Wagner, thank you for correcting my spelling of "maquiladora"... it is good to be relaxed with one's friends and able to take criticism, and so be able to learn. In that spirit, when I reflect on who I want to be "hating on" or not, your comment to Gmarascort seems hasty, even in this emotionally charged thread. So I wondered about these sheeple and the withdrawal of educational and cultural supports, and diminishing share in the wealth, which might contribute to the condition you describe. If they don't hear live music, and cannot afford good music boxes, then who is to blame? Income inequality and denialism about the future are more trickle down than up from the sheeple. If someone equates MBA technique (expressed against our cultural American hero engineers) and "Corporate America" perhaps they might not be stupid. I suggest deeper listening, as well as careful spelling.
