A simple search on the Internet will reveal that
gringos are making a fuss about how Mexicans fear 2010, because they consider correlation inherently implies causation. Or, in other words, no more tacos this year, because in 1810 Spaniards tried to steal the recipe (they still have
wet dreams about it), thus causing the Independence War and in 1910 Mexicans fought against each other over
how much cheese they should use for tacos whilst still remaining competitive.
Well, OK, that was over-simplified, but you get the picture. Now, what's really got us worried is that
Most recently, Zapatista guerrillas
in the poor southern state of Chiapas started a revolt on Jan. 1, 1994, the day the North American Trade Agreement (NAFTA) took effect. A big fear now is that Mexico's drug cartels, responsible for almost 15,000 killings in the past decade, are lending their resources and firepower to emerging guerrilla groups.
That sounds bad, doesn't it? Let's read that again, shall we? "
Most recently blah blah blah a revolt on
Jan. 1, 1994". Wow. The most recent tragic event of large proportions was in 1994 and you're still
butthurt about it?
Oh, well... Happy bicentennial, Mexico!
