Reply #7: K&R Mexico Simply Needs Honest Government, Like US!!! [View All]

Excellent topic.

There are significant challenges facing the Mexican people. They come largely because, like us, they have a ruling class that is stealing everything that isn't nailed down and that ruling class includes our lovely representatives south of the border. Once factor not mentioned is the pollution in Mexico City which is debilitating. Mexico City has about 30% of the total population. Another is the lack of serious law enforcement. Residents report actually being on their own when crimes are committed. The police are not reliable.

The assets of Mexico are considerable. If cleaned up and preserved, it's a wonderful land filled with many, many bright creative people. In addition, the most important asset is the Mexican Revolution for Democracy. These are the largest crowds the world has seen for demonstrations for decades and they produced them 3 times in less than three weeks. The people recognize their disadvantages and are striking back with the resistance. The American press is just pathetic on this issue but there are some papers (e.g., La Journada) and internet groups, www.narconews.com, that have exceptional reporting.

An honest US government and an honest Mexican government collaborating together would make North America the hottest, most exciting corner of the world.
