I am one of the most happiest, most optimistic people on this planet until the subject of government is placed in front of me. That’s when my 50 years experience with public employees, bureaucrats and politicians leaps forth.
Only the deaf and blind actually expect politicians to do the “right” thing. Everyone else only hopes they will. I am past that stage and now it is considered being a realist.
>>Eight months after the murder, Canino finally told Mexican Attorney General Maricela Morales about the link. “Hijole” (oh my), she said.<<
This is what we will make an effort to correct. Next time it will only require six months to notify the Mexican Attorney General. That will be a 25% improvement which will be considered “ a substantial correction” by any and all government employees.
That sounds like an American Truth and I certainly wasn't trying to change your mind regarding politicians in general.
Nor am I looking for any politician to "do" any right thing. Feeling much along the same lines as you about politicians in general, I am looking for Fast & Furious hearings to force politicians to do things most expedient to them and favourable to US.
Praying it works out that way leaves me feeling optimistically cynical. And reading Mexican reaction to what can only be interpreted as betrayal to them makes me think this is a long way from over and far from a business as usual settlement.
