Website title:

...in this town they`re celebrating their patron saint. There are parades and processions, dead idols carried through town...marching bands, blaring horns, dances at night and loud rockets exploding in the sir in the wee hours...this goes on for a week...

...one parade I saw said it all..the lead group was a troupe of children dancing and dressed in Native costumes. There was a recording being played of a child singing some paen to the Jew god...and loud rockets, very like canon, were going off above them.

Anyone who knows Latin American history knows the Natives were murdered and their children taken to be raised Christians..that not a one of them fell over freely at the sound of Christ`s "message". It`s fitting that the church would use them in it`s parades...put the children, the CHILDREN, right in front...and have them dance in their native dress their native steps...sort of rub it in their faces at the same time they co-opt the native culture...and present it all as a fairy tale.,..but there are Mexicans who aren`t fooled.

And the rockets..the canons rather, are a good reminder to those who think, of the very same canons that were used to stun and then kill the parents of these children.

Symbols mean everything.
