Rodriguez what an awesome human being...just watched this interview with him.

"And what about all the those years of back breaking labor, was that hard on you? ... well physically it was hard but there is no shame in hard work...There is no shame in being poor. Poor doesn't mean dirty. Poor doesn't mean stupid and poor doesn't mean, mean"
