>>Mexican history?<< You left out the domestication of maize and the invention of the taco.

"take over at least part of the USA again." With an advantage: now with the goodies on it :-)

Maurice, That must be a quote from that famous work "Maurice's Pocket History of the World". <G> The main impression you get there is that the place has lots of history, it just seems ancient in a way. Even European history there predates the US by 100 years or more. One strange thing about the US/Mexico relationship, at least till recently is how little cultural exchange has existed. Now that the two nations are practically merging, for all practical purposes it casts that in a strange light. Of course language is a big part of it, but I really believe there is more to it than that. I bet your average Kiwi knows as much about Oz as he does his own home land and I bet there is a long history of trade and product familarity. It is that way between the US and Canada but not with Mexico but that is changing in a hurry. How well this cultural assimilation goes has a really big bearing on the US economy in the future. So far, despite the occasional frictions it is going extremely well. Slagle
