Mexico president gambles with left-leaning reform

[Judi Lynn]

3. Had you been a Republican, you would not have been changed

by your experience in Mexico. You probably wouldn't have noticed at all, and had you noticed, you would have felt unclean because you got too close to poor people.

It's O.K. to behave in unclean ways, lie, cheat, steal, work to create fear, and hatred, but that's just fine as long as they're materially comfortable.

It is horrendous realizing how much poverty is even here in the U.S. where the poor are loathed, and despised by those who obviously have had opportunities simply not available to the less fortunate.

What a shame Mexico has been left so vulnerable to the largest, greediest predators at the desperate expense of the people who MUST work to live, and for whom the future seems already written at birth, and it won't be good.
