Big Time Agreement

Zihuatanejo, is SAFE, period.

Many Americans are all screwed-up. They fantasize about getting caught in a Pancho Villa grade shootout when they should be paying attention to what lies a few feet ahead or a speeding car that is not going to even slow down for someone in a crosswalk. Careless pedestrians slice open a forehead on a protruding awning, increase chances of melanoma by frying their skin to a 2nd degree sunburn, twist ankles and break bones then drink enough ethyl alcohol to scar their liver permanently.

Yet they fixate on night-time shootings and reports of wilderness army/cartel shootouts. Then men and women who crossed the American plains in wagons loaded with every possession they owned, without doctors, with hostile natives are looking down and sadly shaking their head. What has America (or Canada) become? Nations of people afraid of their own shadow and willing to give up last vestiges of civil rights and liberties in pursuit of "security".

They surrendered the two and have never had the latter (and never will).

Mexico is a real, living, breathing society, not a gun-nite encrusted hundred-dollar-a-day fantasy Disneyland. Just like your home town is genuine - with shootings, and armed robbery "somewhere else than where I live".
