America is a secular state too - but it's kinda hard to tell if you listen to our politicians.<BR/><BR/>In the (extremely brief) research that I put into Cinco de Mayo for this post, I ran across the Virgin twice in the four descriptions of Cinco de Mayo that I looked at - one of those was Wikipedia. <BR/><BR/>So I completely blame my poor sample size for bringing this up. Perhaps it is only in America that you get politicians that thank God for the 4th of July.Calladushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620879847877868166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736821.post-72813145702694443862007-05-07T12:08:00.000-07:002007-05-07T12:08:00.000-07:00Thank you very much, sir.Actually, here in Mexico ...Thank you very much, sir.<BR/><BR/>Actually, here in Mexico the Cinco de Mayo is only celebrated in elementary schools. Most factories, commerces and offices have activity like every other day. And, as Mexico is a secular state, and so is its educational system, nobody thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for the victory in Puebla. Not even the most conservative, history-twisting, Catholic private schools.Perequehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00252765653624813447noreply@blogger.com
