Assignment one O'Brien

1) The parts about Mexican culture that I find interesting is that they seem to do anything for money and their culture is very corrupt. However, on the flip side I see that their culture is also in recognition of these problems and the people are wanting to act on it. One question I have though however, is why do they cross our border and run away from problems. Its obvious as can be that they do (no offense) and that they don't fight their government for the their liberties and fight murder and corruption?

2) My view of Mexico is now slightly different, I knew they had problems, but to know that their police may be kidnappers and murderers...I think that their government is not running any what of a free country and is beginning to sound like a fascist. I matter of ever going to Mexico, I would say that chance is ruined and gone. If I cant trust the Federal government with my safety and suspicion of their stance on justice is on trial by the country. I would never go somewhere as unsafe as Mexico for it.

3) When I think about this article and lifestyle from a Mexican citizens point of view I would indeed live in fear, but the thing is thats the point of criminal, fascist, and terrorist acts...fear. I would stand up for myself and so should the citizens, I think it is time for a revolution or something in their country to show the government that the people have all the power. I believe that to contrast how America responded to 9/11. Americans went to war for this and we are winning and being very successful in restoring peace and spreading democracy.
