BorderTown

Now I like to watch a reality TV show called Bordertown Laredo. It is about the drug cops in Laredo TX busting the drug smugglers and drug dealers. I mainly watch the show because it has some good action and it has a lot of espanol with subtitles so it helps me practice what I have learned. Anyways........talk about your BS anti Mexico, anti Cartel propaganda. It would seem that about every 30 seconds one of the cops is talking about how all the trouble is due to Mexico and "their" cartels.

Now I would love to see them make a Mexican version called Bordertown Nuevo Laredo where it is all about the Mexican cops busting the gun smugglers and gun dealers while blaming all the trouble on the US and their insatiable appetite for illegal drugs. Now that would make for some great TV. Someone should pitch a Mexican network with the idea.

Agreed. No one seems to be talking about the gun smuggling and the insatiable appetite for illegal drugs.....I feel a certain amount of shame about the U.S.....especially when I am in Mexico.

You can't run a successful hohouse without the Johns. And my oh my, does the U.S.A. have a plethora of Johnnies! It probably snows in the halls of Congress as well as in the corner offices of corporate America.

However, I think we need to remember that both countries are riddled with corruption, of many flavors.

C.B. here's a very interesting series which you can watch online. Very thought provoking. Breaking Bad.

I have seen all the Breaking Bad episodes. Awesome show. This season just ended and I hear they are coming back with one more season next year.

Great news. Can't wait to see the new one.

You guys might also like "Justified"...set in Kentucky. Season 2 is just finished and season 3 is a go.

On a totally different kind of show, if you haven't seen "The Borgias" then you might want to. Season 1 is finished and am waiting for season 2. Historical in the manner of "The Tudors" but more intrigue.
