Default Alameda Swap Meet (Welcome Back Booger)

> I completely disagree with you about slumming around the taco stands.

Well, we will have to agree to disagree.

You have graphically described your debauched antics in bars and your
bout
with diarrhea in a boat, after drinking straight chile sauce to prove
how "macho" you were.

You think that Mexican food is about eating a lot of offal tacos and
guzzling a
lot of Mexican beer and making yourself sick, and I disagree with that
approach.

Here in California's central valley, Whites are outnumbered two to one
by
illegal aliens and I only visit upscale sit down Mexican restaurants.

The county board of supervisors is cracking down on the taco trucks
who park in
front of licensed restaurants, they have enacted an ordinance that
makes them move every half hour.

Taco trucks are supposed to provide a mobile food service to
industrial areas, not to
set up an unregulated business along the highway.

No, drive by shootings kill some *other* Mexican's relatives. If you
could read our
local Spanish language newspaper, it is just filled with stories of
gang violence and
tragic accidents due to drunk driving.

I was recently reading an article about a Mexican beauty queen who
worked as a waitress at Denny's. Her macho Mexican boyfriend couldn't
dominate and possess her totally, so he killed her and went back to
his apartment and committed suicide.

Members of the beautiful girl's family and friends expressed disbelief
about how this
tragedy could possibly happen. They don't want to admit that their
culture is a violent
culture.

Mexicans call their debauched lifestyle "Mi Vida Loca" (My Crazy Life)
and accept that they are just "naturally" going to do many evil things
as they grow up.

If you go to the county offices here, the welfare office is next to
the probation office and the probation office is next to the
unemployment office. The first two offices are filled with Mexicans
who are on parole or probation or are looking for welfare.

Hardly anybody goes to the unemployment office, even though the
unemployed in this county are 16% of the work force. The Mexicans are
finding alternative ways to make a living. Like stealing cars. This
valley was listed as the fifth most likely place in the USA to have
your car stolen.

Recently, there was a county convention on what to do about the drug
and gang problem.

We have about 60,000 Mexicans locked up in our state prisons here in
the cental valley.

Earlier this month, five local Mexicans kidnapped a Mexican woman and
held her for
ransom. They wanted $60K, but the Mexican family couldn't raise that
kind of money.

They were afraid to contact the police, but they did that anyway and
they dropped part of the ransom off and it was traced back to the
kidnappers.

All five of the kidnappers are under 21 years old, but they have
already learned to
do a traditional Mexican family business, i.e., kidnapping.

Back around 1900, the Italian immigrants were the ones doing
kidnappings to make money. That's what upset the American public so
badly the Immigration Act of 1924 set quotas on immigration to keep
the relative numbers of immigrants low so they would have time to
learn how to be Americans and assimilate.

But, in 1965, the floodgates of immigration were opened, allowing
undesireables from non-European countries to come here. And the
problems with communism and political instability in Mexico and
central America have resulted in millions of economic refugees coming
here and bringing all their crime and violence with them.

You wouldn't admit being disappointed if you found a dead mouse in
your burrito.

But, you'd probably be too drunk to remember it afterwards.

> Anthony Bourdain is a very entertaining and a knowledgeable
> chef bringing these culinary gems to the masses.


Bourdain is a radical liberal bisexual asshole with a political agenda
which shouldn't even be allowed into his episodes. The whole idea of
enjoying foreign cuisine is to try something new and delightful, not
to go down to the barrio and hang around with gang bangers and drug
peddlers and prostitutes.

If I wanted to go to a Mexican swap meet, there is one every Saturday
at the local community college. It's crawling with Mexicans, but you
won't see any Americans there.

The authorities recently raided the swap meet and seized $250K worth
of pirated DVD's that Mexicans were peddling there.
