...A monopolist thief buys out the incompetent blunderers. Tweedle dee buys tweedle stupid. If Mr. Slim has even a modicum of business acumen, he'll be better at it than the Sudzboogers.

Well, Mexican politics and democrat politics do have a lot in common. Corruption, bribery, one party rule, oppressing the poor for political reasons. Might be a good match.
Better the thief you know is a thief, than the thief pretending to be honest.
Actually there is great potential here for cooperation and trade with our neighbor to the south.
We could outsource the corruption from our big cities like Detroit, Baltimore and Chicago. While the mayors of these various strongholds of democratic control serve their time in prison, the corruption function could be assumed by Mexican politicians at a much better rate and save the taxpayers money.

Can't stay away? Addictive personality? No sweat, that is a common trait in San Francisco.
McC.W., I call the comment of Anon. 1:51 PM a personal attack. I also saw a comment on another thread that mentioned me. I see no place on this blog for that kind of abuse. Comment, rebut, all that is good on topic, but personal attacks are from posters better suited to another forum, IMO.
