During this time there were television broadcasts that either opened up the nations eyes to what was going on or started controversy for being aired.

At first she tells us how the Spaniards’ interactions with the natives consisted of tribute…

Have you ever heard the saying, “wrong place, wrong time,” or maybe that life is about “being at the right place at the right time”? Or have you ever heard about the cartels and their crimes down in Mexico? Murders, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and lots of partying goes on every day by every cartel and by every drug lord south of the border.
