I was confused in the first article about why the art pieces of Margolle's were so engendered. I understand that the use of dead bodies is seen as more of a masculine art form, but I found the displays so morbid and twisted that the gender of the artist didn't really matter.
I found the interview with Bowden very interesting, and it was a perspective that I've never heard before. I knew that there were record high murder rates this past year and that they were related to the drug cartel, but I had never heard an argument for letting the drug trade continue. How, with the drug trade being the largest economy in Mexico, and the obvious negative effects on the United States, has NAFTA not been revisited? It seems like the primary culprit in the destruction of Mexico's infrastructure and economy, so if it would keep more people from crossing illegally, decrease the drug trade and death rate, and decrease the number of homeless children, has this not been a greater topic of discussion?
