Not really. I just heard from a friend in Puerto Vallarta who said it's safe there and in La Paz (Baja). There has always been a lot of trouble between police, Mexican insurgents and illegals from points south.
Kidnappings seem to bad in many places today and have always been bad for Mexican businessmen in Mexico. I think the tourists are still isolated incidents and just reflect rising world population and all the bad things that go with it. Sorry I cant be more specific but I live in Uk now, for the time being, so I am rather out of touch.
Nothing I have heard would worry me about visiting...Bob.
It is laws that create crime and violence. They should just legalize everything and tax the hell out of it! The govt will eventually win, because only a foolish criminal attacks the state.It is more effective to usurped it like in some African countries!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
