This is beyond sad to me. The courage of this woman should make people want to take up the fight but, how can they when they know they and/or their loved ones will probably die as a result. I wish I could honor her memory in a better way.

God speed, Dr. Maria.......
I will say a prayer for her. Mexico lost a good lady.

One of these days there is going to come an accounting and I believe if the mess crosses over into this Nation too much it would be within our rights to go take out the trash, it may well become an issue of National Security.

Yes, "small government". Small government is weak government, and weak governments allow the criminal element to survive and thrive to the levels seen in Mexico.

Ok...? I wasn't specifically talking about the US government, so

No. Getting yourself killed is.

I vehemently disagree with what ISIS is doing but I'm not going to put myself into a position that is likely going to get me killed trying to get my point across.

Of course it is a crap situation but I was specifically in awe of this woman stepping up to the plate. I guess she got fed up. I am sorry.

Casper in Dallas, you understood my posting this. Thanks.

I look at what this lady was doing like I look at Pickett's Charge. It was foolhardy beyond belief but, it was magnificient in it's own way......
