As a Mexican living in Puebla, here is a big deal. There’s even a reenactment of the battle. I just had no idea why in the USA there was such a fervor for this holiday. Thanks for clearing that up.

Re the Zoo episode. You seem well meaning but you provide only half of the debate. There are 2 sides. I’m not knowledgeable about Zoos but of course the Zoo employee says Zoos are good and necessary. Even Joe Rogan now understands that both sides are necessary to hear, in order to form an educated opinion. If you invite guests, on both sides of any topic that we are curious about, I’ll return to listen.
