Obviously--Bruce is telling us what to bring down--thank goodness he is on top of it-and informing us--re: all the other stuff--maybe bruce has his
own comments????? My thoughts (when I can still think- I think) are this: The only way it will be good for us American wetbacls (gringos) and our good
friends the Mexican people-we care so much for- is this--teach them-provide the necessary teaching tools--and teach them and do it for nothing-pay for
it- (then for the more non-compassionate of us) they will be able to do the work we need done. If it was done that way in the U.S. then things might
be better to. Some of you came up the hard way--and made it--we know - sometimes giving is wrong - if it goes to those that don't give a ---anyway.
But with good intent and some sembulance of intelligence on who to teach (give a man a fish-or teach a man to fish) then it normally works. That
basically says all I have to say about the long range future of Mexico-and all other countries -- including the USA--when we forget about our
neighbors-then we hurt ourselves.
Enough said--even simple things like borrowing Home Depots" vcrs" on construction-duping them and providing vcrs(how many extra ones do you have in
your home) Of course need someone to translate them into mexican(maybe Alacran(Paul) Simple things--what do you know that you can teach?? How many
tools can you bring down that don't really mean anything to you any more??? Me too??
Through desperation and destruction a light can shine through! All of you have done so much on this site--and many of you are doing so much now in
Mulege--No body is paying you - you are doing it because you want to or Have To-because that is the way you are--we all need more of you. Thank you.
