I know Bolivia gets a lot of good-natured grief in here (and I know the origin), but actually it's an amazing place to visit. Mind you, it's not an EASY place to visit . . . despite what the article said, infrastructure is primative and transportation is far from reliable. The elevation will literally take your breath away, and you may spend the first few days in La Paz or Potosi sitting around your hotel with a headache sipping coca tea. But the people are wam and friendly, the culture (food, traditions, festivals) an exotic mix of European and indigenous, and the landscapes are jaw-dropping fantastic.

Southwest Bolivia, including the salt flats of Uyuni, is probably the most spectacular place I've ever visited, and as a geologist I've traveled all over the world. 

If you're into adventure tourism you should check it out.

(This would also give you the opportunity to honestly add, "Posting from Bolivia" to your required contribution in here.)

Given the pollution of the blog with the ~100 point crowd -- those with signup dates around the middle of November give or take, I'm guessing there hasn't been much banning going on. I mean who the hell negs a "Welcome " post or @will's birth announcement (http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/hello-ethan-alexander-co-2033)??? And how many BS Harbaugh threads were started where the content wasn't discernible because one is using "Harbuagh" as a noun, a verb, and an adjective? But it's a fine line to walk... not infringing upon one's 1st Amendment rights while taking out the trash.

I'll probably change it soon.  Only put it up out of spite on account of the ridiculousness of the recent Avatar/NSFW discussion.  Yes, I’m 4 years old.
