Well, another cartel is rising in old Mexico. Ruthless, murderous drug dealers. And they may as well have declared war on the US and the youth of our country. Either you've read about these cartels and know about them or you don't care about them. Here's what I would do if I were president of this country. I would call the Mexican president and give him 6 months to wipe out the cartels----using/doing whatever it takes---or the US military will do the job. They are doing more damage to this country than Isis in an ongoing, continual war for money, regardless of the cost to anyone and everyone. One hears that most of the police are being paid by them and this just continues on and on. I know the "war on drugs" is also a big money maker for all concerned on THIS side of the border also. But-------how long is this going to last? Children dying from ODing on heroin, meth-heads stealing whatever is loose around ones property and grinding their teeth to nubs and carrying on in the streets. I see them all the time. Do you? I think that so many on destructive drugs is a symptom of a true dissolution of the social contract that we are supposed to have had with our legislators that had enabled so many to acquire a decent standard of living over the past decades. ---in other words--get yourself a trade--work diligently-save some bucks--maybe get a house of ones own --have a kid if that's what is so desired and voila--the American dream. I lived it--wasn't bad. The dream is almost gone in some ways and I believe that many youngins have just given up and 'aww fuck it' is what resonates with many. The fuckin' dolts that are running for office are a prime example of how low, shallow and disqualified they really are. Kind of another reason for the 'aww fuck it' attitude. It's much more complicated than I could ever post here, but some place has to be a starting point and I think that the elimination of cartels would be a place to start. And then move on to eliminating ( through elections) those in congress that impede PROGRESS towards making sure this country becomes a protector of ALL citizens once more, especially for the vast majority of folks that just want to live decent lives. (Money out of elections, eliminate Citizens United and ONE PERSON--ONE VOTE. And vote for Sanders )
