More macho than Mexico????
More Macho than Mexico? I'll let you be the judge. All I can say is that visiting there (once again) made me realize how fortunate I am to have America as my home. When we had our original wave of immigration(s) the hard working stayed and the lazy went back. Let me know your impression of Brazil. I love the Portuguese, but the Brazilians are of another feather.
