Day 33: Hope my Mom doesn't read this article

Disturbing article published in the NY Times today:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/17/world/americas/17mexico.html?hp
Not to worry...our Ferrari is in the shop.

It's also peculiar to note that on the same e-version of the paper, there's a Frugal Traveler Video covering the Mexican region of Chiapas. Are the editors insane? It's a bit Jeckyl & Hyde to say that Mexico is a crime ridden den of violence, then to promote vacationing about a 1/2 page later. What they have left out is how Mexico City is a financial and cultural hub of the Americas. And to say there is no crime in the Zapatista ridden region of Chiapas? A tad hipocritical, I think. Drug cartels vs. rebel forces....kinda like apples and oranges. Who was the genius that sent this one to the e-press?
