THE HUMAN PARTY

drug policy and violence in mexico

Having lived in Thailand for three months just before the recent violence broke out, I am deeply saddened by what has transpired there these last few weeks. Every day now, I receive messages from the American Consulate warning me of government-imposed curfews and informing me of the danger of being shot or blown up in what I knew as peaceful, vibrant neighborhoods just a few months ago.
