Mexico, it seems to me, is in a serious recession. Crime appears to be driven by poverty, the recession, and widespread meth abuse, and has increased steadily and very substantially in the last 2 years.

I love rural Baja because, IMO, it is "wide open" and very free compared to the US - but I worry that these scumbag meth freak criminals are going to ruin this beautiful place, and cause it to turn into a pseudo-authoritarian police state similar to what the US has become under Bu*h.
