January 9, 2011. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. A Bad Rap.

The drugs are being used by people who live in North America.  The drugs are grown and manufactured in Central and South America.  Because drug usage is illegal in North America,  it is expensive to obtain,  so folks will go to any length to get their hands on that money.

The government had been waging a war against drug use.  They are failing.  The government has been waging war on the drug importers both in Colombia and Mexico.   The drug importers are fighting with each other to protect their area.  It is violent and it is ugly.   It is hard to determine if the government is winning.

The bad rap is for the people of Mexico.     Most people are not involved and just continue to work hard and care for their families.   The violence occurs in several specific areas in Mexico and always between the drug people.  And yet, major TV analysts state that they would not travel to Mexico because of the violence and corruption.  It is a bum rap.   It reminds me of the rum runners during prohibition.
