I don't suffer fools gladly.
Before coming to Japan I lived in Florida. Do you know how many people from Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic have drowned trying to get to America? Mexico is in bad shape, but it's a paradise compared to many other countries.
As for Texas, El Paso has the lowest violent crime rate of any American city. I asked a police officer why this was true, his answer was "because everyone has a gun". El Paso is separated from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, by the Rio Grande river. Violent crime has exploded there in recent years, Juarez has seen more than 900 murders so far in 2008, and there are still 3 months left in the year.
