Lesson wasn't learned

It seems that the municipal government of Cuernavaca hasn't learned it's lesson about listening to the people. And the people hasn't learn to negotiate when it's voice it's heard.

What I find most frustrating is that Mexican society doesn't seem to be able to make it's arguments heard without affecting the rights of others. I mean, they expect to step on the rights of others, and still have them supporting them. And when the affected party denies said support, everyone acts surprised.

It seems that people believe that they don't have to respect anyone's rights, but everyone else have to respect theirs. Of course, if we want to move forward as a community, it doesn't quite work that way.

We need to stop blaming others for what happens, and stop thinking that any change will be bad. Up to this moment, I haven't seen anyone asking for details or analyzing what's been proposed before saying that it can't be done. It seems that no is the default answer to any proposal that comes, it doesn't matter who, or how, the proposal comes along.

Instead of moving to the future, while living in the present, many want to live in the past. For me, that's the best way to die a slow death.
