It was something to talk about while we were thinking. It's a difficult subject.

"Things the Mexicans do right"? Everything!
American by birth, Mexican by choice.
Signature addendum: Danish physicist — Niels Bohr — who said, “The opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.

Done right; The family respects and takes care of its old people.
Now, as to those topes. In the USA the fire departments don't like them because they slow their emergency response. So many cities have gone to using
"speed humps" as opposed to "bumps." The humps with proper design can be taken at a faster speed, say 25 MPH. They send the message, they slow you
down, but they don't scrape the undercarriage. Way more civilized.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Things Mexicans do right? In general, they don't stress. I think they don't know what stress is.
Also, I spent over $6,000 over a period of 5 years trying, using American doctors, to find out what was causing this tremendous pain I was suffering.
After all these test were done in the US one doctor told me the pain and swelling I was going through( my arm looked like my leg) was all in my head
because my wife had cancer and I was freaking out! After spending 10 days imobolized in bed here in Baja I was referred to a doctor in Cabo. He took
one look at me and said I think you have !!!!!!(a certain cronic desease)and gave me some pills. I asked him if I would feel better soon(because I
was totally miserable) and he said by morning. In an hour I was better and still, after 3 years, I have never been sick again. The test were
positive for what he thought was wrong with me.

Mexicanos do so many things right....
How about the fact you can go to the beach with a cooler of beer, kick back with your friends and not get harassed by the cops.
Walk around with your dogs off leash...
List goes on....

Service
Restaurant service!
Over all..... the Mexicans got their act together on serving their patrons.
They say hello, not a robot hello.
They listen to you order details. I get what I order!
Always asking if you need something, I need not beg 4 help .
Keep the table free of piling up "debris", keeping my elbows clean.
Food is always good....if not...they fix it with a smile.
The meal ticket is NEVER given DURING the meal.
All of the above typical of my experiences with dining in Mexico...but I do manage to find hell holes once in a while.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

They know how to smile!  I have been greeted by more real smiles in a
month in La Paz, than a year in O.C., CA.
Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands upon the wheel!

It was not worth inquiring about. Just an unwarranted attack on Dennis. Totally off the chart in regards to this string.

1. Mexicans have more personal freedom than we do.
2. Mexicans are less materialistic than we are. They are more likely to do something for you without payment than we are.
