Do you recognize this character?

If you are a Colombian citizen I am sure you know who it is, no matter if you're an adult, youth or child; or even if you are any other nationality surely if you see his face might associate with Colombia immediately ... for me it is something that fills me with immense sadness.

Assuming you're a reader who not know the subject will make you a brief account: it is Mr. Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria, one of the most bloodthirsty drug traffickers that have existed in my country and that although it has been more than 22 years of his death even today his legacy persists and I do not mean maybe your organization continues to operate today, no, I mean the great significance that the mass media, especially television give the subject if it is true that a country that ignores its history is doomed to repeat it, but is this the way? They do not seem very sad that if you ask a child of tender age by who this person would you respond in detail ?? And all this is thanks to the banquet that provide us with public television, of course not blame them because I do not think anyone stop doing something that makes you money in abundance.

In my country, Colombia, is very common to find a lot of television series inspired by the life of many of the characters who left a legacy of blood on him, wealthy men, surrounded by squads of armed goons and exuberant women with small items dress.
For me the worst thing is that this is the image that we are selling the rest of the world and pretend that the foreign citizen does not feel fear when coming to Colombia for the first time, it is time to reflect
