BBC News - Mexico avocado price sparks fears of unrest

It would appear that the combination of Mexico's drug cartels and American gringos' love of avocados presents a great opportunity for California, IMHO ... time to plant more trees and reap the rewards ... price is going up ... get in on the ground floor now ... this could replace real estate fraud as opportunity, if you all hurry

I vote for bulldozing Orange County and putting back the citrus groves and strawberry fields, "forever."

Remember the line from the movie "The Graduate"? ... where Dustin Hoffman is being advised to go into "plastics"? ... We're back to agriculture as the future today ... they're proving it with avocados ... it's being proven up in Humbolt, too. -- Citrus? Perhaps. Can you smoke it? I am big on avocados.

I think Mexican aquacates suck compared to the Haas variety developed right here in the good ole California.

Thanks Rudolph!
