I was walking through the town of about 150 people this summer in Jalisco, where most of the houses did not have glass in the windows and there were more donkeys than cars in town. I hung out in front of a store with some local townspeople, because the roof was the only shade in the area, and had a few beers with the people there, aged anywhere from about 14 years old to above 90. A few of them spoke English, and every one of them went out of their way to welcome me and tell me how happy they were that the mine was going to re-open. I dont think they were talking out of fear, or trying to bullshit me. I think they were just typical friendly Mexican people, who had been deprived of opportunities that we take for granted for most of their lives, and they were happy that things were were about to improve.
