The Sultan of Sewers - William Burroughs' anti-authoritarian vision
"I am not able to share your enthusiasmfor the deplorable conditions which obtain in the U.S. at this time," he told his leftist friend. "I think the U.S. is heading in the direction of a Socialistic police state similar to England, and not too different from Russia....At least Mexico is no obscenity 'Welfare' State, and the more I see of this country the better I like it. It is really possible to relax here where nobody tries to mind your business for you."Reason.com

I don't think Burroughs would have liked what Mexico has become. The Mind Your Own Business is something I agree with.
