ROFLMAO...

Aaaaahhh I have not heard so many of those expressions in a long, long time, La Poeta is right, it seems you did not drink enough to impair your writing, or else, your writing can withstand any kind of drinking [or else, --again-- your drinking is what gives your writing mastery -ggg-]

We should clarify for the Anglo audience that Cinco de Mayo is yet again another way for the Mexican government to give the populace, "atole con el dedo". Some Anglos even think it is the date of the independence, (courtesy of cerveza Corona's advertising, or rather the anglo interpretation of the same, "bajo la influencia").

It was a day that will live in glory [of the mind of the politicos --gg--] since briefly (and somehow) the Mexican Army managed to defeat the proud Napoleonic army. But if memory serves me right, in the ensuing days, the French beat the crap of the federales and installed in power, their puppet emperor Maximiliano and the his wife Carlota. Imagine how things were that she became totally crazy.

A fairy tale...

Cinco de Mayo, se gano la batalla, pero no la guerra...


And out of this it set the stage for "Bomberito" Juarez -GGG- to come back and re-gain power. Ah yes, the glory days of El Gobierno Laico, who took from the Catholic church the ill gotten wealth and power in and of Mexico...

A little closer to the truth... Remembering that... La historia la escribe quien gana la guerra.

An even a better one.... "Los valientes no asesinan"

Thus began the bloody, fratricidal Reform War of 1858-61, pitting liberals against conservatives and so named because of the Reform Laws that had curbed the power of the Church. The Liberals almost lost their leader two months after the conflict began. In March Zuloaga's forces entered Guadalajara and captured Juárez near the Palace of Justice. He was saved from a firing squad only through intervention of the poet Guillermo Prieto, who courageously thrust himself in front of Juárez, crying: "Brave men do not assassinate." The soldiers lowered their rifles and Juárez was able to escape to Manzanillo, where he re-kindled resistance.

Only to see El Raton Loco Salinas de Gortari give the wealth and power back to the Vatican Evil... El pendulo del poder swings back and forth... between poor and rich, between right and left... between good and evil.

Then Salinas's fortunes took a dramatic turn for the better. As the Berlin Wall tumbled and former socialist countries now decided that capitalism was the wave of the future, Salinas made a bold move: he effectively canceled the Mexican Revolution.

His rejection of revolutionary principles, known by press pundits as salinastroika, took place in several areas -- political, economic, even religious. Where anticlericalism had long been a leading principle of the Mexican Revolution, Salinas completely reversed course. Nuns and priests could once more appear publicly in clerical garb, they could vote, the Church could own property, diplomatic relations were re-established with the Vatican, and religious schools were once more authorized.

El cabron raton, borracho en poder, le aplico una inyeccion intrapiernosa a la historia -gggg- in otherwords... he fornicated history itself, no less -ggg-...

and it gets better... (They even talk about your namesake, comandante Marcos --yes, I know it is not you, you told me so... Mi mama me dijo no creas todo lo que te digan... -ggg-)


Salinas's prestige had never been higher. He was only forty-four and a brilliant future was predicted for him -- in the international arena. Having achieved an economic miracle in Mexico, who would be better suited to become president of the World Trade Organization?

On the opening day of 1994 everything fell apart. Santayana wrote that those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. When Echeverria's term ended, everybody hailed López Portillo as a savior. With the end of the disastrous Echeverria-López Portillo-de la Madrid cycle, it looked for a while like Salinas would be the new Moses. History was about to teach the Mexican people another harsh lesson.

It began on January 1, 1994, with an Indian revolt in Chiapas. With Salinas's version of agrarian "reform," with the implementation of NAFTA, the campesinos in Chiapas had reached a nadir of despair. No longer protected by the ejido system, their lands were being taken over by creditors and landlords. And how could they possibly compete with their new international "partners," the farmers of America's prosperous Middle West? So they sold whatever they had, bought guns, and took to the hills. Their leader, who called himself Subcomandante Marcos, was a white, upper-middle-class furniture magnate's son from Tampico who had absorbed French-style Marxism at UNAM and served with the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. ------> click here to get there---> http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/zapat1.html


An interesting tale eh ? La historia esta entrelazada con los diferentes pueblos, mas de los que nos cuentan cuando estamos en la escuela no ?

Greed and fear they say, rules Wall Street...

More accurately, human nature with all its evil, greed, hunger for power and fear of losing it is what really drives man to execute the incredible feats that history shows us...

The more things change, the more things remain the same, in spite of the lessons history give us.

As Poet said, feliz seis de Mayo...

what happens the day after? - pues, we figger it out when we wake up tarde en la tarde, jijiji ... cuídate bien, chaparro ... cháu


LOL !!!
