The spectacular nationwide response to the killing of another Mexican drug lord should be analyzed as the possibility of a class struggle response versus simply criminal activity coast to coast! The two nations will never end the cartels market until they reduce poverty.
Look at Canada, it is on the border with the US why doesn't it export large amounts of drugs because it's population is more prosperous and educated!
America will continue to use so much drugs because SO MANY AMERICANS ARE POOR and see little hope for progress.
