I, too, could write volumes on my heart and gut reactions to the information you have presented. I feel a mix of sadness, Mexico - its leaders and citizens - are not living up to such ideals as posed by La Constitución and hopefulness there is a roadmap to walk into a better future for humankind. As a person with dual citizenship - Mexican and North-American, I will proceed to take the day off.

Thanks Mike, super informative and now I know a lot more about the people for whom many streets in Mexico are named!

Glad you included a recent link to this! Very good to read up on the Constitution. It is a beautiful document. I have seen where the implementation can be lacking. I work with a couple kids supported by DIF. To follow the law regarding the right to food, they gave us a year's supply of fresh vegetables!... All at once, with no possibility of them staying fresh.

Hopefully, as education improves and Mexicans understand their rights, they'll be able to make improvements to the daily life of the commonfolk.

Hey Mike,

I just came from Discord and wanted to say this was a great article, Coming from Canada, it's interesting to see citizens in another country have so much pride over a document such as the constitution. While we are thankful for our constitution ,The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, we never have a day off for it. To codify things such as Labour rights is what caught my eye. Enjoy the day off!

Thanks Mike, a great article. I read (maybe on your About page) that you have dual citizenship. I don't know which came first, but you are obviously up to speed on things Mexico!

Feliz Dia a little bit late!
