The U.S. bears much responsibility for the drug war

Dear Sir,

I want to commend you for noting in your report on last week’s “anti-crime forum” that it included “no mention of extenuating circumstances such as the depressed U.S. economy, troubles in the real estate market there and alarming north-of-the-border media reports on Mexico’s war on the drug cartels.”


A reality check is in order.

Dear Sir,

I receive NYTimes headline news online each day.  In worldwide coverage, and national coverage,  they include only the highlights. Last Saturday, there was someone shooting random motorists in Hollywood,  there was murder run wild on the Virginia Tech campus, there was shooting in a Texas middle school, and at least two other headlines I’ve forgotten.  Just the highlights, not the everyday occurrences.

A marvelous accomplishment

Dear Sir,

I am writing to commend Lucille van Straaten for her highly successful Sterilization Campaign held in Chapala for three days last recently, under the auspices of The Ranch.

Share and be generous

Dear Sir,

I share the foreign community’s anger and outrage over the violent crimes that have occurred at lakeside in recent weeks. My condolences go out to the victims and their families.
