We need a Ju rez, an educated Zapata ... a new Vasconcelos [yes, education is paramount] ... but we have Fox ... well, it's a clearer choice than in the US this year, too bad the main benefit is essentially a negative one, getting shut of the PRI ... still, who knows, he may turn out alright ... i do expect the curse of the sexenio to whack the peso, though ... especially on a turning over of the books from the PRI ... Notice i slipped the 'lol' into the symbol comment there ... it doesn't matter whether you're paranoid or not if people are out to get you, lol Yes, the M‚x-Can thing makes more sense, great mangos traded for great skiing, and there is the added advantage of that healthy distance of buffering No-mans-land between. In re both corruption and contaminacion - we are rural people in both countries, we make in M‚x perhaps weekly a trip to a regional town of one hundred thousand, in transit to and from the country we see el DF and maybe Veracruz for a few days, so all comments are in that light ... our last and third-to-last times in el DF we could see more than six blocks, quite good timing ... once i travelled there in a hurry from La Paz BCS for important meetings, and within hours fell too sick to cope at those meetings ... fantastic pollution, you could shovel the crap ... i wouldn't live there if you paid me, but then that is true of all cities. However, in the ejidos it is a different story, there is a growing consciousness of the effects of practises on the land ... it is said that the Ley Ambiental is among the best-written on the planet, and i know it is being enforced more and more on the ejidos, a cousin does that, i ride with him in his pickup sometimes ... and there are so many clean mountain towns, coastal towns ... much more to it than the border and industrial areas. When you see Butchart Gardens be sure to go to the museum by the Parliament buildings, and to the IMAX theatre [to which i haven't been, but my wife just went and raves about it] ... it's a pleasant corner of the planet, too bad mangos won't make it through the winter .... cheers [edit] - there's an article here called 'Does the PRI use welfare to gain votes?' - herald.com ... my father-in-law still has a truckload of cement blocks in the yard from the last election, lol
