What a load of BS...the author of this peace my like to smoke the stuff else, it makes no sense to legalize anything. In Colombia, Plan Colombia has managed to reduce the fly-line from the eastern coastal lines to now the northwestern side of the country (this is Chavez land)...significantly reducing the king pins ability to get the drugs out of Colombia. A Plan Mexico is in here some where but the lay of the land and the Mexican Govt will make it more difficult. Mexico will have to fall even further on its knees (while the US people will need to weary more of the over embankment of the drug affects...ie public shootings, murders and kidnapping on the US side as a result) before a Plan Mexico is bought into. Either way legalizing drugs in this country isn’t the right choice! “Legalize” drugs?

Drug violence in Mexico kills an up and coming community leader from El Monte, California. Right now people are saying that this was a random act of violence, but it will be interesting to see what the investigations reveal in coming days. I do believe that as violence escalates and is perpetuated that there will be more serious consideration of legalizing certain “drugs” like we are seeing in California with marijuana right now, as a case can be made for reducing violence and increasing tax revenue. ===================== I hope that is not the extent of what you think will help this growing problem. 3.
