<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong> I read in your book that Mexico is due for a revolution about every 100 years or so. The last one was in the first part of the Twentieth Century and you said they are about ready for another one. Do you think the drug war presently being fought between the cartels and the Mexican government is actually just a revolution being funded by drug money? Some of the other analysts I work with think it is, and others think it’s not. Since you seem frank about all things Mexican, what do you think?</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong> These days, using the word “nigger” is considered so offensive that, in its place, we now use the term “n-word.” Of course, never mind that African-Americans use it amongst themselves as a term of endearment, <em>pero esa es una historia para otro día. Sin embargo</em>, it raises a <em>pregunta</em> for me: <em>Por qué</em> no one uses “b-word” for “beaner,” “w-word” for “wetback,” and “s-word” for “spick”?</strong></p>
