1) I find the fact that so many government officials are involved in one of the biggest issues for Mexico interesting. I think it aids to many of the social issues because, if the police are trafficking drugs, then many people won't see the wrong in it. I wonder if the new President will do anything besides getting the army involved to settle things down and to get society's trust back?
2) I feel bad for the people of Mexico. They really have no security and cannot trust the people who are supposed to protect them. I have been to Puerto Vallarta and Juarez recently, and the families that live there are always hoping to make some money selling goods or pass the time by just talking to Americans attempting their language. I would go back, but I now know that the threat of drugs and kidnapping are real, and that you just need to be careful where you end up.
3) If I were living in Mexico, I would not live in fear for my life necessarily, but I would definately be aware of everything in my life. Who was around my house, and what they were doing. The police just worsen the situation because, even if something bad were to happen, I would be better off working it out myself instead of calling the police, which would just make more problems for my family.
