Re: The Bright Side (Pun Intended) of OXXO
I believe that mounting public protests, demonstrating and carrying signs would do far more harm to the delicate relationship we Norte Americanos have with the local Mexicans than it would to solve the issue. Most of us are "tolerated" here mostly because we bring money, not so much loved and respected. A few, after many years of working "with the locals" have gained respect. Like Cruz pointed out, the majority of Mexicans welcome the convenience of being able to buy their snacks and drinks long after the local stores have closed up. Remember they don't head for bed at 10:00 like us gringos. For them the social time is just beginning at 9 or 10 o'clock. The real issue here is light polution for those who live higher on the hill and at the north side of town and I do sympathize with you. The excessive light is over the top and unnecessary! However, MOST of the Mexicans are really unaffected and unconcerned by the light. Send your letters and talk to the leaders who might listen. The issue can be fixed with the more calm and sensible approach. Please, don't push a wedge between Norte Americanos and Mexicanos. I view a demonstration as an adult temportantrum. They can be offensive if you are on the other side, and in this scenario I fear the local majority is on the other side.
