How inspiring is this?!
Here's an article about the protest against the Central American Free Trade Agreement: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070930/pl_nm/costarica_usa_protests_dc
The Ministry of the Presindency and brother of Oscar Arias said that there are only "4 gatos" supporting the NO to the CAFTA agreement.
This is a common expression to say that very few people are involved in something.
So the crowd of more than 100k people are calling themselves "Los cuatro gatos que tuvieron gatitos" the four cats who had kittens.
I really hope that the Referendum next Sunday is approved, which would effectively remove Costa Rica from CAFTA.

Sadly the referendum went through (by a very close vote, less than 4%) and now Costa Rica will be going along with CAFTA.
