<title>Cartel Fighters Make a Desperate Alliance (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is actually the reason Cartel Jalisco is now fighting Familia Michoacana and also the reason there have been so many car thefts and assaults on the highway from troncones to zihuatanejo.</p>
<p>Everyone please be very careful. I friend of mine got his car stolen and girlfriend groped. It was 5 cars stolen that day. This was 3 weeks ago. And now a family was attacked; the mother is dead and the child and huband in the hospital. If you dont believe me google assalto ixtapa or muere turista ixtapa.</p>
<p>Zihuatanejo and ixtapa are relatively safe but dont wander to far away.</p>

<title>The War On… (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think the leaders of the “Disciples of Christ” denomination in which Reagan was raised or the Presbyterian Church through which Reagan professed his Christian beliefs could give you a better response than me.</p>
<p>Perhaps Reagan’s religious commitment was similar to that of a prominent Canadian. I once asked my clergyman father, “<em>Did you know that Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx is a Pentecostal?</em>”</p>
<p>My father’s satirical reply was, “<em>The Pentecostal Church is the one he chooses to <strong>not</strong> attend</em>.” <img src="images/smilies/wink.gif" alt=";-)" title="wink" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Just  wait, the  wealth is  gonna  trickle  down.  Pennies from Heaven.<br />

</blockquote><p>Maybe Reagan didn’t make it to Heaven to sprinkle the pennies. Perhaps his Trump-like behaviour caught up to him.</p>
<p><a href="https://valeriewritenow.com/2016/01/26/my-book-bag-killing-reagan/"><em>Killing Reagan</em></a></p>
<p><em>I was saddened to read that Reagan was not a moral man, having had multiple relationships between his marriages. I was shocked to read that Reagan impregnated Nancy before marriage, and that his children were neglected by both sets of parents (Reagan and Wyman and Reagan and Davis).</em></p>
<p><em>Reagan was a fornicator in between marriages, and an adulterer in his second marriage.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>America had a “War On Poverty”.  Look around. Poverty won. </p>
</blockquote><p>Poverty exists not because we cannot afford to feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich. </p>
<p>Ah, before anyone cries, &quot;Socialist!&quot; please know that I am stockbroker. I believe strongly in capitalism. However, nothing we humans have ever created has been perfect and that includes capitalism. As in the first Guilded Age, the pendulum has swung far too much in favor of the upper class, in my humble opinion. The trick is to get us back toward the center where entrepreneurship is still rewarded but the power of their subsequent immense resources is kept in check. Don't hold your breath for that to happen anytime soon.</p>

<p>Absolutely. A  lot of people (including former DEA warriors like  Michael Levine) have since written about how Nixon, by constructing a Drug War, immortalized the conflict, rather than  end the problem. And then  there's  lunatic propagandist Harry Anslinger. Oy  vey.</p>

</blockquote><p>Violent criminal organizations are the predictable response to banning substances used by over 40 million U.S. citizens alone, and millions of others worldwide. It's almost as if the governments WANT them to exist just to have an excuse for all those jobs and multi-million dollar budgets dedicated to &quot;fighting&quot; them. What a joke!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Odd that  they say &quot;Cartel fighters.&quot;  Makes it  sounds like the  DEA or some entity  that  fights against these  guys is making the alliance. Not that the DEA  hasn't indulged in a little cocaine trafficking over the  years  a la Dark Alliance.</p>
