Somewhere in Mexico, people complain about policemen mediocrity when they have bribed them at least once
Somewhere in Mexico people fight to outlaw cock and bullfighting, but, oh, surprise! no one remembers the 43 missing students
Somewhere in Mexico people remember world cup ’70, but no one knows about ‘68
Somewhere in Mexico people are concerned about narco traffic, but they love Corridos.
Somewhere in Mexico people hate the government, but they would sell their vote for 500 pesos. Somewhere in Mexico a kid knows every soccer player from every team, but you ask him about national heroes, he knows nothing.
