Aaaah, what would the world be widdout impetuous youth, anyway?
I must admit, though, the implied suggestion that the war for independence from Mexico was racially-motivated and/or driven was . . . well . . . cockeyed. There were, and are, tons o' Mexican citizens who are as "white" as you 'n' me ever thought about bein'.
All in all, I trust ol' flo got the joke. 
Amen.
