A post from Mexico City columnist Jeremy Schwartz:
"Here’s yet another reason (and perhaps the most graphic) why Mexico City residents have a deep mistrust of police: according to the city’s attorney general’s office, 80 percent of the reported kidnappings in recent months occurred at the hands of criminal bands dressed as law enforcement agents" continued at Uncovering Mexico, posted July 2

Hi there, I just read your blog entry, but could not seem to leave a direct comment.
I do live in Mexico City, and want to say that it is the best place I've ever lived (the
other places have been New Hampshire, New York City and San Miguel de Allende
for 10 years). If you base your life on random reports from newspapers you will
be in big trouble--you probably wouldn't be in Mexico at all! While Mexico City
has its share of urban problems, that is not the whole story by any means.
Have you been here yet? You might be surprised.

Hi, Jim - I spent quite a lot of time in Mexico City in 1967 and I loved it! I was with two other gringas and we had a great time, felt safe even though sometimes when we went walking we'd look behind us and see a dozen muchachos following us. They said they just wanted to "practice their English." 8D Nowadays I don't do well in big cities in general. I don't do well in smoggy cities because I have a lung condition. And I don't like the idea of not being able to trust the police, even though I'm probably not the kind of prey the kidnappers are after. But most of all, I'm happiest living next to the sea.
Anyway, I'll keep up with your blog and keep an open mind.
