Vampier, its a vicious cycle... A woman in Mexico is most likely too scared to not raise her son to be "in charge" . To give you an idea of how socialist that culture is,.. those mothers bear and raise their kids with the expectation that the kids will support them later . There are some lazy-assed men and women in that country, whose goal is to have as many kids as possible and build a little empire off of them...
I could go on...But, if its ever gonna change, it will probably be by way of the civil war that's happening right now.
Now here is a disturbing and scary thought... Is it possible, that maybe...the cartels "arent" the bad guys" in all of this mess... Is it possible that these are a group of rebels , who finally had enough of the Mexican status quo, and simply took matters into their own hands?
I know that if I wanted to take opver a country, I'd have to fund it with drugs...and while i was at it, I'd counter and defy every established institution in Mexico, to weaken the morale of the populus, in order to incite a revolution by the people... Simply drive them into the ground until they find their breaking point...
