And I am never certain what his real opinions may be.<br /><br />Tancho -- There are a number of things in contemporary life I think we could do without. Instead, we endure. But being in Mexico is a lot like living in Powers in the 1950s. That may be why I like it so much.<br /><br />Chrissy -- I have not noticed many multiplew births around my small fishing village. But I have noticed that families are far smaller than I remember in earler decades.<br /><br />William -- The numbers are from a 22 April <i>Economist</i> article. I was not surprised at the results. The families in our church who have recently moved from Mexico are consistent with the article: one or two children is the norm for them.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-4746182122522013192010-06-10T13:58:24.090-05:002010-06-10T13:58:24.090-05:00Read the recent piece declaring Mx a middle class ...Read the recent piece declaring Mx a middle class nation, and don't disagree many have assumed that to be their condition though it doesn't make it reality. Birth rates, thankfully have began to drop too, but what's the basis for the unrealistic numbers you wrote about?<br /><br />WilliamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-50823120604419258792010-06-10T10:19:22.039-05:002010-06-10T10:19:22.039-05:00I agree Steven, this issue really has both sides a...I agree Steven, this issue really has both sides acting and speaking foolishly.<br />Just an observation and wondering if anyone else has noticed the increase of multible births in Mexico? For the past 10 years I have noticed more young couples with twins and triplets in Mexico. I see them here in the USA as well, but generally the parents here appear to be older so I suspect fertility drugs. But the Mexican parents seem to be in their 20's. I am just wondering if fertility drugs are accessable to everyone and if it is a status symbol there to have twins? I know that children are adored in Mexico for the most part and we certainly received lots of attention when we travelled with 4 kids at a time. Your thoughts?Chrissy y Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401701589592600309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-64912343023165530552010-06-10T10:02:00.506-05:002010-06-10T10:02:00.506-05:00Too bad we can't go back to before talk radio,...Too bad we can't go back to before talk radio, to the time when we could ride in the back of a pick up truck and not go to jail, 5 cent Cokes and less rumblings in the world. (I don't remember the newspaper getting people riled up)<br />Or maybe there were the same rumblings but we just didn't hear about it.<br />Anyone in public office needs to purchase a copy of Simcity and be proficient at it before doing anything. I am somewhat relieved that I will not see and experience the "New World" of how it will be in 50 or 100 years. I wonder if people, not just Mexicans, Americans, Italians etc are grasping the evolvement of their societies and who really will be in the population drivers seat then?Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-31718071588055679312010-06-10T09:32:47.800-05:002010-06-10T09:32:47.800-05:00Precarious situation that xenophobia, or want ther...Precarious situation that xenophobia, or want there of. <br />Just the fodder for a, "progressive populist"<br />Then again, I believe that same, "progressive populist" once (or twice)had a half hour discussion on the pronunciation of the word Nuclear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
