Gee, I just checked the stats which show Mexico at 5.0.  Where do you get your 22.7?

For you who have MexicoPhobia, here is a little fact to consider.  The homicide rate for Mexico is almost exactly the same as for the United States...just google homicide rates around the world and you will see.  Take away the cartel terrorism against each other then Mexico would be way safer than the US.   While you a...more

I just booked a cruise at these prices,  we were going to anyway but so glad to save so much money.  Thanks to the media and all the hysteria such as you will find on this comment section.  I am sure they are so ready to correct the problems so I am not worried.  Three days of sun and fun, good food and the wonderful s...more

In some ways I am glad that I could not afford to live out m...more
