That was a Great post, and as a person with a dual history/ Political Science degree I found it interesting.

I mean how many of you Gents would go down there for the "cheap" leather goods, I know I would not fly down once every month to Laredo to buy a chess set, or chicklets. or for the scenery. Just a thought. |
