Mexico Celebrates 200th Birthday

This should be a really special day. The two hundredth birthday of the country of Mexico. There should be wild celebrations going on all over Mexico.

But the narco violence, the governmental corruption, and the almost complete ineffectiveness of the police, military, and courts is what is being talked about. Celebrations have been officially canceled in many locations due to the violence and the inability of the government to protect the law abiding people.

Mexico has always had a problem with the caste system. The super-rich at the top did not have to obey almost any laws, and they blatantly ignored the suffering of the majority of Mexicans. In fact they even lied to themselves, convincing themselves that Mexico was an up and coming modern democracy. Ha! Right.

The country of Mexico has had revolutions before, and it may well be that another one is coming.
