The Three Amigos or the Three Stooges?
In my ruminations about the Ottawa summit meeting of Obama, Nieto, and Trudeau, I painted a rather bleak picture of the human rights situation in Mexico. It's actually considerably worse than that.
Got a death wish? Get into journalism in Mexico. I understand they have jobs available! (That's a tip for all you unemployed J-school grads with a bit of Spanish language skills in hand – you don't have to work at Starbucks, you could be practising your craft!) Yup, Mexico needs some dedicated investigative journos to help root out corruption!
Good luck!
Here's another great career choice for the aspiring idealist with a bit of Spanish; become a labour union organizer in Mexico! Not for one of the state controlled official unions, but for the fledgling independent labour movement.
You'll soon find yourself in the same ditch as Mr. Journalist above. Your heads may very well wake up somewhere else.
Yes, there are ample human rights issues in the northerly Amigostans, but Mexico is an entirely different world… so why are Mssrs. Obama and Trudeau sucking up to the leader of a corrupt failed state?
