Every time I talk to my mother on the phone . I patiently repeat that while the drug wars are a terrible thing, they don't affect me here in Mexico City. I hope that someday soon this information will finally sink in!
You make an interesting point that folks living in DF aren't affected by the drug war. With all due respect, I think that many who live in Mexico do not take such a parochial view. Actually, as far as day to day safety for residents is concerned, the fear of drug shootouts is a bit far down the totem pole. La Inseguridad is the most pressing issue for most respondents to polls and surveys. For them the threat of kidnapping and extortion is what concerns them the most and, I would argue, this phenomenon is ubiquitous throughout the Republic. In this respect, I would argue that it is not a myth to say that "no place in Mexico is safe".
