Welcome to my life. Over 400 people (yes you read that right) have been murdered in Juarez so far this year. The number may be even higher. The news isn't covering it for some odd reason. Major drug war in Mesico right now. They have even sent in US troops. Local papers have it...Juarez is about 10 minutes from my house. Sad.

I sure am glad we're fighting over there so we don't have to over here.

surfnazi: I sure am glad we're fighting over there so we don't have to over here.

Think of all the jobs that we create in undeveloped countries that would be lost if we legalized pot and coke here. We'd have to be monsters to take that earning potential from poverty stricken people.

This war on drugs sure is going well!

I'm pretty fearless, but lately even I am a little jumpy in Mexico. Which is sad, as I love spending time there.

This is going to really hurt the people who make their money off of tourists, and that is a lot of people in the border towns.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Fuck Mexico. Mexico is like 10,000 Texases, where Texas is a measuring unit of extreme suckitude.
