Re: Speedy loved in Mexico. So true. Do-gooders love to create situations where they can manipulate you with guilt.

There is a local church going on a summer misson trip to help build houses in Mexico. The group that oversees the projects has a rules manual that states "no shorts or tank tops. The mexican people are offended by these"...When you look at the website pictures of the misson teams building the houses everyone is wearing long pants and tee shirts, except the Mexicans whom are wearing shorts and tank tops.

Maybe it's the photographer that came up with that rule. Most of these kind of do-gooders are pale and kind of chunky, no reason to show more of their flesh than absolutely necessary.

Very true. Its amazing how "Americanized" Mexican style and culture have become, although (c)rap music has yet to catch on in a big way there or anywhere else in Latin America for that matter.

They used to also tell Americans not to wear shorts in Europe. If shorts are so un-European, what is it with the Germans and Scandanavians with the pasty legs disturbing the children in Florida and the Mediterrenean.
