Mexico anticipates revolution...AGAIN

-
As Mexico moves into the new year so, too, does its traditions and one particularly eerie tradition has it that it's time for revolution, baby.


In 1999 we were anxious to party like Prince told us to. But in Mexico they have anxieties to coup like it's 1910...or 1810; either one would fulfill their superstitions. A decade's long overthrow ensued two centuries ago and it was followed by another decade's long regime tussle exactly one century later. Both were ruthless and bloody. President Calderon vows the curse has had its day. However, with drug war violence running at an all time high and inbred superstition running higher still, it is comprehensible why the actualization of this self-fulfilled prophecy has the natives restless. For years I've heard 2010 spoken of glowingly. As if it represented the Second Coming of Christ. Hang the public denials: This.is.wanted. In Mexico it ain't worthwhile change unless it is loud, senseless, and bloody.


Viva revolucion, cabron!
