Thank you, Oscar. I have always been interested in Mexican beauties. Hwever, the last time I was in Culiacan there were no shopping malls!

Well, if you ever go back, maybe you could help spread the word that women (and young men) don’t have to fall ino the drug trade to have a good life..

p.s. If there were no malls, it HAS been a long time since you’ve visited!

At the time of competition the contestants are talking about peace...but it is hard fact that no one do even try to do one percent of that.

Evil under the beautiful face!!

Evil under a beautiful face...

Perfect words..what is just as sad is the fact that she was a PRESCHOOL teacher as well....

Killer beauty queens....The worse thing about them is that they are often treated as the representatives of their countries.They often talk about Mother Teresa,Kiran Bedi in fashion shows but end us call girls, C-grade actors and models selling toothpastes and soaps!!

It no longer surprises us when we find them involved in flesh racket or for that matter in infamous deals.The disturbing thing about the whole affair is that they are often hailed as youth icons.They are the role models of our generation.

A labourer or news hawker never becomes our role model.However,people involved in skin show are given red-carpet welcome.

They are most definitly considered role models and are given a title to represent our countries to the world.

That is why, in my eyes, it is so very important that she be judged to the fullest extent of the law..She is NOT innocent in anyway and the State must make an example of the fact that beauty and youth does not guarentee innocence.

She has proven herself a traitor at the very least. Representing herself and our country all the while sleeping with the very enemy that is destroying us.

The woman beauty, can be the power.. but also can become the curse of them, if they can’t use it wisely, along with their good attitude..

The drug trade lures all kinds of people with its promise of easy money and God-like status. The narcocorrido ballads of northern Mexico glorify traffickers as Robin Hoods. Young children “dream” of growing up to become drug dealers.

I ask, ”What real dreams are available to a young pobrecito in Culiacan?” The true cause is the inequity of wealth in Mexico, the real lack of economic opportunity, and the frozen development that benefits a corrupt elite.

Mucho trabajo, poco dinero. Y con dinero baile perro.

The narcos are symptom not a cause of the problems in Mexico. Narcoculture reflects reality it is not the cause of these problems.

Dreams are available to pobrecitos in Culiacan the same as anywhere else in the world...

While I do agree there is great inequality amongst socioeconomic classes, it is NOT IMPOSSIBLE. I have witnessed myself what a dream can lead to regardless of class..

The narco culture did arise in Culiacan’s poorest areas, but that was then, this is now...Times have changed.

I could say at this moment, I do not earn near what I should. I aspire to be and receive more. I ”deserve” more for my work, diligence, and loyalty to my nation...Should I throw in the towel and cross the line?

We are far beyond excuses at the present. Of course money is in question, but isn’t it everywhere?

“Things have come to the point in our country that some young people, who aren’t stupid and know what they are doing, have proclaimed that they might live one, two or three years, but it does not matter because they do not want to continue living in the same hell, the same misery, the same abandonment,” the opposition leader said. “This forces us to reflect on the necessity of renovating public life in Mexico for all, and especially for the young people.” Lopez Obrador in Jalisco, Jan 23

Simply condemning narco culture is easy but will not have any effect. Mexico must find a better replacement, a real future of value for the youth of Mexico. That is the Impossible Dream that Mexico must create or narco culture will continue to flourish.

A quote from AMLO, Mexico’s ”legitimate President and leader of our legitimate government.”

I whole heartedly agree replacements and changes need to be made. We need better education, more employment opportunities and better pay...There is no denying that from me..In fact I don’t think anyone would deny that..

But this isn’t just about employment and earning what we are worth. Much of society has turned to looking for the easy way of earning.

Imagine having your wallet fat, driving fancy cars, vacationing when you like without ever having to study or enter the 9-5 grind. There are very few jobs that can offer the money and lifestyles these people have grown accostomed to.

Much of what you read now, people being arrested, are not from poor areas..Many are from decent families, were or are in exspensive universities, yet still enter the trade for the fast easy cash involved.

I am not saying we DON’T have a problem with socioeconomics here, but times HAVE changed...the drug business has become attractive to ALL types of people. Some do it out of necessity, some are forced ”plata or plomo” and some just do it out of GREED.
