coins, as they would again sell Christ for silver, even if it was their god and Messiah, greetings, Lyras

Lyras, by the regurgitation of sophomoric rhetoric not based on any adult or even business experience, I must deduce you are a recently educated university theorist. You have no idea the harm the last "reforms" did to Peru. the overpopulation of the capital and it's damage on the ecosystem is a direct result of the exodus from the regions affected by past reforms which only beefited the military and their supporters. It had no basis on business but revenge by the socially marginalized who have profited by reselling land to which they never had rights and still owe indemnification to those robbed. Maybe as you mature and learn outside of a book or some failed professor's teachings, you will acquire wisdom rather than your psuedo-knowledge.
