ACAPULCO - Ten people were shot dead when gunmen stormed into a nightclub and opened fire early Saturday in the Mexican resort town of Acapulco, police said.

On Tuesday, gunmen pursuing a rival killed six people, including two children, after opening fire on two family homes in Acapulco.

Earlier in March, authorities unearthed nine bodies in three areas near the beach town.

Nearly 35,000 people have been killed in Mexico's drug-related violence since the end of 2006 when President Felipe Calderon launched a military-led crackdown on the country's powerful drug cartels.

35. So if you disagree with a law then it's OK to break it even if one of the ripple effects
 is 36,000 deaths? I'm not saying a user is directly responsible but there is a connection.

Regardless of what the law is... if there was no demand for the product then there would be no need for production.

The reality is that there IS a law and to say that illegal drug use and 36,000 people killed since 2006 is OK because there would be no drug war IF drugs were legal... that is a self-serving rationalization.

DU would boycott in a heartbeat any product whose production resulted in torture and murder of 36,000 but since that would mean giving up whatever... well, party on dudes.

Then so many strawmen you could build a city out of the hay.

I like how the pot heads draw a clear distinction from themselves and the lowlifes who would use meth, heroin, crack, et al.

"Dude, we're not using dope, we're just getting high."  /DU dope smoker mode.

Remember Johnny, numbers and primitives don't go well together. The primitives have a hard time comprehending your concept.
