An aware traveler is a lot less sad than a traveler made aware of the REALITY of how things work down here. What I responded to is not to compete in a contest to see how best to hoodwink an innocent traveler. Neither one of the above posters has spent time either in a comandancia or a prison dealing with an unfortunate American who learns to his shock that what he was told turned out to be Jack In The Beanstalk ESTERICO.
It is EASY to educate with hard and brutal facts. Wishy-Washy half-truths only serve to damage innocent people who tried their best to stay out of harm's way only to learn the information they relied on was pure garbage.
qtla 9111, and mexicoruss, do something useful and offer to help folks in trouble. Try to educate even if it means turning the other cheek when it comes to de-bunking fallacies.
I was PREPARED to deal with cops on either shoulder when I exited the Seguro Social Hospital. For the life of me, unfortunates who return to the USA with true stories of shocking reality are difficult to counter.
I was PREPARED to threaten lazy USA Surplus Line Brokers with publicly exposure unless they got off their fat --- and dug up their claims adjuster so that a fully insured driver would avoid spending time in jail.
Slip on a NO BAD DAYS tee shirt and pretend reality does not exist. I prefer to lend credence to the fact that hookah grade nightmare BS is fully avoidable. In order to make the point I have to deal with reality. Call things like they really are and not how "They Should Be" This place is NOT the USA. Got it? I didn't think so...
