Skeet, you sad old gas bag. I remember 1996 through 2000 in San Nicolas, and you DAMNED SURE were not the only American there. I'm sure I met all
the Americans, and I NEVER saw your lying butt. I don't remember any Canadians either. As for the Americans who came to San Nicolas' after '96, only
one qualifies as really UGLY, and he still lives there and presumably is still a thief. Can you name him, Mr. San Nicolas expert, or is this all just
more gas?

"less civilized" parts of the world - restraining order, probation, anger management programs, hours of community work ... Everything is thoroughly
documented, records are entered for future statistical studies...

Yeah...that's called rape, or attempted rape. Shockingly, a woman has the right to say no even if she is married!

you can scream it from the rooftops that Mexico is a safe place to go, but many gringos are scared sh-less and won't drive down anymore.
leaves more space for us, but if you are depending on tourists Blanca, it must be hard to get them. It will improve over time, be patient.
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

I don't think it is, generally speaking. It's just like the U.S. One avoids certain sections there just like we avoid sections here.
My wife and I took ourselves on a self-drive safari in South Africa and Namibia a few years ago. Rented a 4X4 camper and headed north from Cape Town.
We were out in the 'bush' for five weeks. Never once felt threatened—from humans nor wild critters. Statistics like those in that article can be
selected to illustrate whatever bias the writer wants.
