I like to pretend that Mexican culture is the equal of American culture so
that people will think I'm fair minded. All cultures are equal, some just create the internet and walk on the moon a thousand years ahead of some other cultures. Maybe Mexico would be a nice place to live and work if the Mexicans put 1/5 of the effort they spend on running away into making it modern and productive. Why should people all over the world improve where they live when they can just buy a plane ticket or start walking? Maybe they know the real value of "the old country." -- Scott The mainstream Left has demonstrated clearly which side of the battle to preserve Western civilisation and freedom it is on.
