Debería hacer esto en español, pero dudo que muchos entendieran... So... I received this e-mail, from "The Bureau of Morality". They know that i've been watching subversive material, so they're warning me to stop or i'll pay the consequences.
They put this link on http://www.thepriceoftreason.net, so you can see what could happen if YOU keep trying to help. That's The Price of Treason. In some of the cases listed there, they mention the mexican border and people trying to see their relatives in Mexico... i wonder if it has something to do with my nationality, of course, I'm a mexican(one that lives in Mexico... not a "mexican/american").

== The Grapes of Wrath ==
In the background image you can read a little excerpt from chapter 19 of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath".
"Rattlesnakes! Don’t take chances with ’em, an’ if they argue, shoot first. If a kid’ll kill a cop, what’ll the men do? Thing is, get tougher’n they are. Treat ‘em rough. Scare ‘em."[[http://www.thepriceoftreason.net/images/price_02.jpg]]
This novel shows that those Mexico references are not a coincidence. In this book you can see the Joad family fleeing from Oklahoma to California looking for a better place to live... sounds like immigration to me. You'll see the Joads suffering exhausting labor days, social rejection, infrahuman conditions and miserable wages. And at some point, the book tell us what happened to all that territory that once was part of Mexico... just the half of what used to be our country (México). Anyone remember the "frijoleros", the "beaners", the "brownies", the "wetbacks" or the "border jumpers"? Governator, do you like NIN?. ¡Ja!
