Once again, several important roads in Bolivia are blocked. Sometimes it is difficult to go to work, the cities don't get vegetables and other supplies from the countryside, the countryside can't sell its supplies; the damage is sometimes estimated at a few million dollars per day. And better forget about visiting your family in other cities - you never know if you might get stranded in the other city, or on the highway.

"For veteran observers of Bolivian politics, there is nothing particularly new about regular street demonstrations, road blockades and protest marches." (BBC)
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
