In the late 60's, there were two girls putting out in my class that had 70 or so kids in it. Nowadays there are probably only two girls in a class that aren't putting out and class sizes are probably 5 times what they were when I was in school.Quote:

Last numbers I heard for the running death toll in the border dope war is pretty close to what the US had killed in over 15 years of the SE Asia war games.
I have a number of good friends of Mexican and Salvadoran ancestry that have legally immigrated to the states. I also have "gringo" friends that own property in in and around San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. My American friends will NOT drive down there any more. My Mexican friends just don't go back to visit because it is too damn dangerous.
I live in N TX and the cartels do reach up here. So far the cartel violence in this area has been pretty much directed at each other.
As for the BS about the guns coming from the US, that is a load of crap for the most part (except for what our present regime provided in their FAST AND FURIOUS debacle). I say that because the full auto stuff those guys are using is bought on the underground market or from international arms suppliers willing to sell to anyone with the $$. Those dopers have the $$ to buy about anything their hearts desire and there is some HEAVY stuff running around down there (most of it from the Communist bloc or stolen/purchased from their own armies) that is simply NOT available through normal purchase here in the states.
