  I'm a Mexican citizen, living in Mexico, and from these postings one reality is very clear to me, one that every other person outside the US knows, that no matter how long and how hard the war against drug traffickers outside the US is carried on, as long as demand and consumption for these drugs is not put into perspective by the American people, each and every drug related death of a law enforcement agent, in any part of the world is completely useless.
  
  We in Mexico are experiencing a war now, unlike any Americans have known on their streets, one that is claiming an average of 20 lives a day, and is disrupting the lives of every single law respecting person in Mexico, and knowing full well that this is caused in great part by the international drug cartels teeming up with local cartels to smuggle the drugs to the US. It???s very easy to criticize the Mexican government however corrupt it may be, for not making enough efforts to stop the traffickers before they get the drugs across the border, with the incredibly enormous costs, both human and economic, that it takes, and then see the US senators debate on putting their money where their mouth is??? footing a part of the bill thru the proposed ???plan merida???, which could help in a large part to equip Mexican forces against the drug cartels. It makes me wonder what would happen in the US if Mexican authorities simply take a more laid back approach to these drugs, like its been proposed on this blog, and not engage drug traffickers on their activities towards the US??? it would be very likely that the war we are know fighting would be transferred to your front yard???and believe me it is not a pretty picture, for your own sake take responsibility for your drug problems as we are trying to take care of our own.

  Actually, THE RAVEN IS in reference to Edgar Allan Poe's Poem, "THE RAVEN". My favorite poem, by the way. No, my skin isn't thin, whitey. But YOURS must be. Why else would you be so bent out of shape when the issue of you rednecks and drugs are bought to the fore-front? Of course, EVERYTHING regarding black people and white people concerns race. What planet have your white A$$ been living on all your life? And MY racism isn't "pent up", either--I have no problem releasing it, whitey!
  You crackers are just bugging because the drug offenders are honkies! And if the faces were black, you racist red necks would be spewing all kinds of racist $hit about black people,black men, black women, and the entire "black community"--so shut your dumbass mouth!
  And by the way, stupid-- Poe's middle name does not have an "E" any where in it. So it's obvious your ignorant pale face knows nothing about Poe, "THE RAVEN", or anything else you've just posted.
  
  Why is it that when a black person tells you white people how racist you are, or points out your other many vile, genetic flaws--the black person MUST be angry? What's the connection--whitey? Does it REALLY bother you crackers to accept the fact that BLACK PEOPLE DON'T LOVE YOU?

  Burdened by the cost of the highest rate of per-capita incarceration in the world, many States & the Federal government are in the process of releasing large numbers of drug abusers & drug dealers from prison early in order to save money.
  
  The result of course, is that drug abuser will be allowed to return to the streets to resume the criminal activities, (at a cost to countless innocents) that put them in prison in the first place. Many of these people pass on their drugs to others (often children,) who would not ordinarily be inclined to use drugs, and often steal from innocent others in order to feed their habit.
  
  And drug dealers will always find new clients to resume & increase their trade.
  
  This new policy among the States & Federal government to release these people back onto the streets early will increase the drug & crime problem in the US in a big way.
