Yea, the GN boys have confiscated my food before.
Beef, chicken, pork.
Focus now....
Can anybody look up and provide the rule of Mexican law regarding importation of food into Mexico?
It's not like you see big signs or photos of confiscated food at the state border crossing, like you do at military check points of drug busts.
I just figure the boys at GN are hungry and these days my typical response to the question is, "No Fruitas, No Drugas, No Hoto's."
I smile, they laugh and they wave me along. |
Most countries restrict imports of beef, poultry, etc and many states withing a country have their own restrictions. I'll try and track down Baja
Surs ag restrictions. For the las 10 years or so I usually get very good beef and poultry in Baja so I don't worry about it any more.
Diane, our markets generally get pretty good meats... problem is they run out.
and Taxcutter...its Joto

They did not get the spelling of inalienable right, though. They used "unalienable."

Hmmm, the Bill of Rights is "fanciful ... propaganda"? Fanciful maybe ... |
... The Bill of Rights does not talk about unalienable rights. That comes from the Declaration of Independence
|
Oops. I stand corrected. Furthermore, I just looked up "propaganda," which I always assumed had certain negative connotations, and I found I was
wrong on that point too. 
Yep, the Declaration of Independence does seem to be "propaganda," as it originally was defined.

It's ALL Propaganda
EVERY Political Statement and, for that matter any statement of opinion, is technically Propaganda.
AND, whether the word choice was Tom's, Ben's or (more likely) John Adams', the use of Unalienable was perfectly correct at the time.
In modern usage, "Inalienable" has seemingly prevailed although there is (was) a difference between the two.

It depends what is meant by "Political Statement." As for "any statement of opinion" being propaganda, I don't agree. One can state one's opinion
with no intention to persuade, in which case (especially if the statement did NOT persuade), it would not be propaganda.

Now if you want really crappy beef, follow me next week as I head to the highlands of Guatemala. The best beef if cooked in a pressure cooker for a
few hours and then smothered in ketchup in order to force it down.
Live in Mexico and vacation in Guat. Go figure. |
Guatemala has great beef.... go to the market early in the morning
