It's widely available (except perhaps for Chile, although that could be changing) and is viewed as a private matter.<br /><br />- Prostitution is also pretty much out in the open, and an accepted practice. Strangely enough, pornography is frowned on.<br /><br />- Being gay is still something one needs to be discreet about, but once again attitudes are changing, and actually pretty quickly.<br /><br />- I never have given it much attention, but I don't think you find much support for gun owners' rights in these places. If I were in charge of the NRA, I would view immigration as a backdoor way of ginning up support for gun control.<br /><br />- The political culture is based on patronage & corruption, and you vote for a particular party or candidate with the expectation that goodies will flow your way.<br /><br />So in all I would say that anyone expecting large scale immigration from points south to move the country to the right, culturally and politically speaking, is going to be mighty disappointed.Sgt.
