Mexico Navy yesterday gunned down a notorious drug dealer Mexican called El Jefe de Jefes. Immediately, the president of Mexico did the best he can do: use television to show off the event. Presented pictures and photographs of bullet-riddled drug and melodramatic excess, put together a picture of narco naked, covered in large denominations bleeding.
is true that a drug dealer is acting with extreme violence. Who beheads his victims. That their violence exceeds the death of their enemies. That is undeniable. But there is little difference between the actions of a drug and acts of Calderón: the government, any government, should try to be fair. Give some balance to the disaster, not behave like what we intended. The image of the body bathed in blood tickets puts the government at the same level of barbarity that drug traffickers and prevents - even more - to have authority in a society that certainly input clean elections with which Calderón took office. Symbolic violence was the most important weapon used to gain Calderón government of Mexico ("Lopez Obrador is a danger to Mexico" ). Now, to stay in power, continue to use it. but coupled with physical violence.
's no pleas have served the public to stop the massacres and the futile war on drugs. After all, Calderon is the same as the murdered capo: a boss of bosses.
The photograph was taken from the article "Under bloody tickets "the daily El Pais ...

The truth is that 2009 was for many Mexicans a year of tragedy:
children who died or were injured in the fire of Hermosillo, the innocent victims of the "drug war", thousands of unemployed, family missing women in Ciudad Juarez victims of kidnappings and the thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans trying to go to America to work.

The fat people are disgusting beings as the Mexican government
It's half past seven on the bus and see a guy who is thoughtful, taking liquid from a bottle of Coca-Cola. A Coca-Cola a pint at half past seven ... the subject reminds me of the ads the government is taking on TV about obesity: in order to prevent diabetes, the Mexican Social Security Institute is conducting a media campaign aimed derision of people who are obese. The end justifies the means, say the classics and that, in advertising the program PREVENIMSS obese people are shown as filthy and unconscious beings deserve to be victims of teasing and ridicule by irresponsible to jeopardize their health.
This campaign, from my point of view, is not only cruel, it is hypocritical: It is true that much of what is obese people irresponsibility, but it is also true that being overweight in Mexico is bolstered because, in our eating habits are too much soda and flour. And in this economic situation is a factor since the soda bread and fill the stomach of many people with few resources. But above all, the campaign is hypocritical PREVENIMS : If the government really wanted to fight fat, not make fun of people who have it, nor make a mockery of them (as seen in the videos below left) but would implement a health policy that results in a change in eating habits. For example, do as do schools basic and upper basic in America: ban the consumption of junk foods not only in their cafeterias, but in any school facility. In other words, the Pan Bimbo, Coca-cola Sabritas and would be out of school and its surroundings. And children, when in contact with different food, they would stop eating all those foods over a day it could cause a heart attack or diabetes. But "Oh no!", The above companies supported the current ruler of Mexico when he was running for president, because of which only dreams combat the problem of obesity in the roots: changing eating habits from childhood. In the end, as they have since Vicente Fox, the PAN government actions are like their media campaigns: to assume that something is done (surface) without doing anything in the roots. I better go for a nice cold coca ...
