Plz understand I feel as most here I think Baja is a wonderful place but sometimes I see injustices here I would like to change-on the other hand my wife who is Mexican says we cant change the negative things and could even put our families at risk in attempting to do so. Just curious if I'm a gringo"medleing"in affairs of which I shouldnt.


Just remember the woman in Rosarito who tried to comfort the Life Guard that was shot last month. She not only had the privilege of spending 72 hours in jail but she also caught the wrath of several posters on this site for her (alleged) activity.

Outstanding question, to me the casual Tourist to Mex I'm not
sure has the latitude to demand changes in the host
Country. The Dog Rescue Programs started by Gringos,
the lead by example of litter pickups are fringe topics
that are helpful, other than that, as posted, MYOB

Dennis,
Seeing that you have 30 years experience "serving and protecting" (which I respect ....if you were a "good" cop), I imagine you came across a few homicides, traffic fatalities, suicides, and messy accidents.

How many of those deaths were serious and how many were not serious (your opinion here, as the dead guy couldn't rate their death :lol:).

What type of killing isn't serious? :?:




Don't believe everything you think....
