Just in time for the national walkout, back in the home country the Mexican Congress makes us all feel a whole lot better about our southerly neighbor’s contribution to law and order by handing Vicente Fox a bill decriminalizing the possession of drugs. Which drugs? All drugs. In what amounts? “Small” amounts — though the definition of smallness is as liberal as the rest of the bill.
Read it and weep:
“This law gives police and prosecutors better legal tools to combat drug crimes that do so much damage to our youth and children,” said Fox’s spokesman, Ruben Aguilar.
Better tools — like bent spoons and broken light bulbs. Fox
will sign. Junkies will multiply. Deaths will accumulate.
Mexico will rot.
