I read this on another message board. Does anyone know if these numbers are correct???
--Mexico, a country of 105 million people has 7,000 murders in a year fighting a drug war. The U.S. with 350 million people has 35, 000 murder in a year and is not fighting a drug war. We ARE fighting a drug war up here - in the US. Most of our deaths are drug or alcohol related. Turf wars in cities and criminal activities are related to theft for money to buy drugs.--
