About Us
Postcard
is a site
run by the 16th century Spanish monk, Alonso De Molina. After
conquerors of the Spanish Empire invaded and colonized Aztec Mexico in
the 1500s, De Molina was instrumental in compiling the first
Spanish-to-Nahuatl
dictionary. He is also credited with the
discovery and naming of "salsa", the Aztec food topping made of
tomatoes and peppers. Today, salsa is enjoyed on fried
tortilla
chips.
The
aim of Postcard is to deliver content on languages, history, and
beautiful women. The face of languages in the world today is
a
direct result of powerful armies colonizing less organized nations over
the last 500 years. While the invading languages remained
relatively unchanged, the conquered ones were shattered forever.
Many are mangled beyond recognition, marginalized, or simply
replaced by the invading language.
That having been said, Postcard is written in English for several
reasons. English earned its place in the sun only 200-300
years
ago, when the British Empire dared to conquer more land and peoples
than other country before it. Among its greatest achievements
was
the subjugation of India and China, whom Britain harnessed for its own
economic gain. At the same time, the British systematically
destroyed the populations of North America and Australia. Now,
after two world wars, the United States has won control of
former
British assets for itself, and English remains entrenched as a
superpower language.
Also, Postcard loves beautiful women. Everyone loves
beautiful
women, even other women.
Thus, Postcard sets sail out into the world. Enjoy your stay,
and
come back often.
Wishing you all the best,
Alonso
