Cry for help from La Playa
Has anyone seen the postings on Fred Metcalf's Board about the horrible situation near San Jose,at La Playa? I feel so bad for these locals and yet
am at a loss of what he might be asking us "Baja Lovers" to do to help the situation. My husband saw the atrocities this spring and seems to think
the damage has already been done. Just what we need...more golf courses!!

Oh Marie! Oh Marie!
Marie! their is nothing that can be done! The Canadians know that their Dollar goes Farther in Mexico, they know that they want all the things that go
with 'Living the Good Life Cheaper", so off to Baja, where Million are Collected from those with the Money and the Dreams of Living on a Beach{Such
as Loreto Bay village}
As long as the most important thing in life to a Human is "Money' it will contuine and there is nothing anyone can Do.
It will take a change in a Generation to where children are taught to think about other people, instead of only themselves.
It might even take a War aganist Canada , America, England, and all other "Freedom loving countries to Wake people up to the Value of Freedom as
opposed to Slavery!
My Prayers are with you and all others who desire to live in peace and Love!

Yes - you can all do something. Write, donate, call, email - the operative word here is "DO." All of the organizations in the United States and
Mexico whose mission it is to do something about this, need to know that you do not support this kind of "development." The only way they will know
is if you tell them. A group is made up of individuals. Do your part.
