I have friends from Mexico and they knew people who were kidnapped. They say Mexico City is dangerous and they would never go back there. Mexican police is corrupt and they can shoot whenever they want. Most of Mexico's wealth is in the hand of a few wealthy families, who have been ruling since the 16th century. They are like the de-facto royal family of Mexico.

Exactly...Mexico has been ruled by the same 20 or so families for the last few hundred years. They control everything! Especially the banks...that we keep bailing out.

hopefully Fox will lose the next election - and I frankly don't care who wins - maybe Mexico needs a communist president for a while, to root out that oligarchy.

what's the alternative?
