Virgil, If I can understand what you are saying I get you! But I rarely understand what you are saying.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I don't think satire is dead, at all. I do think, however, there's a problem with trying to put it across on a message board because of the lack of body language and facial expression as adjuncts to the written word. Because so much here is contentious, to try to satirize contention is probably not going to work near as well as satirizing the history of Mexico. One is personal, the other isn't. I enjoy satire as much as the next person; however, I'm well aware of conditions under which it just doesn't quite come across properly.

So true.. and the recipient of the satire may mistake it as sarcasm - it's not like a 'roast' where friendly teasing is understood - and a "winky" emot doesn't relay the same message as body language or facial expressions.
