goodcat Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Solajijic: Why would you make such an unproductive, unsolicited and unkind comment? Lower Riberas is not the back of beyond. It is our home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Liana Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Agreed. It is so unmexican to say sorry for politicos here. Good for him. There's an old Mexican saying that perfectly fits this situation: "Es más fácil pedir perdón que pedir permiso." --It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission. He got what he wanted--the payoff--and now he gets by with an, "Oops, sorry, won't happen again." Pure politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Liana Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Actually that's a Grace Hopper quote. Well...I do believe that Grace Hopper said it (there are citations in 1986 and in 2003), but I also know it was in use in Mexico (in Spanish) long, long prior to 1986. It is believed to have originated with Sta. Teresa de Jesús (aka Sta. Teresa de Ávila), in 16th century Spain. It's the sort of saying that is a world truism and no doubt had multiple 'origins' over the course of centuries. Grace Hopper was a terrific woman, raised Catholic, and had no doubt read the saying in her studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
