    Cultural Dimension?

    What?

    I mean it is RIGHT THERE and don’t tell me a border worn by the current mask that we insist in our monomaniacal focus on nationstates as calling “Mexico” means anything to a much older context and story.

    To ask why a Mexican flag would appear in LA is a child’s question, we don’t have to coddle people who pretend they don’t understand in order to waste our time and breath.
