I am always fascinated by the insatiable need of Western societies to 
regualte things as if by decree. I believe this is one of the biggest 
obstacles in learning how to behave, in tango and in life. The way the 
general perception see latins... Paying attention to the justifiable 
needs of others as a default, and knowing when you cross the line (not 
forbidden, just not pretending that you are entitled to do so) would 
help both the US and Europe become much more 'liveable'. Right now, if 
there is a 'rule' for something then nobody gives a sh*t about what is 
balanced, and what happens to the other person. Those 'codigos' are 
simple things to avoid a more aggressive confrontation. They aren't 
really rules as such. They are life insurance policies. You can break 
them, but retalation will not be automatic. Only if the breaking of the 
rule caused harm to someone else.

I do not believe that the artificial separation (even if voluntary) 
solves anything - it only separates people. The solution would be to pay 
attention to very basic ethics of reciprocity. Do unto others as you 
would have them do unto you. Or rather: Bump into others as you would 
have them bump into you.

Cheers,
Aron
