I pray every day for him, for our family members that live in Mexico, and for our friends as well. This is a global dilema, with the world, pretty much turning a blind eye on it. Carnal, I support you in your endeavors, and as a minister, continue to pray that this situation will end soon. That being said, May GOD keep you within HIS watchful Gaze, and ALWAYS within HIS Loving and Protective embrace.

Whether we like it or not, collectively we are ONE BODY OF PEOPLE, AND WE DIRECTLY AND INDIRECTLY AFFECT EACH OTHER. AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE OURSELVES SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER, WE WILL CONTUNUE TO DISRESPECT, DISHONOR OURSELVES TO THE POINT OF EXTINCTION. A person with prestiage, and polictical, or any high level position would do most good if he could reconize him self in that young boy or girl who acted out the actions of the teachers that taught them what we see them doing today. We live in a society where there are no longer good teachers that adolesants can learn from, so we learn from our peers, family, friends. People with authority have the most responsibility with what's happening today. In the end, in the conculsion of our lives, if by some chance, in humility, in truth, humble ourselves, to what we do or don't do will be the fruits of our labor. Did it really matter how much I had in the bank, or what my peers thought of my sucess, but rather, what good did I do in my life that meant much more than that nice car or house.ALL IS VANITY IN THESE EARTH...And if their someones out there who thinks he doesn't have power or prestiage, think again, maybe it's that younger person your hanging out with that is THE ONE that YOU can make a difference for.!!!rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-90836200991390872012011-01-05T00:10:21.273-07:002011-01-05T00:10:21.273-07:00I agree Chapo,Mayo,CDS should be first to go.

Wars cost money and extorsions didn't become common till cartels started fighting each other. Yeah there was violence but innocent people rarely got hurt. And they knew not to get involved. Now the narcos don't make enough money to cover expenses so they take from the weak. If you hit them hard enough to force the cartels to "get along" :) and respetar las plazas! You cut the violence in half.

They have no clue of the world outside their country or expectations of ever becoming something great. Negativity is implanted in their brain from day one. From parents not really wanting them in the first place to poverty destroying their view of family values.

Every ounce of marijuana, gram of cocaine or meth that comes into their possession has one or more murders associated with its transport. <br /><br />Blood diamonds in Africa -- blood drugs in Mexico. No difference. And the poor remain poor, the addicted remain addicted. The powerful remain powerful. And the killing continues.<br /><br />How can we stop it on the addiction front, the money laundering front, the judicial front (where evidence is gathered, cases come to court and convictions are reached), and the investigative arm of the military and police? These are the crucial questions.<br /><br />The last food for thought is this: HOW can these cartel members, lieutenants, and own down the chain of command stand by and watch the slaugher if innoccent children in their name. Have they so little regard for human life that they would destroy generations of their own culture and race. Are they capable of destroying their own children, families??<br /><br />I am afraid that this war is not just about the battles over plazas by different gangs of cartels. It's not just about the money. It's about power and control. Who is egotistical enough to attempt to control the governing bodies in mexico that identify it as civilized. And when civilized society and institutions break down, who will emerge as the ruler of chaos. Now it becomes political and you don't have to be a FARC revolutionary to understand it. Mexico is creating their own brand of revolutionary-terrorist.Kari Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01301038700247894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-9511399082144372702011-01-04T15:27:20.155-07:002011-01-04T15:27:20.155-07:00For the person that said el chapo has the most mon...For the person that said el chapo has the most money in its not true.its that guy from telmex.and el mayo has more money than him,hes never been to jail and didnt have to pay all that money that el chapo did to escape.el chapo just likes more attention.as soon as they talk about sinaloa its el chapo when really its el mayo and el azul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-43866996196242796012011-01-04T05:38:40.675-07:002011-01-04T05:38:40.675-07:00I think that the time has reached that, we the peo...I think that the time has reached that, we the people of europe and united states, we have finally to take in our hands the responsability about drug consumption and money launder.<br />It is simply WRONG that the mexican population have to pay the bill of our fault and incompetence.<br />Mexico has good chances with persons like Dr. Tomas, but that is not enough.<br />Let us help him.
