All you've done here is continue to make excuses.
Mexicans? It's always about Mexicans with you and what Mexicans will do that Americans won't. There are quite a few differences in our cultures, but that's a different topic.
(And don't even go there, I know you're getting ready to say I'm being prejudice, but I've been going through two classes where I'm being taught to find out about the differences in cultures to better appreciate diversity and find ways to ease tensions between different cultures, so I don't think that's going to cut it.)
I think the minimum wage is unacceptable, you think it's irrelevant. I think it's more civilized to agree that we disagree and move on.
Our Task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, the whole of nature, and its beauty.
