You won't have to worry JR, they will sort themselves out. Just like back home.
Bernie really open a gaping wound with that sad story. We would(selfishly) like to think that "our" cultural mantra would somehow spill over to Baja
or anywhere else. How our different values and attitudes clash is something not given much thought until you see it up front and personal. Harder yet
is the ability to look through our own programming and see the "why" of it all. Thanks for the insight.

Bernie I have to admit that I had a hard time reading your story. I have seen similar things in other parts of the world. I guess I would love to
believe that everything is coming up roses in baja, but I know it isn't. Every time I feel sorry for myself when some little thing goes wrong in my
life, I try to remind myself of the people down here who have little or nothing and their still smiling and sharing. Its sad and beautiful at the same
time.
Jr, what is a clucker? I hope Im not one, it doesn't sound good.

Sort of a general term
pertaining to chicken coup groupers. Those that u2u their clellow cluckers in search of support rather than have a backbone of their own. Look under
long winded stories and you will find the lead cluck!

Good message! When we look south and see smiling faces and people who will to share all they have, which is basically nothing, we should take heart
and realize that if we worked at it for a few lifetimes we just might get close to their giving and caring.
That is why I love Baja because I am always in school when I am down there and the classes can be hard but they almost always teach a lesson that
people like us who have so much need to learn.
I guess you could say that it is also the reason I enjoy most of the people on this board--They bring me knowledge and to me that is far better than
the best of wines.
