My father couldn't see us getting an education and having a better life than them in Mexico, not as a campesino. Here we are now, their children, counselors, teachers, doctors, and soldiers in our new country... It's unfortunate but until Mexico can guarantee safety and more opportunities for its hardworking poor, they will choose to go elsewhere like my parents did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-72495154413618009202010-08-10T11:35:02.550-06:002010-08-10T11:35:02.550-06:00I Love my Mexico the ranches the small villages wh...I Love my Mexico the ranches the small villages where people are happy work are honest.

The greed,and lust for control, or power over another ,will only cause their demise. It will get worse. We can't realisticaly blame the cartels and their leaders for everything that's going on. If you think about it ,we are all to blame. Drugs are here to stay,it's just the way it is. The poor get sucked into the business because they have to survive some how, and they are probably the most abused in this vicious circle. Mexico's leaders and Pres. have let the country become even more lawless than it has ever been.I think they should carry a lot of the blame. The blood that is flowing in the streets ,is on their hands. Let them know somehow that you are not going to keep letting them ruin your country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-46943547426857048142010-08-09T00:24:50.545-06:002010-08-09T00:24:50.545-06:00Here is what I see.

I am surprised that in Monterrey it seems they in fact do return the kidnapped after ransom is paid, many kidnappings end in death even after ransom is paid in other cities. Mexican's are the hardest working, family loving, happy people on earth. Deemed so 3 or 4 years straight...but now the happiest people on earth are scared shitless. and I see something happening that scares Abuela Chivis even greater. I see a new generation of children whose dreams are being effected by these bastards, being influenced in a way that says the future will be much worse than now. For the kids I work with and interact with, sweet beautiful children with great potential talk openly about aspirations of becomming Narcos, and beautiful little girls saying they want to marry a narco with lots of money....that just about sucks the life out of me. I was at a school last month on the last day of school. I was speaking with 5 ten yr old girls asking about their dreams for their future, one said I am going to be a doctor, another sweet child says I will be a professor of english...another girl laughed and said professor? They only get paid 500 pesos a week .. you will be poor. She continues and says I am marrying a narco and I will have a big house with a swimming pool, another girl says me too!!! and the last girl could see I was so upset that when I asked about her she looked down and shrugged her little shoulders. 3 out 5 want to marry those fuckers that are destroying our Mexico, our culture....abuela chivisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-59050063096608204262010-08-08T23:19:27.289-06:002010-08-08T23:19:27.289-06:00mexico is a beautiful country, i admired so much a...mexico is a beautiful country, i admired so much about mexicans, culture, language, historical etc. i got in the drug crossfire war in ciudad juarez, it was a horrible experience but i still want to return to mexico some day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-65380753106038258902010-08-08T22:16:00.955-06:002010-08-08T22:16:00.955-06:00Over...

Mira...lo...Over...<br /><br />...hay que no desesperarnos...<br /><br />Mira...los grandes se comeran a los chicos, o los chicos se unen o se mueren...<br /><br />...mientras, los que quedan se pelean con la policia y el gobierno y poco a poco se van a ir acabando las liebres...the carteles will become weaker and weaker with every one of the battles. <br /><br />I already love the Mexico that is going to rise from the ashes of the carteles. From this we will see a decrease in their numbers and their coercive power; definitely a reduction in their economic and political power. To combat this, the federal and state legislatures will have no choice but to move towards pandering to the electorate...they won't fear the carteles as much as the people...<br /><br />..no hay de otra...<br /><br />It won't happen overnight, alot of people will still die, many innocents will still be caught in the crossfire.<br /><br />With every firefight, with every narcomanta, with every head in a cooler we are witnessing political events! <br /><br />Its great!

My brother-in-law was recently kidnapped in Monterrey and after getting him back (for $20,000 USD) we have not reported to police.<br /><br />Why? Because we are afraid they will come back. And because we fear the police are involved in some way.<br /><br />But our fears make the problem worse.<br /><br />So what is the solution?<br /><br />Our beloved Mexico is turning into the worst of 3rd world countries.

Certainly, the poor conditions for those at the bottom of society play a part, but wrong is just wrong!<br /><br />What happened to working hard and striving to get ahead to make a better life for yourself and your family?<br /><br />No, these people want what they see on TV without having to work for it.<br /><br />Where are their families? Their mothers? <br /><br />Society created this problem by ignoring the crime and corruption all around them. And now we should feel sorry for society? I don't think so<br /><br />I feel sorry for the millions upon millions of hard-working people who are trying to make their way without turning to crime. This article diminishes their hard work to avoid crime and the cartels by saying it is not society's fault for turning to illegal activities.<br /><br />We are all responsible, regardless of economics. For ignoring the crime and corruption. For failing to report everything and holding our police and officials responsible when they don't act. For thinking the problem would just go away if we just ignore it.<br /><br />We have many things to fix in our country. Education, wages, health care. But that does not excuse turning to crime.<br /><br />We voted these people in for decades and ignored while they stole our money and got in bed with the cartels. We have to be the source for fixing things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
