Mexico Slammed again: First Narcos, then Swine flu, now likely Earthquake happening now |
|
Edited on Mon Apr-27-09 12:00 PM by SuperTrouper
It looks like our neighbor from the SOuth is getting slammed again. First, the narcos causing a major upheaval in the country as Felipe Calderon's government declared war on the narcos bringing the country close to political collapse...then the Swine flu, a chimera of pig-bird and human virus killing close to 150 people so far, and now a powerful earthquake happening right now in Mexico City...just breaking on MSNBC.

1. If life were fair, the earthquake would swallow all the murderous drug thugs |
|
and spare the regular citizenry. But that only happens in fantasy-fiction....

2. I know, the quake probably will destroy the homes |
|
of the poor people living outside Mexico City like Iztapalapa. What bad luck for Mexico... :(

3. Just one correction, that is NOT outside Mexico City |
|
and yes I know people who live there
It is actually one of the districts of the city, like Miguel Hidalgo
