"But I dispute your contention that it's simply a Hispanic cultural thing."

You know what's sad? Not that you completely misread what I said (I did NOT say the above), but that I don't have time to explain what I meant. I do not mean that in a snide way at all. I am self-employed and so damned holiday-jammed with obligations that MUST be done before Christmas that I should not even be online right now.

Let's leave it at no harm, no foul, okay? And wish one another Merry Christmas. Uh, Feliz Navidad.

Sorry if I misunderstood you but when you said bad culture in your first post I assumed you were referring to Hispanic culture. That was the culture being discussed.

Anyway, Merry Christmas.
