So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state. ↗

First, I'm not getting married, so you can forget the wife. Second, if I was insane enough to get married, I wouldn't have kids. Third, if I was insane enough to get married and have kids, it would be a cold day in hell I'd let you babysit. ↗

Yo me dediqué a hacer críticas, muchas veces despiadadas, de la conducta del mexicano - y de la mexicana. El mexicano es el pueblo, pero yo nunca pinté al pueblo como lo pintaban los antiguos caricaturistas, en calidad de eterna e impotente víctima de los poderosos, llamándole 'Juan Pueblo'. Yo incluí al mexicano entre los culpables de lo que ocurre en México. Tal vez el principal culpable. El problema de México es el subdesarrollo, eso es nuestra vergüenza, y de ella somos culpables todos. El subdesarrollo es causado por la desigualdad y la injusticia, tiene como motor descompuesto la ineptitud y en la basura que produce florece, mejor que en ninguna otra parte, la corrupción". ↗

The running pants were tolerable, Drustan decided, relieved. The blue trews had clearly been a torture device and would have strangled a man's seed. Mayhap men were fashioned differently in her time. He hadn't seen one other bulge out there on the street; mayhap they all had wee carrots in their trews. ↗
