Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Let all the trouble pass away by legalizing drugs. Zombies are preferable to highly trained and armed drug militias. Or you could do a Mao style North American intervention.
“Let all the trouble pass away by legalizing drugs.”
That may happen with Obama. But there is still the human smuggling, kidnapping and general terrorism by the cartels.
Mexico won’t extradite prisoners to America because we have a death penalty, yet their corrupt government is part and partnered with drug smugglers (who even use the Mexican military to smuggle drugs INTO America) and the government makes no proclamations against these murders. And the UN is strangely silent (they also only speak out against prisoners in Texas on death row).
Agreed.
Human trafficking through coy-otes is quite lucrative. $3-5,000 apiece. 20-40 people in a van/truck.
Which drugs do we legalize? Pot? Cocaine? Meth? Ectasy? Heroin? Xanex? Oxycotin?
“Human trafficking through coy-otes is quite lucrative. $3-5,000 apiece. 20-40 people in a van/truck.”
Yep. And about 15 to 25 grand if you’re Chinese or Iranian.
Add glue and spray paints to that list.
How about low cost prescription medicines, sometimes made with drywall and other fillers?

If it is legal, wouldn’t it be made with higher quality additives? But if someone wants to shoot, snort, smoke or eat sheet rock dust by all means let them do it.
Prescription medicines in America are expensive. Patents and all of that. But there are low cost prescriptions in some other countries. Sometimes because they are subsidized by those governments. And sometimes because they are knockoffs that have been tagged as the legit product.
Some of them come from China. You’ll have to do you own research to find out why they bother to use drywall and other crap in prescription medicines that people need to survive.
Let the free market decide what is consumed in this matter. Lets say China floods the market with cheap Aspirin that is made out of sheet rock dust. The first people that use it and have some sort of stomach or bowel problem will go to the doctor. The doctor will take the product to a lab and the lab will determine that the Aspirin is really made of Calcium Sulfate instead of Aspirin. Then the word will spread, nobody will buy that brand of Aspirin, more Chinese products will be suspect, three managers and a CEO of a Chinese factory will be immediately executed and legitimate products will then be purchased and consumed. We don’t need another layer of bureaucracy and a series of SWAT teams to guard us from these abuses.
No one is paying attention to Mexico, Jack Black. Do you think they will when it finally blows up in our faces? The peeps are too busy discussing the death of one poor kid who happens to be a celebrity’s son.....like that makes a difference in their world.
Please add me to the Mexico ping list. Eyes wide open.
