I don't understand why there's so many advertizments and 'propaganda' about a holiday that really has nothing to do specifically with our country. I've gone to look up what the holiday is about but if we're gonna start on this 'multicutural' road why not start celebrating the end of The French Revolution, The Opium War, or the Crimean War? Why so much emphasis on the Battle of Puebla? If this is so important then why don't we have a bigger celebration for the end of the Civil War?

I know this may sound a little closed minded. But I honestly am a little surprised by all the hoopla. I never noticed much of it before. Is it because of these Immigration changes and protests? Are there any other reasons that I'm hearing about it more??

Do many of you pay attention to it or celebrate it? Do you just use it as an excuse to party?
