WOW! Democracy is blooming in Mexico. I
was so happy that I decided to buy my local newspaper yesterday, Fourth
of July, to read the good news. Here is what I found:
Mexico City – Thousands of people
rushed to stores Tuesday to redeem pre-paid gift cards they said were
given to them previously by the party that won Mexico's
presidency, inflaming accusations that the week-end
election was marred by widespread vote-buying. At least a few
cardholders were angry, complaining that they didn't get as much as
promised or that their cards weren't working.
***
JG: LOL! “Gimme, gimme,
something free.” Unconfirmed reports claim that both Obama and
Romney have contacted Visa and Mastercard with inquiries about
discounts on a million gift cards.
Have no fear, democracy is blooming
everywhere, cleverly marketed. Marx who?
