To the average mexican selling or manufacturing drugs is not a problem.
Their opinion is it's just another commodity and much more lucrative than working in the fields for nothing.
If there were only three mexicans and one Mota plant left in the country there would still be a cartel operating and drugs for sale.

I moved here for several reasons ....
I remember the Baja Califoria of the fifties and sixties ....
The Baja where gringos weren't lied to and cheated by so called builders and tradesmen.
This is not Mexico !
Mexico is on the mainland ....
I probably should have moved to San Miguel de Alliande ...
I have several friends that have moved there , they seem to enjoy it.
Also, I thought I would be in for a cheap retirement in a beautiful part of the planet.
Todos Santos is an expensive place to llive ....
All in all, except for the tropical summer, it has been a good life experience.
I am not, with a couple of exceptions, impressed with the Baja Mexicans (a view held by many on the mainland).
And by the way ....
Tipping when NO service is provided really grates on me.
And all of the propinas and mordidas that suck the economy dry while contributing nothing to the infrastructure. I pay a 10% rental tax on my casa
and they can't fix the one foot deep potholes I drive through to cross into town 
My vehicle has been virtuall shaken to death by the roads here.
And the dust, don't get me started ....
And yes, I don't belong here ....
You will be reading of the really serious issues after I clear the border ... it is not safe to speak of many things that happen even in a place like
Todos Santos 
So I have laid bare my innermost feelings here ....
Those of you who would try to silence opinions or news, or who would resort to name calling and personel attacks do not matter to me. Those who
would censure are the lowest of the low.
Like I mentioned, you will get your opportunity to hasten my departure, and to put your money where your mouths are.
The only well balanced and happy gringos I have met, simply do not live here without periodic trips back north.
Have a great day, I know I will,
Oh, yes I fully expect several of you to take shots, be my guest,
CaboRon

In fact, many of the so-called Baja Mexicans you refer to as less impressive than mainland Mexicans, are exactly that. Mainland Mexicans. The building
boom in the 80's and 90's required the developers to bring thousands of workers over from the mainland. I remember the awful living conditions they
tolerated while building the time share resorts, Etc. Let's face it, if you were a Mexican on the mainland, with any education, a decent job, or good
prospects, would you agree the ship over to the Baja to live in a tar paper shack/dorm?

May I be so bold as to suggest a "Ron's Nearly Gone" new thread so it doesnt get lost in this cartel thread?
just a note...I figure I am better balanced now and MUCH happier now that I rarely (every 5 years or so for wedding or funeral) make trips north.

The press is in it to make money. The press get used and manipulated by people trying to further agendas all the time.
The press in the USA is more able to accurately report about the narcos as they don't have to worry about being killed as much as the Mexican press
does. However; the truth is not the priority in the USA. It's money.
Journalistic ethics is a huge issue that most people really don't have a good grip on. I spent a short time working for a large magazine and found
out quickly, they would not review, or review favorably, products unless they advertised in the magazine. That is the norm for most publishers, and
the public really has no idea. It's pay to play.
Nowadays, the news is just a way to make money by selling ad space, period. |
Obama's first interview was to reach out with the muslim world. No mention of Mexico. When he feels Mexico is worthy comment- he will- and the press
will cover it ad nauseum.
The muslim word still has leaders the USA can reach out to- leaders who have a direct influence on the actions of their followers. Mexico has no one
free from corruption that their people will follow (except for Calderon presumably- who is totally impotent- it is the narcos who control his country
and were part of his inner circle as well).
When Mexico is capable of doing something about it's many social and economic problems- it will get some positive attention from Obama and the US
press. Even Castro and Chavez are talking nicey nice about Omaba now- and Russia just delayed putting it's short range missles in western europe
citing the new tone from Obama.
Mexico is not Obamas or americans priorty by any means. He has too many economic and geo-political issues to deal with that peole want to solve. What
team of geniuses is working on Mexican security issues for her people?
Mexico will have to wait for good press until Mexico herself steps up, cleans herself up and aquires the credibility to join Obama on the world stage.
Until then it's just a third-world neighbor in distress.
I can't figure out wh the many smart Mexicans who left Mexico for the USA for better educations and hope for their futures- can't return to Mexico to
start bringing hope and eduation to their homeland. Mexicans are ready to follow a leader who can fix the problmes- but no one has stood up to take
the job.

gotta admit Carlin is a genius. I'd imagine that a few televised and sponsored upside down naked crucifixions of the bankers that launder the drug
money would solve this problem immediately

Calderone visited with Obama just before the inauguration. Can't really find fault if Obama's administration feels that a priority to world safety is
doing something about the Midele East.

I agree that would be a great first step to help changing things. The problem lies in that THEY are waiting for someone
else to fix things before they risk coming back.
It truly is a Catch-22...

Ron,
Don't be too disheartened....you are entertaining a few of us with your stand-up routine on this forum...
Moving to Lost Wages??? And your disappointment with your Baja fantasy has turned you bitter wait till you hit Vegas
LV ain't what it was "in the day" of your memories, I bet.
I encourage you to find the true source of your bitterness (aside from potholes in Todos...of which there must have been many more in its glory
days...).
I must say that I agree with your disdain for religion (the corporate bastardization of spirituality), but that isn't the point of this thread....it
is, once again, "US Reporting..."
I hope you research your next move a little better so your expectations will be congruent with reality...
Que via bien

Actually before I moved here in the fall of '97 I would ususlly fly to Las Vegas three or four times a year either to see a new show or to work on
one.
Cheers,
