No Fun in The Sun

Not liking hot weather I have never seen the attraction of visiting some hot place for "fun in the sun". In today's Globe is a story of a web site, dontvisitmexico.com, devoted to warning people away from what Krusty the Klown calls happiest place on earth, Tijauna and its country. But then Mexico has long had a well deserved reputation for lawlessness, either from peasants revolting or lords repressing as this "documentary" footage shows.

For more insight to the rigid societies of Latin America and way their cultural and legal traditions encourage banditry and corruption read some of the works of Hernando de Soto.
