Sooo you're saying it's o-k if people wait and wait for someone to show up - it's a cultural thing. I guess I'm weird because I consider it rude to keep people waiting.

Got it!

which culture does the entire world flock to emulate? which culture is the weathiest? the most innovative? Which culture is the focus of jealous hatred by the "can't do's" of the world? Which culture expanded the arts, and allowed cultures that were unknown to attain world recognition? Which culture has singlehandedly kept at least three other cultures from being wiped out or lost to history? Which culture is the *only* culture that helps spread other cultures?

That's right. the guys with the clocks. Timepieces that allowed mapping and precision navigation. That allowed great meetings and great gatherings. Logistic timings that protected worldwide freedom from the Nazi's. Clockwork that enabled the coordination of the exploration of the space beyond Earth and the space between molecules.

Otherwise, Central America, with it's greater benefit in natural resources, and tamer climates, and their earlier colonization, should have been the superpowers of the Western Hemisphere. Instead, upstart colonies started half a century or more later, after numerous failed attempts, somehow became the dominant world culture who has to absorb the discontented millions of these "non punctual" cultures so they aren't torn apart by yet another civil war and install another banana-republic dictator.

All things being equal, or in this case, vastly favoring colonization of South and Central America, why do none of these cultures matter greatly in the world stage (in ways that benefit humankind) except when aided by Western technological innovation? Where was Mexico in WWI or WWII? What about helping after great natural disasters across the world? Is there a Mexican flag on the Moon or Mars? What's the difference, since America wasn't around to "hold them back" (as many liberals want to assert) in the beginning? It wasn't for lack of trying, as Sam Houston and others demonstrated.

I posit the following: the difference is culture. Even with an environmental and financial handicap (Aztec and Mayan gold was worth a lot more than American tobacco and easier obtained) and the same treatment of the indigenous (Does everyone forget the Conquistadores slaughtered the locals with more violence than even Custer's boys dreamt of?) as well as getting a later start, European (later Western) culture proved to have the ability to create a superior nation, and spawned even a different culture, the American one.

Now recently the American culture is admittedly damaged, and may yet be the death of the America we know and love. But, eventually, a culture very similar to the one that founded this nation and propelled it through the first half of this century, will rise up despite world handicaps and dominate again. Timepieces, strange emphasis on personal responsibility, and faith in an overseeing Deity and it's emphasis on both strength and forgiveness will be among that culture's trademarks. You'll see.:)

to call an illegal immigrant an "undocumented alien" is the same as calling a streetcorner drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".
