Comments on: What the tourists miss in Mexico http://www.mexicoreporter.com/2008/01/16/what-the-tourists-miss/ Multi-media reporting from Mexico Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:58:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: pelón http://www.mexicoreporter.com/2008/01/16/what-the-tourists-miss/comment-page-1/#comment-60 pelón Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:43:28 +0000 http://mexicoreporter.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/what-the-tourists-miss/#comment-60 I wonder, if all drug cartel related murders were subtracted from the total would Mexico appear to be any worse that the US or even some western European countries. The DF has been surprisingly spared from the most extreme cartel related violence -- until recently. The federal government seems to be ineffectual. I have a lot of faith in this city and think we have no choice but to take matters into our own hands to stop the violence before it becomes the norm. I wish I knew how.

All the violence you mention here is sensationslized mass media. The average Mexican's life isn't touched by that hatred fuel. We are counting on you to keep up a stream of good press!
