Día de las ElecZIHones Nacionales

I think we will see an eco-friendly Jewish female PhD elected in the next hours. Maybe the waste management issues in Zihua will be given higher priority.

Although certainly of a high importance, my personal wish is that somehow the Mexican government starts to chip away at the level of violence. I believe the majority of Mexican citizens agree with this endeavor. A first task would be legalize marijuana at the Federal level. It would send a strong message to Washington and the rest of those who stubbornly hold onto the tragic myth that is the War On Drugs. And before any of you throw up your hands and exclaim, "But that won't stop the cartels," please know that I agree with you. It will take decades to marginalize the cartels. Nevertheless, we have to start somewhere. You got any better ideas other than the oft-quoted GOPutin Party threat of authorizing the U.S. military to invade northern Mexico to take out the cartels?

In any event, we wish the new female Mexican Presidenta the best of luck and success in her six-year term! Viva Mexico!
