That is very kind of you Perry,
What else can I be, other than the “Ideal American” I was born on the 4th of July!It is so funny because “America” in a mentality or values sense, hates me and if someone like me started moving the masses and was to make inroads toward social and political change their eternal flame would be extinguished.
If I get back to Mexico I will see the murals of “el sapo”.
I witnessed the “cacerolazos” at the “pink house” in Argentina twice while on vacation there.
They were protesting the lack of support for Justice for”the disappeared” and their surviving family members .I think that is still a daily or weekly ritual (not sure). Later there was a big disturbance right before recent economic meltdown. Many “cacerolazos” and much more serious conflicts followed over that for a couple of years. It was probably not safe to be there during that time as the people were very angry with “yankees”. Things, as you probably know, are much more stable there now.
