Reply #40: Nice attempt at spin

But I think I know more about the "spirit" of my original post than you do. Your attempt to "interpret" my "real meaning" was lame. When I tried to explain further, you continued your exercise in reading things that were never there.

I am sorry if the idea of bringing new people (the ones you call the "brown" ones) into our club offends you. But I continue to think that such a union could benefit the populations of both countries, if it was handled in the right way.

Also: please look into the meaning of the word "imperialism." Based on the definition you are using now, every state admitted to the union after the first 13 should be considered to be nothing but vassal states.

I am not sure how sending a big delegation to Congress to represent the new citizens would be "imperialistic" in any way. Assuming each of the current 31 Mexican states had 2 senators -- and proportional representation in the House -- well, I think they'd actually be a very powerful political force.

Again, I suspect the real problem here is your unwillingness deal with Mexicans as true equals.

Go ahead and call me names, if it makes you feel better. I am also sure that, by now, you have altered the moderators to my apostate views. But I think this should be a place where people can consider radical, unconventional ideas. If it isn't then I don't want to be here anyway.
