Thank you for calling Mexico beautiful--I can't but agree, of course, but my opinion is kinda subjective :) You're right, many countries are in the same straits. I wonder how long it will take for the masses to stand up and say "enough". I can't abide violence and I'll never advocate for it, but I'm afraid the thread is being stretched too taut. When it snaps, I hope that beautiful country and culture survives intact.Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-19176541258565179012012-07-02T17:45:31.658-04:002012-07-02T17:45:31.658-04:00Ugh, such a stupid/pointless struggle for such a b...Ugh, such a stupid/pointless struggle for such a beautiful country and culture to endure. Sadly, I think many, many countries are suffering similar strife at the hands of idiot politicians and criminals (same?). Greece, etc.<br /><br />The violence and corruption has to end, and I think that starts with the masses saying, "We've had enough."<br /><br />Interesting post, as always, G. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273059558675234923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-11919871783730184192012-07-02T14:55:33.233-04:002012-07-02T14:55:33.233-04:00Ah, Lynne, so true.

Nice lies are so much easier to swallow than the hard truth--especially because, in doing that, one must also face one's own responsibility in allowing it to happen.

And sometimes one has to wonder if the other parties weren't in collusion--how can they pick such weak candidates?Guilie Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006999087139126972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-19968271169019453062012-07-02T13:55:51.643-04:002012-07-02T13:55:51.643-04:00Great and thorough analysis of the situation - no ...Great and thorough analysis of the situation - no answers because, as in the US, there aren't any. There's no accounting for what people will be swayed into believing. They'd rather believe nice lies than face hard reality.Lynne Hinkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01361943728649912762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436812892124383603.post-80130253485324941032012-07-02T12:52:05.001-04:002012-07-02T12:52:05.001-04:00to a lesser extent this seems to be what is happen...to a lesser extent this seems to be what is happening in the US too. We all hated Bush, but let's give his party power again. That worked so well before, right?PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
