#1 Yeah, 'shelter in place' and 'hiding' is like seat belts. Recovery teams know where to find the bodies.

#5 Cancun is a big tourist destination. Tourists mean money. You don't want to break that!

#6 Steve - I agree. I would have thought the hotel owners and others involved in the tourist trade would have made "arrangements" to protect them from this sort of thing.

#8 It's a shame about Mexico. They have some very attractive destinations. But I ain't going.

I think it's as much our fault as it is theirs. Our phony "War on Drugs" should have been for real and the border should have been secured. But, with that much money at stake, I guess it was too much to expect from our politicians.
