Based on that tasteless post, I'll settle for just not having to have you as a neighbor...

What happened to the photo of the cut off heads? It is a reality of life in Baja. Why censor it out? We need to confront the cartels' message head on
(excuse the pun) instead of running from it.

Nothing in particular wrong with Virginia today. I cited it in my post as Richmond was the Capital of the Confederacy.

HERE'S WHY I STOPPED GOING TO BAJA!
Once my wife's Green Card is issued, we're gonna be in Baja as much as possible. Until then, we're either here in the USA, or possibly in Puerto Rico
for vacations.

Ken Cooke, It is a Joy
To read about and see the good things that are happening to you.
May you and yours find many years of fulfillment in life wherever you decide to go. If it is Baja, then Baja will be all the better for your
presence.

Love it when I hear some Americano exclaiming how dangerous Mexico is and how they would never, ever cross the border!
I always tell them there's a bandito hiding behind every cactus and warn them to never go to Baja - much too dangerous!
Fact is - I want to keep Baja just the way it is - we sure don't need the teeming masses north of the border overrunning our paradise!

Barry,
Thank you for the Congratulations. Now, you know why I haven't been in Baja with my friends and our Jeeps. But, Baja awaits...like an addiction
where there is no cure...
Ensenada, Playas de Tijuana, Laguna Salada, Gonzaga Bay... I can't wait!!

Your lavish spending doesn't seem to support: the local population who are now unemployed: bankrupted businesses; and failed growth initiatives.
Hopelessness and crime are the outcomes of this sad event.
You must be proud to gloat over it in such a selfish way. Congrats on reaching a high water mark of callousness toward your indigenous hosts.

Baja Jeeping is second to none!!

For me, it was driving those Jeeps over cliffs for fun??  ... but, if it makes you happy.. go do it.. just remember you will get old, and all
the coco's you get when your young and indestructuable, WILL come to visit you once your into your 60's and 70's.. think 80's you stop feeling much,
your on some much medication.. there are however some.. that take a licken and keep on ticken.. hope your one of those...
Good luck on your adventures in the Baja.. and with that gal, with the super smile... on med's with a lot of old wounds that have come back.. but,
then I get to remember how I got, the broken knee, motorcycle into a car that turned left in front of me, broken leg, skiing, broken shoulder, riding
a bull, broken jaw, fight, fractured skull , fight, broken ankle.. you get the idea.. yeah, great ain't it and I was a winner too...
Just saying take care of that beautiful wife, I don't care about you,.. But no kidding be careful out there, have fun, but be careful, you do break, and
mend.. but those breaks come back in your old age.. trust me..
I'm sure there are a few others out there, that are walking wounded to some degree.. from their youthful exuberance, feel free to chip in.. war
stories are great.. and I bet we have some really good ones from down here in the Baja...
A loser at the top of his game...

So, was Baja "Hopeless and crime-ridden" before the gringos arrived? Somehow I think it was a happier place before!
As for my indigenous hosts, I have nothing but respect for them and their land - and I'm grateful for the services they provide. But encouraging an
"invasion" of their homeland by hordes of gringos won't necessarily enrich their lives.
And my selfishness? Well, maybe - I just love Baja the way it is.

Take away the cartel violence from Mexico, and there would still be crime. But the fact is that Mexico, in the past decade or two has vastly improved
their educational system and produced an immense number of middle class manufacturing jobs.
During this same period, US education has continually crumbled and middle class manufacturing jobs have been disappearing.
Something to fear is that there is an ever increasing angry backlash building among white Americans, as they gradually lose their majority status in
the population.
Anyone see any symbolism in that the Republicans had some plain vanilla guy who had been Governor of Virginia for 11 days, give their rebuttal to the
State of the Union speech? And it was delivered from the State House once presided over by Jeffferson Davis!
Carrying three guns in your car is surely the answer. |
A very salient point, which is not stated by many, with out an attack on the person making a rather valid observation .. thanks

no hijack intended, but- I did like that part of Obama's SOU address. Countries like India are expanding their education and infra-structure and also
want to be #1 in the world. If the USA wants to stay #1, the gov't needs to get to work. No one has their heads in the sand, they just aren't working
together. I don't think they need to be worried about Mexican domination of the world unless they bottle my Mother-in-laws chicken mole.

Woooosh makes a very important point. If people in the US are going to focus solely on maximizing there profit on investments on a quarterly basis,
constantly harrangue about lowering taxes, which results in cuts to programs such as education, then they had damm well be prepared to be something
other than number one.
