September 18, 2010 12:00 AMMexico celebrated the bicentennial of its
independence Thursday, and it's remarkable how much of that experience
it has shared with the United States.

Our success as "the first new nation" helped inspire that first grito
in 1810 and the costly struggle of Mexican patriots to free themselves
from Spanish tyranny. And though the new state started with a
monarchy, the appeal of U.S.-like republican and federal institutions
soon became a central part of a long, debilitating conflict for
control of the government.

Mexico was so fond of people freeing themselves that when the people
in Texas, that Mexico had given land grants to and had invited there,
decided they wanted to be free of Mexican rule, Mexico siad OK, you've
got your own country. Oh wait, that's not what happened. Remember the
Alamo.

Who fucking care about Mexico independence?

Jose, all your Mexican/Hispanic/Latino/Chicano/Mestizo are left with
these things:
1) Overpopulation
2) High Crime
3) Drug Trafficking
4) Obesity
5) Poverty
6) Racism, Racial Segregation
7) Illegal immigration
8) Anchor Babes
