A gflngo in Mexico •
By Allen Wall
In downtown Terreon there are two important buildings that are
close to each other, the City Hall and the Federal Building. The
City Hall is the seat of the Torreon city government and the Fed-
eral Building is comparable to the former Murrah Building in Okla-
homa City.
The Federal Building houses various government offices: the mil
post office, the office that deals with foreigners where I have to
renew my work permit annually, a mining office, an office that grants
passports to Mexicans, and others. I also have my mailbox in this
building where I receive my mail.
Because of the importance of these buildings, they attract many
people who want to attract attention. For example, there is the "12
o'clock Loco," a crazy man who passes the Federal Building each
day at noon, screamingand gesturing toward the building; The
"12 o'clock Loco" is harmless, so people either ignore him or look on
with amusement.
Then there are the organized protesters, who from time to time
gather in front of one of these two buildings to protest some dire
injustice that the government should remedy in a manner that suits
their way of thinking. Once the bus drivers were on strike and
parked their busses in front of the City Hall for several days.
And every once in awhile there's a hunger strike in which a left-
wing political party will sit in front of the door of one of these build-
ings for several days without eating. Of course they're striking in
support of some particular cause. But I've noticed something curi-
ous--usually the hunger strikers are overweight to begin with. That
could mean one of two things. Maybe they're expecting a long hun-
ger strike so they start out with obese hunger strikers. Or maybe
the overweight hunger strikers were secretly planted by the gov-
ernment, to subtly suggest that, hey, the folks here aren't that de-
prived. After all, we still have overweight people.
