Thanks for writing, I'll quote you often. If you can believe it, I wrote this post more than a year and a half ago, even before the swine flu nonsense. It's just more of the same, media driven crap.

I live in Mexico, born and raised in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and at least where I live things are not falling apart. I go to school everyday, I work on weekends and sometimes afterschool in my dad's sewing workshop, I do my homework, and I hang out with my friends on weekends. Besides, Tequila is great down here, girls are pretty (miss universe is from my city... it's unbelievable but you can see girls like her anywhere you go, even in the "poorest" parts of the town... (not saying they're all like her though) So... if a foreigner happened to asked me how does it feel to live in a failed state, I'd say, only after I had stopped laughing, that I don't really mind it... Of course we have to addmit that there are places where things are going worse, and that my life has had subbtle changes scince the govermment finally started figthing durg dealers... but I wouldn't dare to say Mexico is a failed state. Nop. Those "changes" in my daily life are not so drammatic, I've even thought they are basic security measures everyone everywhere should adopt. Anyway, I must say that Zacatecas is, right now, somewhere I wouldn't go... I don't like Tijuana niether...
