More sarcastic thanks to the Republicans, Conservatives, the NRA and now-former President George W. Bush

If you saw "60 Minutes" last night on CBS, you saw how a whole society and large country just to our South--Mexico, of course--is unraveling.

Unraveling due to drugs, drug wars, money coming in for it all and the available guns that make the killing and insanity all possible.

And if anyone thinks this isn't the United States' concern or problem, they can think again.

Sure, for one thing, you certainly don't want this neighbor falling apart.

We can't have the murders and kidnapping that's taking place there come across the border and spill into our country.

But it's more than that. More by a long shot.

The fact is, the money coming into Mexico, the drugs they distribute and the guns they use all come from us. The United States.

And it's the guns that get me here.

Remember the assault weapon ban we used to have?

Remember that?

Of course not. We're Americans. We have little, if any, attention spans and no memory.

The assault weapons ban was a law that tried to keep down the number of assault weapons in America and on our streets.

The Republicans, Conservatives and NRA all thought it better to do away with this ban in 2004, what with their imperial leader, George W. Bush, in charge, it was a no-brainer.

So how does this connect to Mexico's meltdown?

Statistic from last night's program: 90% of all the weapons going through Mexico come from the United States.

So it seems that this will likely come down, in future history books, as the United States could, possibly be getting a bit of comeuppance, given that those original three factors--the guns, money and drugs--that are the problem in Mexico are of our creation, here.

So maybe it would be wise to do something about those guns and our gun laws?
