Can’t wait for the bulletins suggesting we avoid many areas of our largest cities. Stay to the “nice” parts of the cities and you’ll be fine. The same is true of Mexico.

I wonder if the drug companies would try to sell on any newscast that listed the number of people that went into Kansas City or Chicago and did not get shot...

Maybe we should tell the Sun that there's a level 2 travel advisory for the UK as well.

People will hear what they want to hear. People still visit war torn countries in spite of the fact they know its dangerous. One persons idea of risk, is another person idea of fun. To each their own.

Nope you can't say that, politically incorrect you know.

Now I'm wondering if I should stop playing the Mega-Million lotto. I'm thinking that if I were to win, the danger would come to me, no matter where I happen to be. Would I become a prisoner in my own fortress? It's almost like I'm paying too much for a problem which will probably not happen in my lifetime.

That's why I don't go to California or Illinois. Dangerous country out there. There was a shooting in my hometown last evening. McAllen, Texas which is about ten miles from the border is one of the safest cities in the United States.

Nothing wrong with travel advisories and exercising caution when traveling abroad, but don't let the fearmongers here keep you from going to Mexico. BTW, almost 37 million Americans traveled to Mexico last year.

People back home ask me if I am seeing lots and lots of "Illegals" during my visit to South Texas. I ask them back, "How would I know?" The people down here act "normal" and don't carry signs announcing their history. A lot of fear and hate in the world today. I do see lots and lots of that everywhere I go.
