I have a sneaking sympathy for rummie and his "gringoes". After all, we gringos have had the upper hand for a coupla centuries. I guess we can stand to be badmouthed a bit, my view. And it's true that rummie is a fairly mild-mannered chap if you set aside the aggressive content of his dog-with-bone use of "gringo". Hell, he's just trying to get our goat. Why let him?
