bennie Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 both govts are involved w/the drug business. (hope it is ok to say that). there is no drug "war" (a circus pony act). i think there is more profit w/drugs than telecommunications. but what do i know? i use vonage telephone service.

Three to four percent of Mexico's annual GDP comes from the drug trade. Over a half a million people are employed illegally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennie Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 there is more then this than meets the eye. @one time alcohol was ILLegal, drugs were LEGAL. it is all so ovious. personally i think the legal drug business is another big earner, especially in the USA. we cant fight city hall, just dont believe what you read. havnt seen the nytimes today.

maw7815 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Read "Night of the Assassin" by Russell Blake. This is a free kindle book on Amazon. There is a lot of information on the drug cartels in Mexico that is fascinating. Since reading this book I have read 7 other books he wrote. The author lives in Manzinillo. maw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennie Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 off topic, but the best books about mexcio are by john gilber. the drug business is all over central & south america, you cant single out mexico. (santnrose i think it is more than 4%). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
