A few facts that get lost in the current "Mexico is at war, corrupt and hopeless" mass media frenzy:

- Our economy grew faster than Brazil last year
- Our economy is more open (by far) than that of Brazil
- Our industry is much more competitive than Brazil's worldwide

I like Brazil & brazilians, but I hate how Mexico is kept our of all the "BRIC" economic discussions when we deserve a place in that group, at least vis-a-vis Brazil (and Russia).
