Medical students run from tear gas fired by police as they protest in solidarity with striking public doctors in La Paz, Bolivia on April 24. Public doctors are on their 28th day of an indefinite national strike in response to a decree by President Evo Morales that extends professional working hours from six to eight hours per day.

I believe that this is why most of the Latin American countries are still 3rd world. They work for 2 hours in the morning, take a 2 hour siesta, then work 2 more hours and are done for the day. I don't mean to be insensitive but to protest an 8 hour work day seems just a bit silly when I'm putting in 8-10 every day. I do understand the cultural differences (been there) and could never understand the seeming lack or work ethic.
