The militia shot some tourists for not stopping at a roadblock. Not good.

Mexico is a battleground with active state department warnings. People traveling in Mexico are taking their chances as much as they would be if traveling in Syria or Lybia.

My guide to the problems with Latin-American politics is Joseph Conrad’s greatest novel, Nostromo, which I first read in high school. I’ve yet to see anything to prove him wrong.

Revolution on the left, revolution on the right, populist takeover, dictatorship of privilege, capitalist exploitation. It all comes out pretty much the same in the end. It’s a sad thing to watch.
