The future is unwritten

Some years ago I spent several weeks in Madrid and Oropesa. I walked the streets late at night with no fear. Franco had been dead for about 6 years but I was told by the locals that the police were supreamly powerful. They had great latitude in metering out punishment, on the spot, if they decided you were guilty of something. Also, I believe the Spanish Revolution was heavily influenced by outsides (read Nazis) but even many years after his death, Franco is loved and missed by many.
