See, the United States cant do anything without the support of Mexico. The United States cant afford Mexico to Ally it self with any other country. you think Mexico's oil goes un-noticed? this country allows the celebration of Cinco de Mayo just to keep Mexico happy. what if something happens and Mexico is to look in other Avenues? Already the afghans and iraqui al-qaeda's are having fun with us! toying with U.S.A. i think you just pissed off some mexican and that person either kicked your ass or put something in your food or your kids just aren't smart enough to get an education and mexicans around you are just having a ball working those dead end jobs that yur kids dont wantto work in and are just fussing bout that! live and let live, one day God forbid, you will need a helping hand and it just might be a Mexican. i am proud to be a descendant and i love to have been born on that day. ALL my white friends enjoy it and the communion between us is remarkably healthy. LOL! now imagine if i, a Mexican descendant becomes the next President? I will give Mexico back what is rightfully theirs. just kidding! but you never know! om an american/mexican descent. and iam glad that this nation celebrates “Cinco de Mayo”. in history books theres an involvement of the united states had american citizens sent to mexico and to fight along side Mexico. ifirmly believe that that was the stradegy of the u.s. president to get its hands on Mexiucan oil. thanks to Mexican President Cardenas, he was able to have the coaboration of the Mexican people and collect the debt that was owed to the United States, and liberate themselves from becoming part of the United States of America, witholding the title, The United States of Mexico of America.

May 5 is my cat's birthday. So I'll be celebrating that "holiday" instead of Cinco de Mayo. Preferring baked scrod, she doesn't much care for Mexican food. Seriously now... As a Spanish major (degree in 1972), I used to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, which was a sort of exoticism. Well, it's not exotic for me any more. I have to speak Spanish on lots of occasions--at the quick mart, at the sites of car accidents (not always mine), with any number of service personnel. I'm not a xenophobe. Far from it! But I like my American culture and holidays, first and foremost. My comment in a lighter vein…
