I think what's really sad is they have these warning signs, but they still don't want to let go of wrong ways and then it's going to be too late. I hear a lot of stories about Pancho Villa (because of where I live)---some pretty bad --from families whose homes he rode through. One grandmother was a little girl who hid terrified when they came riding into their home and breaking and burning things, then they fled to the US which was hard because they had been used to having everything and a lot of servants which they lost. Many people died ---but it's interesting you meet people here who think he was a great hero.

My great grandparents were foriegn mining engineers in Durango, Mexico and fled to the U.S. during Poncho Villa's raids.
Mom recently told me a story about her mother and siblings having to ride down a mountain in mine cars to avoid Villa's horsemen.
