There's an interesting way to do that here in Panama. Mostly here in the province in which we live apparently - Panama Ouest. You can get rid of that pesky politician who made all those promises, or a friend to stabbed you in the back, or just about anyone you don't like. Happens every year at midnight on New Year's eve. Here's what you do. Build a dummy. They're called Muñecos
Sit it by the side of the highway. At midnight, you light him (or her) up and they're gone ! We first saw these things 9 years ago on a trip here and now have the full story ! Have a look at some of these dummies. We had to go out on Wednesday noon to get these photos and when we came back on Saturday, they were all gone. Presumably up in smoke !

I wonder what the story is for the first one here? Too many tweets from a friend?
These one below are easy: Martinelli (on the right) Ex President of Panama. Panama is applying to have him extradited from Miami where he's apparently taken up residence with the proceeds from his 6 years as President. The next one - Varela - is the current President of Panama. They ain't got him on anything - yet. Just wait until he finishes his 6 years?
Below: That looks a bit uncomfortable for the guy on the right. This group was just at the beginning of the road to our Kingdom Hall. A TV station unit was parked there taking some photos of these ones. So they must be important ones!
