There is a saying, do you think Jose in a van is responsible for trafficking millions of tons of drugs, shipping endless containers of high power
weapons and ammo and laundering trillions of dollars?
Put your mind around it, what level or support is required to ship and transfer that much drugs and weapons and money? IT's a massive transfer or
materials that requires industirial manufacturing, shipping containers, plans, schedules, planes trains and trucking.
This is not a clandestine operation its right in front of you, open your eyes. Or like CHuckie keep them closed b ut that doesn't make it go away.
If instead of supporting massive corruption through non-response we could be actively supporting productivity, think of the difference for our future.
A little effort and energy goes a long way.

On the Bright Side of Life
The BIG upside to Anarchy (at a distance) is it makes for GREAT TV !
The more, the better.
Especially next door.
Riots are entertaining.

They say that immigration is an economic thing.
It is JUST as much about not getting screwed. ( by cartels, etc.)
Its really our legal system and all about being able to sue someone and live to talk about it with the person you sued someday. (freedom has many
layers)
This forum is an extension of the same ideal in my book, no difference
Walk in someone elses shoes when possible for perspective.

In part...yes. England, France and others would add other reasons for regretting their open door policies for Political Islam, the world's most
rightfully feared cartel.

I came across an interesting movie recently, "The Perfect Dictatorship/La Dictadura Perfecta' on Netflix.
It seems like somewhat of a comedy to me, but also relevant to all the political corruption and media manipulation in the Mexican (and many others)
government currently.

There's nothing old about the rapidly escalating level of economic suffering being heaped on the average Mexican citizen right now with no end in
sight. Add the pressure on the auto companies to move production and jobs out of Mexico and you have conditions that resemble those before the French
Revolution where heads did in fact roll.

All of the problems are old, and not really specific to Mexico, but it is an interesting topic given the recent events in Mexico.
Last year I heard people who've been living in Baja, and following some of the politics, talk about how disgusted people are with the current
President. Like many politicians, he didn't fulfill his promises. I recall being in restaurants and locals would start cussing at the tv when he would
come on. Not investing in education specifically. I'd think investing in infrastructure for the oil industry should have also been another priority,
and now the price hikes are showing their effect.
As in the US the fuel price increase made everything more expensive, and had a lot to do with the recession. Sad situation as there are already so
many people who are just scraping by, and I suspect they can't just print Trillions of dollars to rectify the situation like the US does. Politicians
too often turn into shameless money grabbers, rather than actually trying to make their constituents lives better.

When Walking in Someone Else's Shoes.........
........Try to find someone with the same size.
AND, given the hygiene practiced by some, use some Lysol spray inside first.
