Why are Canadians still going to Mexico? The authorities there seem incapable of keeping the peace (and don't seem to want to) or of investigating crime with anything resembling credible competence

its a pity. i enjoyed my trip to mexico 10 years ago. i remember Hubby and i waiting for a bus on a nearly abanonded road as the sun set. surrounded by jungle as the only light we had slowly disappeared behind the carnivours infested trees. we finally accepted a ride from a taxi. we felt safe.
i'm wondering if the current situation is up there with the pitbull situation. it seemed that all of a sudden, there were pitubull attacks every day. my point being is that there were ALWAYS pitbull attacks, but the media just chose a certain few weeks to report them. Perhaps there have always been the odd tourist attack in Mexico, but now the media chose to report them to keep up the impression that this is a new dangerous phemonenon that will keep people watching the 6pm news.
It seems when one bad thing happens, the news suddenly seeks out all other possible incidences to report, like its a sudden craze of conspiricy against whatever fad danger engulfs the planet that particual month.
besides, there is always Cuba. its one of the safest countries in the world. hmm, wonder if that has anything to do with the lack of american influence?
