AR - I know my comment sounded critical of you; it wasn't really intended to be. I just wanted to point out that a lot of jumping up and down was happening over what was basically an opinion without a lot of context.

It wasn't what you said (much of which I agree with at one level or another), but the reaction to it, that prompted my comment. It usually takes more to kick off a duststorm like this one, and I was a bit surprised.

As I think you said somewhere in your post, and Issodhos taught me in a post of his months ago, all Hispanic really means is "of or relating to Spanish language" (and/or culture, depending on the definition you pick.) To expect a Guatemalan to have the same outlook as a Texan of Mexican descent would just be silly.
