This article is about crime on the coast in northern Mexico against
Americans and other foreigners. Was wondering if the cruising grounds of
Mexico has any of these problems. Anyone been there that can shed a
little light?

Is this still a problem? I thought Mexico sent most of its criminals into
the US across the Swiss cheeze border?

Mexico lives on it's tourist trade. You as a Gringo may get smaller
meals, crappy service, and be way over charge for everything. You will
have to pass out money to every person wearing a uniform but it's not
quite criminal, it the way things are done.

Just visited Isla Mujeres, Cancun, and skirted the whole east coast.

Fuel is cheap..but not even the Mexican customs will accept Mexican
Peso's, they want US greenbacks. Bring 20 copies of everything!!!!!!

Yes, the Mexicans have a strange way of doing things. I have being
there several times but after all it's their country and since we took
half of it during the Mexican American war, they feel very particular
about the way we think we should have special treatment because we are
"AMERICANS". We took half their country, the same way Saddam Hussein
took Kuwait, the only difference is that there was no third country to
push us back! Read our history.

"By the time President Polk came to office in 1845, an idea called
"Manifest Destiny" had taken root among the American people, and the
new occupant of the White House was a firm believer in the idea of
expansion. The belief that the U.S. basically had a God-given right to
occupy and "civilize" the whole continent gained favor as more and
more Americans settled the western lands"

Unfortunately, little has changed, except maybe to expand the idea. Now
the US has a God-given mandate to "democratize" the planet.

Sorry, but though I may disagree with many/most "US" mandates, the few
times that un-representative (the US is a republic, not a democracy)
governments have advanced individual initiative are all due to the
despot being a "really good guy": less interested in accumulating
personal power and money than actually advancing the rest of the
country. They might have been more comfortable in established republics.

You mean "democratize the parts with oil", do you not?

We have a morality driven mandate to bring democracy (democratic
governments have never warred against each other) to those countries
creating a great deal of trouble to their neighbors and the rest of the
world.
