I wouldn't worry too much about Fox closing down the "hooker" bars (or prostitution). The open existence and "style of presentation" of prostitution in Mexico has more to do with the culture (Latin) rather than government sanction...France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Russia...none of these countries have gotten rid of prostitution (nor has the USA - we just lie about it...just like we lie about our "free, uncorrupted " elections). Fox might spread the wealth through reform (which means the price of all things Mexican would approach parity with the US, ideally...), but he'll be dragging 70 years of PRI dominance around with him...Look how much trouble we have trying to get the "plutocratic patricians" out of control in this country...It's the same world-wide. Chomsky said it best, "Power protects itself. Is that surprising?" But get rid of pussy? No way! Most cultures view sex as a form of entertainment rather than an evil disease that needs to be eradicated... KRICO |
