Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.

I guess I never caught that bug where you’re only supposed to care about your own country or your own local area. To me, 49 decapitated Mexicans is just as bad as 49 decapitated Americans and I know if there were 49 decapitated Americans in the street anywhere in the country, it would be like 9/11 all over again. It would be the largest news story for years - if it just happened once - but it happens time and time again in Mexico… and I guess as long as Americans aren’t getting decapitated, apparently the rest of the country, and especially our media, couldn’t give a damn and that’s part of what’s sick and wrong with this country’s media. And so, we march on as if nothing is wrong, as if everything is hunky dory, as if the war on drugs makes sense and hasn’t created these grotesque gangs that grow larger and more grotesque by the day - and it’s not because of the drugs. It’s because the drugs are illegal.

It’s so amazing to finally hear someone say this. People being brutally, violently killed in Mexico is just as much of a Problem as it would be if it were happening here in America.

Ending the War on Drugs and legalizing marijuana wouldn’t fix all of Mexico’s problems, but it’d go a long way towards decreasing gang violence and drug cartel crime.
