Through a co-worker, I have access to a newsletter from the DEA that they put out regarding the narco-traffickers in Mexico and on into Guatemala, Honduras, and the rest of Central America. If I lived there, I'd send my kids out of there as fast as I could too. They are killing people by the dozens every week in every state in Mexico. The government has lost complete control and the citizens are arming themselves and forming their own vigilante groups to protect their towns. It is so out of control that the Mad Max reference is closer to the truth than you'd believe, only without the post-apocalyptic setting.
