I can see where the Death Penalty would work out in Mexico, especially as applied to Officialdom.
Providing a way out of it for those sentenced would be an excellent source of Mordida. And not the petty kind.
For myself, "I don't want to set the world on Fire" and I certainly don't give a crap about reforming Anybody else's political system if it doesn't
work to my advantage.
I'll pay on the spot as long as it's reasonable. The only time in many, many occasions when I declined, it was because the amount requested was too
high. AND, that was only once years ago. Since then I've been a satisfied customer.
Y'All who are dedicated to reforming the system check in once in awhile so we know how that's going. Consider me the (willing and paying) enemy.
It's OK. |
I wish I'd said that.

While I do Deplore the present system there are times when it has it's uses but not for me as I believe Honesty & Goodness and all that, well
except maybe something involving Jail Time.
\"take what you can, give nothing back!\"
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the
American people.\'
Theodore Roosevelt 1907
We can have no \"50-50\" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.

Well, I'll tell you, if Felipe Calderon cannot beat the cartels within the three years left in his presidency, the next president of Mexico will be a
drug dealer. The cartels have the money, power and connections to steal the next election. When that happens, any ex-pat had better have his bags
packed.
And the death penalty won't work in Mexico. For one thing, criminals do crimes based upon their estimate of how likely they would be caught, not the
severity of the penalty. For another thing, if Mexico had the death penalty, the only people executed would be innocent people too poor to pay off the
authorities.

The CIA would have that guy dead in moments...that is unless he was dealing drugs for them.

Your right. My bad. They'd probably just make him an offer he couldn't refuse and go into business with him. Mexico doesn't have the
market cornered on corruption.
