"Para el mexicano, la vida es la posibilidad de chingar o de ser chingado" Octavio Paz - anaserve.com [i think originally you passed me this] .. speaking of Paz - Message 4131307 We are more able to conjugate the verb 'ganar' than we used to be, imho ... there are changes, slowly, slowly ... among average people ... which is where all real change comes from ... but man, it is slow ... so many reluctant to accept the responsibilities that go hand in hand with the rights ... which in fact make the rights, from nothing. Cuba is some steps behind, but when cubanos are ready to change it, they will. Pushing won't help them, but having good neighbors might.

OK, you guys. Take pity on us blue-eyed blondes. I tried a dozen on-line dictionaries, none of which ever heard of chingar. Then I climbed the spiral staircase to my library, climbed a ladder, dusted off an old, dead tree, 60's edition of a Spanish-English dictionary and found a definition that must have lost something in the translation. If you're going to be arcane, at least give us a break and either do it in English or post an arcania alert. <g> Karen
