Saluting Mexico
I was unimpressed by AMLO at first. His campaign rhetoric was standard boilerplate, and his speeches seemed hopeless.
I was MISSING THE POINT. Since taking office, AMLO has been a dynamo of positive action. He has started fixing and expanding all the PATIENT THINGS that are necessary for a nation to make progress. Railroads, oil refineries, hydro dams, traditional culture. He's replicating FDR.
Here's a brutal comparison:
In 20 days AMLO has done more for Mexico than US governments have done for US in 40 YEARS.
And that's an understatement. Since 1975 US has been actively and ferociously RIPPING APART our own infrastructure, economy, culture, and people.
So it's time for Polistra and friends to salute Mexico!
Graphic sidenote 1: It's also time to move the salute into Polistra's new home.
Graphic sidenote 2: The snow in this new scene came out nicely, but it doesn't match current local conditions. We're having a real El Nino winter. Late December, and only about 5 scattered inches of snow, none of which hung around. Plenty of rain. I've only shoveled once, and haven't even thought about the roof rake. NOTE TO WEATHER GODS: I'M NOT COMPLAINING!
