Question: Why is Mexico so messed up?
I put this question into the simplest possible terms. Perhaps, too simple. Offensive even, at least from an American standpoint. So, allow me to explain the context of my inquiry and what I hope to achieve (and learn).
Mexico should be far more prosperous than it is:

What a great quote:
“My tough times would be a dream for anyone else.”
I heard this today from Geno Smith, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Indeed, Smith has been through some “tough times” as a professional athlete. He’s struggled in a career of ups and downs, but has played far better than anyone expected this season. Smith was recently asked about the “tough times” during his career. His answer was beautiful.
We are reminded that our lives are often a matter of perspective. Many of the problems we face would be a dream scenario for other people.
Something to think about and remember.

A VERY ENCOURAGING TREND
Christianity’s Retreat from England
For the first time in almost 1500 years, England is no longer majority Christian. Results of the 2021 census show the rapidity and geography of the retreat. What’s replacing Christianity? Not another religion, but “no religion.”

This week’s “Best Seat in the House” star is Michael Minkoff, from Las Vegas. What a view! Minkoff works the Las Vegas Raiders games. Oh, and he gets paid to sit in the ultimate man cave. The downside — he’s stuck watching the Raiders.
But in all fairness, Minkoff enjoyed a thrilling last two weeks, both games won on the final play of the game by Las Vegas. Afterward, I asked Minkoff if the production people in the control room and studio cheer and get excited when the Raiders pull off a big win. He said, yes. Now, that’s a helluva’ workday — watching football, getting paid, and enjoying a thrilling victory.
