It is undemocratic and corrupt. The freedoms which we take for granted in the USA are often missing in Mexico. Mexico, as a country, has the natural resources that the USA has. It also has a group of people who are intelligent, inventive, resourceful, and family-oriented. These positives could result in Mexico becoming a world power in trade, science, etc., but its progress is, IMO, being obstructed by the corruption in its government and the wealthy class. Thee is some progress in Mexico to turn what has been a single-party political system into true democracy. There are finally viable opposition parties to the established PRI (the rulers for many years). It will take some time, but Mexico has, in my view, a bright future. As to the pollution and population problems, I agree that it is bad in Mexico. I was in Beijing, China, last Fall, and it was even worse there. Many "developing countries" have this problem, and there is no easy solution. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
