Enjoying the dialogue, as usual. Re: the political discussions, I thought it interesting to point out that the Dominicans in NYC - I live in the border of a 90% Dominican neighborhood - seem to be the most pro USA of all New Yorkers. More American flags displayed here than anywhere else in the city, and candles and messages displayed wherever you turn.
I'm just studying beginning spanish now (at age 57) so I only read the positing on DR1 by the gringos or the elite, I assume. You're certainly a lively bunch! The Dominicans here - with the exception of the 100s of grim and threatening drug dealers that dominate almost every corner of Broadway, Amsterdam Ave. and many side streets - are teriffic, friendly people (and the women are gorgeous!!). I can't wait to get to the DR. - DW
ps - I'm not much of a flag waver. Just an observer. I also believe in better living through chemistry, within reason. I know first hand how insidious, dangerous and destructive that can be.
