Apparently you recorded this podcast before the A/H1N1 influenza outbreak of last week.

They should just legalize marijuana in the states, that'll calm things down a little and stimulate the economy.  Not to mention all the tax revenue earned so we can keep our wars going on.  And the ever expanding empire afloat.  Troops in 130 out of 195 countries only 65 more to go (give or take a few).

Mexico is going through a rough patch, the war against drugs and now the influenza outbreak. It is a pity, I hope it can be regulated and people understand that they need all preventive measures. Hopefully it will get better!

In my opinion, the drug users in the USA are the problem.  Without such demand there will not be supply.  If there was less demand there will be less violence wherever the trafficking starts.

The flu... hopefully it will pass soon with all the medical knowledge we have.

 

 


(please correct if possible)

 

En mi opinión, los usarios de drogas en EEUU son el problema.  Sin demanda, no habría oferta.  Si había menos demanda habría menos violencia dondequiera los comienzos de trafico de drogas.

La gripe... ojalá pasará pronto con todo el conocimiento médico que tenemos.

dtang, thanks for those great comments.

Correction:

En mi opinión, los consumidores de drogas en EEUU son el problema.  Sin demanda, no habría oferta.  Si hubiera menos demanda habría menos violencia donde sea que comience el trafico de drogas.

La gripe... ojalá pase pronto con todo el conocimiento médico que tenemos.
