I appreciate the Argentine perspective. I wonder if there are other Latin American posters who could enlighten us on this issue.

Does the phrase Ne Modo have the same meaning the rest of Latin America? Does that concept underly thinking there?

I doubt that things are that different for the average Mexican than it was under the Ciques, Spanish or the Church. Stand up and you are beheaded and your family enslaved. Stand up against the Cartels and you die. Trust only family. Seventy five years of one party rule and now two elections of Norte types in office. Not much time for a learning curve. I sincerly wonder if the police and military are outgunned in this current situation where the population does not dare to confront the perps?

You don't know me, but the other half of my family is Latino. So I can practice all the Spanish and get all the sizzle and smoke of things Latino without having to travel. I think you live in Lakeside, and I live up the hill in Ramona. You already know the climate here is the same as in Baja, so I don' t need the change in climate like the Canucks.

Kind of like this one:

"Operation TIPS—the Terrorism Information and Prevention System—is one of the latest initiatives of the Bush administration’s “war on terrorism.” According to a statement posted as recently as last week on the government’s web site, TIPS “will be a nationwide program giving millions of American truckers, letters carriers, train conductors, ship captains, utility employees, and others a formal way to report suspicious terrorist activity.”
