What do you mean, what's my beef .... i have no beef, i only typed here today in response to somebody else with an apparent beef, he didn't like the sound of spanish and wanted to ban it, to make english-only the 'official' tongue of a nation ruling tens of millions of hispanos .... so i typed some, and enjoyed it thoroughly, like the lady says, where's the beef, lol
... well one tiny beef out of la patrona chiapaneca, it seems, a thing about tardiness with helping her -g- ... cháu
[edit] - almost missed that swipe at having inherited money [or something?] ... i never inherited one dime, personally made every cent i have, got lucky at times but it has not been all easy, no ... and i never went to school, my education is entirely self-inflicted, lots of reading in logging camps for a start
' Just as they were about to sign the treaty...one of the Mexicans, Don Bernardo Couto, remarked to him, "this must be a proud moment for you; no less proud for you than it is humiliating for us." To this Mr. Trist replied "we are making peace, let that be our only thought." But, said he to us in relating it, "Could those Mexicans have seen into my heart at that moment, they would have known that my feeling of shame as an American was far stronger than theirs could be as Mexicans. For though it would not have done for me to say so there, that was a thing for every right minded American to be ashamed of, and I was ashamed of it, most cordially and intensely ashamed of it."
#reply-17940219 ... the links in this post no longer work but i posted above another to the pbs site that does ... Trist was Polk's negotiator for the treaty of GH, and of course he uses wrongly the term 'american' here, but he was a man of honour to some extent, and dead now anyways, so no point in beating up on him i guess eh
