    light reading ?
    That's too long just to read the titles
    The article that caught my eye was the mexican green foresting . . .
    over a ¼million of the cartel's violent, out-of-control, gruesome murders (never mind sex trade/kidnapping) happened in the past decade, to the point that there are more deaths than the Middle East & Afghan Wars combined. Over 33k last year alone. Jeez, that's like starting smog regulations after Pearl Harbor gets bombed.
