1. Thanks for posting stuff like this

in GD, opihi. Such a light-hearted break from the sometimes heavily charged atmosphere.
You can't not smile at Andre Rieu's infectious playing and conducting. He's truly a social phenomenon.
Probably too low-brow for the purists, but I don't care!

3. Once you get away from the border, IMHO, Mexico is a fantastic country with wonderful

people. They are much like us, only in Spanish.

Did someone say there were no good people in Mexico?

This thread is kinda.... I dunno. Awkward, I guess.

7. You rarely hear anything positive about Mexico and Mexicans, at least in the American media.

Partly that's because "bad news sells", so poverty, illegal immigration and drug violence grab all the headlines. It's just easy to overlook that there is a wonderful people living normal lives that aren't portrayed in the headlines that is overlooked by the constant depiction of Mexico as one big set of problems.

I know the first time I went to Mexico City I was expecting something along the lines of "Mexico=problems and poverty" because that is all I had ever heard about. I was very pleasantly surprised by the level of history and culture and how "American" (in Spanish, of course) people are there.

9. And here's an example of what this leads to among low-information voters.

Crowd boos at mention of Mexico (GOP debate)

Juan Williams mentioned Mexico in a question a few minutes ago and some people in the crowd booed loudly. Racist much?

Sick.
