In short the right isn't conservative and the left socially concerned. Its about money. <br /><br />The cartels are business associates of large economic interests in the United States. The trouble in Mexico is ultimately about the northerners streamlining profits. A rather simple, basic logistics study would prove the bulk of product is protected.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-85721035642749347412011-10-12T18:01:33.965-06:002011-10-12T18:01:33.965-06:00@ 10:50 PM.

Denying it doesn't change that fact that indeed there are opposite worldviews and ends of the political spectrum. <br /><br />That said, despite their often funny banners attempting to show "political" positions, the majority of Cartels and gangs seem to be mostly apolitical and are interested only in generating as much money and the perks that come with it - as possible. The political interests of most of them are whatever politician or official they can buy off that helps them in their business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-33484063120425169942011-10-12T16:39:03.264-06:002011-10-12T16:39:03.264-06:00are you sureare you sureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-24291878581083102382011-10-12T11:13:18.396-06:002011-10-12T11:13:18.396-06:00Maybe if we had journalists in the US with the cou...Maybe if we had journalists in the US with the courage of the Mexican journalists things would be different here. <br />I am jealous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-8108777934811009142011-10-12T00:07:44.245-06:002011-10-12T00:07:44.245-06:00The military kills at least as many journalists as...The military kills at least as many journalists as the criminals do in Mexico. In some areas the military and criminals work together to kill journalist. Also, large corporations from all over the globe kill journalist in Mexico. Its business. <br /><br />In the U.S the say as you are told's rise to the top and its one big lying fest. The corruption is so pervasive that most of the voters actually think there is a right and left politicly.

I am sure Mexicos' doctors are among the most at risk in the world just as the funeral home directors are too. I am sure bar owners in Mexico are among the most at risk bar owners around the world. They just don't have a voice. Not to mention the danger of driving a taxi or running a taco stand for that matter. This is certainly not a downplay on journalists in Mexico. They have to be some of the boldest humans anywhere and their work must be horrifying. What I am trying to say is, Mexico is on a fast track to being labeled an "uncivilized nation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195137745759962560.post-75951486725175477772011-10-11T22:28:57.967-06:002011-10-11T22:28:57.967-06:00Journalists know where they stand, it has never be...Journalists know where they stand, it has never been a surprise.
