the importance of knowing how much poverty hurts people

Ih find it amazing that when we, the people, the press, the US, Mexico, whomever, discuss the problem of narco violence, we never talk about the abusive backgroudns of poverty from which many of these narcos come. Actually, I would like to indicate that in various articles here in Mexico, there is a reference to the fact that the real common denominator to this problem is poverty.
I believe that many people would not go into this mafia- like world if there were other means to gain any kind of living. If Mexico were only to raise the standard a little bit, things might be different! An excellent article indicated that a woman might not support the mafia- like narco people if she could just earn like 4 dollars more a day!!! Buut the US govenrmetn chooses to spend millions on military efforts. Come on. We allknow ht eproblem is poverty, not narco criminals who jsut need to be stopped once. I mean, and then the enxt time? Adnthe next user willg et another peoson to buy from adnthe chain never stops? Who is both the Us and Mexican governemtn kidding wiht this way of handling the problem? It only creates fear among everyoen to see soldiers roaming around allthe tiem now. It sucks to be honest. The difference between living and just surviving. There are so so many problems here in Mexico, However, with the right attitude, and the willingness, they can be addressed. I am sure the people are willing. And perhaps if the narcos have achieved anything, it is to exacerbate a problem that people have been aware of here for years. Decades. Forever.
But like so many things, we as people don´t do anything about a problem until a crisis occurs. Then it is is like, WEll, we HAVE to come up with some solution. And magically, as human beings, we do come up with solutions. WE have to find a solution to the poverty here.
I will write diligently until I get out all of the observations I have made. And I hope people read my blog. I hope people care to open their minds. This is the only solution. Remaining as we are has only led to this atrophy, this horrible infectious nauseating poverty that makes people animals. It makes me writhe in pain as a fellow human being that shares this planet with them!! I cannot believe sometimes some of the things I see people tolerate here! It would break your hearts.! But I will write about it. I will write until I cannot write any more and then I will write some more because we simply have to realize where these problems are coming from. These people are not caring to treat others as humans, because their society tolerates the mistreatment of many many of their citizens. The soluton is not on the shoulders of these narcos, but on us, on the people who haven´t had so much poverty we can´t even think, we can only react. So let us be mature, let us be calculating, let us be reasonable.
