Word going around is that there is a conspiracy -- although not exactly organized -- in the United States to try to keep Baby Boomers within the borders.

This would be based on the fear that boomers, 8000 of whom are turning 60 every day, will pick up and move to Mexico, as I did ten years ago. Leaving the US would represent a large hole in revenues that could be collected and spending that could be given over to the chain-stores in the malls.

The media is involved, of course, which is why there are so many stories about the lawlessness of Mexico -- the only place that is a problem is the border between the US and Mexico...and most of the problem has been cause by that segment of the undisciplined American public that is addicted to drugs (most Mexicans can't afford addiction...it's too expensive).

Will we ever know if this is true or not? A year ago I would have said probably not. Now I'm thinking that we are suddenly living in a time (New Time) when EVERYthing is being dug up and put out there for EVERYone to see.

Regardless, I wouldn't put it past the folks in charge up north to have figured out there is a hemorrhage of boomer money going south -- and to have wanted to do just about anything to keep that money at home.
