  • So stuck on the past, You have avoided the future. Most of your hispanic kids are failing schools at an alarming rate. Children are having kids at an alarming rate. And the trouble is, this is not a third world country!

  • Michelle, how old are you? By your writings I estimate you'll be dying soon. Sounds like old folk rhetoric... PS take Barbara Coe with you.

  • All the BS aside, this party/festival is not about Mexico.

    This is a Santa Ana party for locals and neighbors to enjoy.

    If a Latino / Mexican theme party is not your cup of tea, there are other places to go and enjoy yourself.

  • You have it all wrong!

    Same as Santa Claus was invented by Coca Cola for purpose of marketing the Cinco de Mayo was invented by the beer industry to sell beer.

    In USA many holidays are relatively big events compare to the rest of the world because of marketing.

    Fathers day, Mothers day, Valentine's day, Halloween, Thanks giving, Saint Patric, etc. etc. etc. for business only.

  • I bet that you are right Stanly, and by my count at this years festival, business is way down.

  • Cook, I forgot to mention banking industry holidays so people would not run on the bank.
