It Has Been Said; "Unified Mexico, Closed Borders"

I noticed something recently which I have seen coming in several ways for some time. It is something that could probably land me on a few shit lists if it were that anyone ever actually read this, even though it is basic playground stuff.

Politically speaking, the Mexico situation and relationship with the U.S. is essentially a giant shitball for whom so ever uses it to "throw" at the U.S. or even more specific targets there-in... even further in recent developments as has been reported in the news.... Bush plans to "Shut down" the border with Mexico.

Firstly, this is simply a ploy to politicaly move Mexican opinions. It really doesn't matter on a larger scale which "way" that "opinion" is moved, but only that it is in such a way as to create a "larger shitball" in both removing any "variety" of political opinion within the Mexican population as well as inspiring the "Unification" of several different views into one large body through creating an area of larger focus which will negate any of the "smaller" concerns within that diversity.

This is basic politics and all "they" need is a scape goat to pull it off, which they have in Bush immediately. The beauty of this is that it will not continue to be Bush as his spin doctors will address it once it gets moving and removes the strengths of other political movements within that body. Essentially it will act to paralyze in real effect that such diversity has within the Mexican population and concentrate it on an arbitrary point which is then connected to a political goose chase in which will be placed the blame.

The further amusement in this, is that once the "Unified" political body within that diversity has reached the "goal" of becoming victorious within the "new" challenge (which actually will act to pull the momentum from productivity in other issues) and substantially "conquers" the fabricated distraction of the more recent developments, the point will have become moot and they will have lost any of the other actual progress within the diversities.

I would even bet that through Bush's Mexican relations, he will emerge with the larger share of that political body when the smoke clears, even after having implemented the situation in which all will be at the very least set back for that situation as well as other political points of order in regard to Mexico. He will in fact emerge as the "hero" within the situation and in that effectively removing any of the other political influences within the Mexican issues.

This could be a good thing really from other perspectives. While it cheats the system of being a human society through removing the actual process of progress.... being a short cut of sorts.... it does provide for more rapid developments to take hold.... sadly, there is no guarantee that those developments will be a positive outcome beyond having then created a larger shitball which only one interest (or at least fewer) now have the ability to wield.

In my own opinion, I can see where a good old AAA baseball league (if not a few expansion teams to the larger league) could really make the grade in providing an area for many of these things to play out. It would keep the diversity intact to some degree through associating political views and leanings with different areas and teams... much like such happens within the U.S......

Sure, any Mexican will immediate state that soccer is filling that role.... I would respond that it may... but in relation to everything else except the United States for the most part... which, coincidently is the point of contention and one of the longest and more on going relationships with the country of Mexico.... and baseball is simply more conducive to that relationship. We already play soccer in the U.S. at a level for which to compete with Mexico, but it is only one portal so to speak. One place where the two meet in that area of existence. Base ball...especially at the AAA and Professional levels, would make for a better ongoing relationship in many respects.

Baseball would be a more common ground to be able to readily address social ebbs and flows.... if only through the social aspect of a good ol' ball game.

I am not saying that large decisions should rest on the outcome of ball games so much as I see it as a much more efficient area in which to relief the peripheral stresses so as to provide a much more conducive atmosphere for which to address the larger political issues WHILE maintaining the normal diversity of existence and different areas in question within both sides of the issues.

The tension would be more readily disbursed and harmlessly re-focused into the ball games.

Beyond that, I can see where the implementation of such would benefit the game itself in being an area where the love of the game could again flourish in a cyclical manner so to speak. In the U.S. it isn't a secret that base ball has progressed to a level where there is very little if any at all of the reasons it was and has been so loved through the years.... that "sandlot" aspect so to speak.

There wouldn't be loads of money pumped into these teams and I am sure there would be far less access to the "super drugs" which fuel the careers of many American athletes.

I personally wouldn't mind the opportunity of being able to see a good old ball game now and then.... and even further being able to see that "element" again having a place in the larger leagues......that element of playing for the love of the game as much or more than anything else.

Who knows, you might even find that some of these big money ball players actually opting to play on some of these teams simply to get out of the head ache of worrying about all the lights and glitter.

But as for now, it looks like it suits the purpose to simply organize an ever growing shitball... until of course it breaks down again....

The opportunity within such development is hard to even speculate on. Especially in not only maintaining a diversity and variety of choices in life.... but in actually creating and then promoting and progressing with them.

This doesn't mean that either country loses their "individuality" as countries... in fact, it means that they further maintain them and promote them in many ways.... only now would they have a forum in which to interact.

It's base ball..... it isn't a government issue or political arena.... but it is a great place to congregate and communicate. And a rather enjoyable one at that, if I do say.
