Nothing to fear??
Another take on elections from Mexico.
Richard Grabman writes a blog, The Mex Files. I find it most interesting and recommend it to all interested in Mexico.
The following is a post from the Mex Files on the US election.
US Election
Today I read a post by a Mexican blogger with an interesting slant on elections.

Another slideshow of Mexico’s not so permanent art forms
The Silence of the Birds
Tenochtitlan rises
From the great lake of life
Shines like a jewel
Shines the natural light

The causeway is lined
With the birds of their world
With their colors so vivid
With their songs so pure
Street Art I
In Mexico there is a great tradition of Institutional Public Art heroic bronzes, massive bas relief works, large scale frescoes and many other “permanent” art forms.
There is also a deep vein of anarchical art, more ephemeral in nature—chalk or flowers on the sidewalks, paper maché, cheap house paint, collage and glue. Most is only one good rain away from oblivion. This art form is expressive and shuns the idea of “precious art.” Often political making social comment or celebrating Mexico’s sense of libertarian personal freedom. This is a peek at the art form, http://thisisthewilderness.com/alfacgiapi/perl.alfa Street Art.
