I think they see it as a chance to make easy money and to corrupt the minds and souls of Westerners!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-29651383649811285832009-03-04T17:56:00.000-06:002009-03-04T17:56:00.000-06:00Amen. Although I don't think it will ever happen,...Amen. Although I don't think it will ever happen, I think drugs need to be legalized and sold in stores like a drugstore. (no pun intended) Look what happened to organized crime when Prohibition was repealed. Take away the need to smuggle and there are no more smugglers or the tons of money that it generates.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-44880204426723535572009-03-04T17:12:00.000-06:002009-03-04T17:12:00.000-06:00I hate that things are so dangerous on the border ...I hate that things are so dangerous on the border right now. I know a lot of people that live along that border and I know this is a big impact for them.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you Sue, I think the drug laws should be enforced on the users and if the demand was not there then the issue would not be as bad. It needs to be addressed from both sides.<BR/><BR/>I feel for these folks on the border.Benniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097317908338598428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-29574744356932750982009-03-04T10:14:00.000-06:002009-03-04T10:14:00.000-06:00I don't get it either, but I know many of the bord...I don't get it either, but I know many of the border towns are downright dangerous now. And Phoenix is the kidnapping capital of the U.S. -- and that's related to the drug/human smuggling from Mexico to here. I think it's all about power, greed, and desperation -- on both sides of the border.<BR/><BR/>I know it's the big topic on blogs and message boards now as to the U.S. media exaggerating the problem. The media's just reporting what's happening. Some people are also blaming the media for the current U.S. economic crisis -- like it's not real. <BR/><BR/>I hope Mexico and the U.S. can get a handle on it. Mexico's a beautiful country. It's so frightening and sad that drug thugs can wreak that kind of havoc.Life's a Beach!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17604678027403810586noreply@blogger.com
