One of the first things "A fisherman" should learn is not to P into the wind.

So as not to be accused of deleting posts, both TR and NS edited several of their own posts to the point they were blank, empty posts.  Once emptied, they were deleted.

Good afternoon,

First I would like to say that I do not live in San Carlos (although I visit a lot) and I did not read the article.

I do live in the town that is known for the longest on going labor strike (2 years) and the largest single battle ( 30+ dead ) of mafia vs. the law.

I do not read newspaper articles about things in Mexico as I have found that reporting is bad and reporters don't have a clue.

I feel safer here than when I go to Phx on business (lived there for many years). I am the lone gringo in a town of 35,000 and have no thoughts of ever returning to the US.

If I can quote Bart, "My stance has never wavered-if you stay out of places and activities you would not tell your mother about, don't become a Mexican law enforcement officer or military member, and don't get involved in the drug trade you are more likely to be struck by lightning then involved in one of these incidents."

And finally, Mexico would not have a drug war if it weren't for the US consumption. The war between the dealers is for the routes not the customers.

Lighten up - you guys have totally gotten away from the original post. Webb sites,etc Don't know what difference that makes to the guys that make their living in S.C.

There's nothing to change what people think or fear . I'm a member of one that does his best to let people know that Mexico is safe. Who knows- maybe it isn't safe. But I love the place and  I figure if I can talk a few people into that S.C. is a paradise -which I believe it is-then I'm doing my part.

The most dangerous thing in San Carlos is getting caught in the middle of a message board brawl  ;)

Fact is, there would be no drug war over routes if the customer base was not so good in the US.  Many replies are variations on the usual " nothing is wrong or could possibly be wrong in america or with americans in gereral"  There is always someone else to blame of prosecute for the failings of our own society.

I understand that there are many countries in the Americas, but it is only the US that has the high drug demand and only the US that exports guns that cause trouble all over the Americas.  Once agin, I reiterate that the root cause of the problem is the lack of policing of US citizens themselves and laws that are too loose and laissez-faire at home.

You may not do the things that you mention, as the vast majority do not,  but your tone and writing is very immature.  How old are you?  I will not reply further to your comments as they are not measured or reasonable anough.

Please refrain from personal flame wars and let's stick to the issue.

From our FAQs page:

"We want to encourage an honest exchange of information but we ask all to play nicely. Flame wars, personal attacks or vendettas and profanity are not appreciated or desired. If you have a grudge or score to settle, hire a lawyer-don't put it here. You have the right to post - - you do not have the right to be a jerk."


Just posting as a friendly reminder.

Thanx
