text: what has become of mexico? in one hand we got a congress that is a joke to the country, congressmen from both the pan and prd are fighting with each other  like drunken men. the prd for one is behaving like lil kids andres lopez obrador is been a lil kid who dont want to accept defeat, and is willing to do whatever it takes to take control of the country. teh prd wont recognize calderon as the real president. in other words the mexican goverment has become more of a joke  than it used to be. on the other hand we got the massive killing spree of law enforcment officials left and right from the golf coast of mexico to the nice pacific coast we got killings everyday, in tijuana has been the worst hit. drug cartels want to take control of the city. border cities are a chaos people are fleeing north to the states. the country is a mess as much as i love my native homeland i hate to say it but it has become a mess and a joke to the rest of the world. so what will become of it? mexico has had similar problems in the past and has survived.  true obrador has not accepted his defeat and the street talk is that he may have good reason. pri has a history of dirty politics and although i do not condone this, pri does provide stability which is much needed to invite investments.  i love mexico and have lived in the yucatan for ten years and will return soon.  it is very peaceful in the yucatan and the current violence in oaxaca and san cristobal does not reach the yucatan.  does it not seem odd to you that the pri won by only 1% of the vote and then refused to do a recount but only a partial recount? mexico is not a joke.  mexico has not invaded any other country.  mexico is not responsible for mass wars and mass destruction.  mexico in more ways than the us offers more individual freedom.  where i have lived and will again return it is peaceful, lovely and loving.  qualities which i have not found plentiful in the us during my current visit.  yes.  the cartels need to be stopped.  they are to be feared and their damage to mexico is extensive. i would not apologize for your native homeland.  i've been throughout most of mexico and have found the people generous in ways that most americans who have so much more materially would find unthinkable.
