An interesting e-mail:
Live in the country you support
Try Doing This...
Try driving around as a Gringo in Mexico with no liability insurance and have an accident...
Enter MEXICO illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas,international law, or any of that nonsense...
Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family...
Demand bilingual nurses and doctors...
Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc...
Procreate abundantly. Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural United States thing. You would not understand, pal."...
Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper...
Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise...
Insist that all products' labels, owner's manuals, instructions, etc., be written in English as well as Spanish...
Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system...
Demand a local Mexican drivers license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal presence in Mexico...
Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.
Good luck! Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world... except right here in the United States... Land of the naive.
If you agree, pass it on. If you don't, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or Iran, or just about any other country in the world, for that matter.
Words of Wisdom: "Support the country you live in...or live in the country you support"

I take no responsibility or credit for authoring the above statement. I just thought it was interesting enough to post here and offer up for discussion.

Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 03/13/06 6:32 pm: Steve ;Do the Irish celebrate St. Patty's day as hard as Irish-Americans do in New York ? I doubt if Cinco de Mayo is a big deal in Mexico even though it could be argued that the May 5,1862 victory by Mexico over the French at the Battle of Puebla was just as important to America as it was to the Mexicans .But any occasion to drink Dos Equis or Corona is ok with me.
Clarification/Follow-up by JBodine on 03/14/06 2:51 pm: Elliot:
That makes sense.
I put that out because that's what someone brought up to me the other day when I was talking about it.
I also learned that it's best not to bring stuff like this up in the office where you work when out of a staff of 18, you're one of 3 NON-hispanics.... Clarification/Follow-up by ETWolverine on 03/14/06 3:08 pm: There are 2 topics that one should never bring up at the office: politics and religion. You're bound to piss off SOMEONE no matter how right or how PC you are about it.
