| I'm from Mexico City, which is located in Mexico (stating the obvious is an specialty of mine). As you may know we are fighting a "war against organized crime" which is at a stalemate, since most of the government is the organized crime (you know corrupt politicians and bureaucrats), election year is coming (2012) and since this a three-party system country, parties struggle for power not for people. It is known fact that almost all our former presidents and people of importance either continue ruling from the shadows or flee the country. An anime could be made about this. . . |
