perfectly legitimate counter-offer as far as I'm concerned!
In the 31 years since Franco died, and a few less since the Guardia Civil stopped wearing the forest green uniform with the 3-pointed patent leather hat, Spain has been in a headlong race downhill. Since Zapatero assumed power in '04, the race has become a stampede!
It's very, very sad for me to witness the crumbling of a once-proud religious country. Spain is willing to betray their history and sell their future, all for a pack of liberal promises that will one day soon collapse under the weight of economic reality.
