La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for August 05, 2015

No amount of money would induce me to house that murderous monster, no matter what his folk-hero status might be. Seriously, he’s a pestilent scourge on Mexican society. I have other things to say about him, but they’re unprintable here.

for $10 million I have a spare two bedroom house, I’ll be out of the country anyway. I hear Switzerland is nice this time of year. I like to stay close to my money..

El Chapo should call Rafael Cruz.

No no Cuca, don’t do it! Don’t Even consider it. you have a place to live, I think you are legal, and that could ruin it all!

I would modify that to be legality with regulation. There’s some potent stuff out there that often proves deadly. And that’s not even counting all the adulterated stuff. So, just like other ingestibles (food, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, etc.), “street” drugs should be under constant scrutiny.

Mexico has a habit of making national hero out of the wost of the country. Pancho joined Obregon and Carranza in an attempt to take over the central government for them self.

Soon multiple armies were fighting each other for multiple cause. The best known was between Carranza and Pancho Villa. It was soon apparent that Carranza had a better change of winning and providing Mexico some semblance of a government so the USA backed Carranza.

After years of fighting and the loss of 10s of thousands of lives, Pancho Villa sold out to the government in exchange for a large ranch, cattle, horse, women, a car with chauffeur and a large annal income.

He lived a life of wealth and luxury (which he calmed to be fighting against)until some on assassinated him,

Now he is a national hero.

White Americans do the same thing. Billy the kid, Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde. I think there is a universal love of the “bad boys” especially if they came from the lower or middle class.

If heroine was used as much as alcohol or tobacco and was unregulated, I’d wager that it would kill just as many people, if not more. So I’d say at least as regulated as alcohol. As far as tobacco goes, I’d love to see people eventually just give it up altogether except for ceremonial use. But doing it through education and taking measures to keep second- and third-hand smoke out of other folks’ lungs makes more sense to me than banning it outright.
