• >D Viva Mexico

  
  

  8D at about this hour, Father Miguel Hidalgo made a call to arms up in his belltower, denouncing the Spanish rulers. He had made plans to rebel anyway, but the Spanish were catching on. From here, he gained support and eventually a rebel army was formed and fought the Spanish. He was killed before realizing his dream of a free Mexico, but 11 years later in 1821, Mexico was finally an independent country.

  Now every year, the current president rings a bell in commemoration :D

  Everybody sing!

  Mexicanos, al grito de guerra el acero aprestad y el bridón. Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra, al sonoro rugir del cañón. ¡Y retiemble en sus centros la tierra, al sonoro rugir del cañón!

  Now don't get me wrong - I like the US, but there is nothing wrong with being proud of your heritage. I don't mind as long as no one is getting put down. :D so celebrate

  Oh, and Pop 'n Music music is cool :D
