  RE: Problem In Mexico
Although not planning any trips to Mexico I just checked to see where
Tenacatitais located and it appears to be over half way down the Pacific
coast.  This is well out of the border area that has drawn so  much
attention due to the drug wars down there.  Those of us so used to the
culture and government of a rational society based on individual rights and
the right to own property (like the US and Canada or most of Western Europe)
with minimal interference by government tend to forget how we got that way
and the struggle that the people in much of the world are still enduring.
If you want a detailed list of the abuses that occur under totalitarian
governments just read through the first ten amendments to the US
constitution, the Bill of Rights.  The people that wrote those knew from
direct personal experience what restrictions had to be placed on government
to assure the opportunity to live as free men and women.
Damn, got onto my soap box again.  But it's Friday, isn't it?
