Mr. Norvelle
Ok, I just have to jump in again. You are apologizing for your free rein of sarcasm (which you did not have to) but scolding Mr. MacGowen for his free rein of sarcasm in his “letter” to Pres. Calderon….how ironic! Again you make good points, as he did in his retort back to you. However, let me just gently remind you that humor is sometimes the best way to reach people…we Americans surely didn’t invent it as one can go back over the centuries in great and not so great literature and see authors poking fun at all sorts of establishment norms of their time. To your point that the Mexican people are a great people…I am sure that you could cite many individuals that are indeed so….however, please list some examples of world wide causes Mexico have taken on (such as eliminating Polio), or countries that they have saved from a tyrant/dictator (do I NEED to list examples of that?), diseases they have cured, etc. This is not to denegrate them but their acceptance of corruption and criminal behavior as the norm is quite frustrating, ESPECIALLY when I see thousands of Mexican people marching in MY AMERICAN streets demanding recognition and change from my government RATHER than heading south to the capital of Mexico for this, I take exception to your indignation….respectfully of course.
