I share your cultural observations. I returned late last night from Mexico, the latest of probably 10 vacations there. "They ARE polite, interested, eager to learn and collaborate."
I also agree with your Rick Observation. It's a prejudice that's apparent on his part. And as to your comment: "Not that I'm at all in love with the "Oh it's so bllllliiiiissssfffuuulllll!!!!!" posts we get here.", I too am a realist. More practical than blissed-out. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Tom Pall <thomas.pall@...> wrote: > > On Wed, Jul 13, 2011 at 11:13 AM, danfriedman2002 <danfriedman2002@... > > wrote: > > > > > Tom, > > > > It was a letter from a psychologist, FFL non-Member, defaming Indian > > teachers for luring women with their control.
