I Need, Therefore I Imagine.

I Am A Mexican. The United States Lived Seventy-five Years With The One Party System In Mexico - The Pri - Without Batting An Eyelid, Never Demanding Democracy Of Mexico. Democracy Came Because Mexicans Fought For Democracy And Made A Democracy Out Of Our History, Our Possibilities, Our Perspectives. Democracy Is Not Something That Can Be Exported Like Coca-cola. It Has To Be Bred From The Inside, According To The Culture, The Conditions Of Each Country.

For Me, Life Without Literature Is Inconceivable. I Think That Don Quixote In A Physical Sense Never Existed, But Don Quixote Exists More Than Anybody Who Existed In 1605. Much More. There's Nobody Who Can Compete With Don Quixote Or With Hamlet. So In The End We Have The Reality Of The Book As The Reality Of The World And The Reality Of History.

When We Have A Better, More Social, More Responsible, Less Egotistical, Less Corrupt System, Mexico Will Be Able To Give Work To The Millions Of Mexicans Who Have To Build Our Roads, Dams, Schools, All The Things That Are Left Undone In Mexico While We Have The Manpower. There Is Something Very Bad Going On, On Both Sides Of The Border In Mexico And The Us. But The Worker Is A Worker, Not A Criminal. So, I Am In Favor Of A Solution Such As The Kennedy-mccain Proposals That Make It Clear What Steps Have To Be Taken To Accept The Fact That The Us Needs Foreign Workers.

What's Happened At The Abu Ghraib Prison In Iraq Is One Of The Grossest Violations Of Human Rights Under The Geneva Conventions That We Have Record Of. It Is Simply Monstrous.

I Am A Literary Animal. For Me, Everything Ends In Literature.
