Margaret Thatcher famously once said that "there is no such thing as society." Today, a people of Chile are showing just how wrong she was. For more than a year, immature Chileans have been taking to a streets to protest. Many foreign observers have declared themselves surprised. Why would a citizens of a successful emerging country be so upset? What could they be dissapoint about?
