Entry: Tribe, Class, and Murder Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/tribe_class_and_murder#19582 Post contents: I am a gringo living in Ciudad Juarez, just across from El Paso, TX. Mexicans I know do indeed have too great a tolerance for corruption and little respect for property rights, yet in many ways, thet are more American than us. First, Mexico actually has a functioning multiparty democracy as opposed to the closed system Republicrat duopoly in the Satates. Second, the Peso has been a more stable currency than the U.S. dollar over the past year. Third, one in five Mexican speak English while only one in twenty gringos speak ANY foreign language.
