Well, that's one of the reasons I wouldn't go to Mexico.;)

It's crazy how many stories you hear about tourists being either waylaid or killed in Mexico. Yet people keep lining up to go over there. Why? Surely there are places around the world that would be just as beautiful, but safer to visit, right?
It's absolutely insane, no way I'd plan a trip to Mexico. And I'm not the type to over react to things, but frankly the situation in Mexico scares me.


For what it's worth, I thought it was funny.

It's PG 13 around here.

I think we've skated on the edge of that one once or twice. ;)

Bag of Severed Heads Left Near Mexican School


Drug crackdown has gangs turning to extortion


Five severed heads were left in a bag near a Mexican primary school, the latest example of the ruthless violence plaguing the country.
Police were not able to determine if the grisly find, in an Acapulco neighborhood, was connected to extortion threats against teachers. Some 140 schools have closed their doors in recent weeks due to frightened teachers going on strike, according to The Associated Press.
The men's heads were in a sack inside a wooden crate placed near the school, officers said. Messages threatening three aleged drug traffickers were also found in the bag.

'Zeta Killers' kill 32 more in Mexico



(AP) MEXICO CITY — A relatively new drug gang is responsible for killing at least 67 people whose bodies were found over the course of a couple of weeks in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz, Mexican authorities said Friday.

Marines arrested eight members of the Jalisco New Generation drug gang Thursday, navy spokesman Jose Luis Vergara said at a news conference. The suspects later led authorities to 32 bodies left in three houses in Veracruz, a port city that carries the state's name.

Vergara said the gang is also responsible for dumping 35 bound, tortured bodies on a busy boulevard in a suburb of Veracruz on Sept. 20.

The navy appeared eager to dampen speculation that the New Generation gang, believed to be allied with Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel, is some sort of paramilitary group aimed at eliminating the hyper-violent Zetas cartel.

On a side note, I just read that Charles (Adam the space hippy) Napier died this past Wednesday. Seemed like a decent cuss.
