rfidler…...glad you have such insight as to what
        my world view is….I know what what yours is
        too !!!!

both countries got screwed for your friends on wall street

P.S.  the U.S. is still the world’s largest debtor
    nation…BY FAR…using the economic system
    that you defend for what ever reason

hello. Hapless, i agree the college kids of today are nothing more than graduated high school juniors of yesteryear, dependent upon not only money and security from their parents: but also parenting. they are too immature to develop their own minds- perfect corporate fodder. if they do their work, they deserve some relief- at ma and pa’s expense. writing an article bypassing the 30,000 just dead in time Mexicans, and belittling it to college playtime is disgraceful.

If you try telling these kids that there is abject poverty in large parts of Mexico, most of them will think you’re crazy.  Needless to say, the college students who descend upon Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are totally isolated from the real mexico.  I can guarantee you that this inordinate consumption would not occur if these kids gained a real sense of where they are.  they would feel ashamed and embarrassed at their arrogance.

I think the following image really speaks to this:

“I have not seen one mainstream jounalist address the millions that the unfair and unjust trade agreements have left homeless, run off the land and impoverished in Mexico.”

Maybe it’s because there aren’t any…

Wasn’t it people like you who whined that NAFTA would send all US jobs to Mexico?

And since in your world view, economics is a zero sum game, that is, in order to get rich, you have to make someone poor, who got shafted, Mexicans or the US?

TD ....I’ll do what I can do to control myself…...

Of course, the troubles of our neighbor to the south
have a whole lot more to do than all about drugs.
American mediia will once again cover for corporate elites
and make this all about the War on Drugs and the “Mexican”
drug mafia with no mention of America’s responsibility.
When any of the U.S. client states have any social
problems such as Mexica is experiencing, the first move
our government makes is to send weapons, all the time,
time after time with the root cause of the social problem
always ignored just as they are doing in our own country.
I have not seen one mainstream jounalist address the
millions that the unfair and unjust trade agreements
have left homeless, run off the land and impoverished
in Mexico.  The media will lock and step once again for
our government which is nothing more than the law \
enforcement for Wall Street.

“Parents should not allow their children to visit these Mexican (border) cities because their safety cannot be guaranteed,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw said in a warning issued March 4.

As if safety is guaranteed in any spring break location. Apparently its OK to die from acute alcohol toxicity but it’s just not acceptable to be shot by a member of a Mexican drug cartel.
