El Tiempo reminds us that we are drawing in on the 20th anniversary of Colombia’s current constitution:  Hace 20 años Colombia estrenó su Constitución.

Seeing that number is striking to me, even if it is no surprise after a nano-second’s reflection.  I started studying Colombia’s constitution (and especially its effects on parties and elections) when the ink was barely dry (my first research trip on this topic was in 1992).  As such, this is one of those “gee, time does fly” moments.
