It's not a little ironic - mestizochicks saying "go back to Europe." Which part of yourself do you revile most, honey?

HAHA!

Does she like being called your little taco bender?
That is probably the nicest of the bunch...;) One of the reasons I love her...her sense of humor(i.e. tolerance of mine!)

Mexico has had plenty of revolutions and for a lot less cause than they have today...I don't know why they don't have another one either. The trouble in Chiapas a few years ago with the Indians was the last "disturbance" I recall but I forget what it was about. As for a full-scale country-wide revolution...none for a very long time now, since 1912 or something.

They should revolt though...if for no other reason than to redistribute all that oil money the rich have been/still are stealing. But that's business as usual down there and I guess thepoor (i.e., most people in Mexico) just accept it.

Why revolt, when you can take a nighttime walk into a country that has already done the hardpart for you!?

Good point.

But if they had a revolution and fixed their own country/economy, they wouldn't need to come here.

That's one reason I hopeto leave Mexico soon and move back to America.

HA! I first thought you lived in Mexico, then looked at your location, too me a minute to get that one! :D
