[brazzaville]

Good morning.
"Do you know the source of the word Reconquista?"

I first heard the word in the early '70s from La Raza activists on a community college campus in California. They were there as part of a hate-America-antiwar-Marxist demonstration. I went to the event because it was a good place to pick up naive hippie girls and because I believe in knowing the enemy.

"The Mexican economy is floundering and the best source of funds is the remittances from the USA. The American economy is absorbing the migrants and is apparently better off for their being here. Were that not so, the market would take care for the problem."

The Mexican economy hasn't done anything but flounder since Cortez arrived. It will always flounder because a small group of elites control every peso.

I would disagree that the American economy is better off because of the illegals and it is not absorbing the migrants because they are not choosing to assimilate. The free market can't fix that problem.

...It will always flounder because a small group of elites control every peso.....

Which brings us to Venezuela and Mr Chavez. He is attacking these very elites that I think of as the Aristos and who were depicted in Zorro as the Alcalde and his group. There is loud clamoring here on FRee Republic about his communist ways. It may be he has communist tendencies but he is going after the source of the people's problem, the Aristos who "control every Peso".

I expect Senor Fox of Mexico is one of the controllers.

What Mexico needs then is what california had.....Zorro.

Oh yes..... almost forgot to ask about knowledge of hippie girls in the Biblical sense but I suppose that is really not something to be discussed in polite FReeper society.
