I agree with Peter Vincent about El Chapo being simple to catch. In my view, if El Chapo decided to remain public, then he was bound to be easily spotted and caught. In addition, I believe that all that heat from people exclaiming that he was so magnificent got to his head and he deemed himself untouchable. Some might object to El Chapo being simple to capture, of course, on the grounds that he still remains in the hierarchy of all drug lords. Yet I would argue that simply being a significant drug lord does not mean that you can’t make mistakes and basically turn yourself in.…

Corruption within the system is a concerning force that holds people back from going to the polls. I didn't vote for a long time because of that very reason. It took some maturing on my end before I started to realize that regardless of what goes on inside the mechanics of politics, my vote still has a voice and it does make noise when I cast my ballot. Texas and the United States as a whole need to buckle down on the blatantly criminal acts allowed to be committed from the President's office all the way down to the School Board of Education and beyond. It seems as if it is an uncontrollable beast because the people who could actually do something to stop it either put on blinders or they are so deep into corruption…

Not only is the cartel directly responsible for the deaths of thousands, it is not farfetched to say that they are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands to drugs and all the lives ruined due to…
