Colonization in Latin America

Anglo America and Latin America are very unique the have a lot of similarities and a lot of differences.The culture in Latin America is very different from the culture of Angelo America such as the food,music,tradition and pretty much the whole atmosphere.But one thing culturally they both have are religion being that most Angelo and Latin Americans are catholic.When Spain colonized in Latin America the government was mainly if not all communist the same goes with England when it colonized in Angelo America.But over time the English colonies became a democracy while the Spanish colonies were still under communist rule.Socially Latin Americans and Angelo Americans are very similar everyone cares and likes to spend time w/ their family,play sports and overall just have fun.But some differences has to be that they live different type of lives mainly because the environment and government and the fact that most of them live in poverty.


So basically as you can tell Latin America and Angelo America are very different and a like I can't name all the similarities and differences because there are to many to even count.Both of the regions have grown tremendous in the past 500+ years and hopefully will continue to grow even more.Culturally,socially,and economically they have also grown a ton so who knows maybe one day we will be even more simular and different.









     

Opinions and thoughts on the "War on drugs"

Around 6-12 thousand people die each year from the so called "War on drugs".In my mind there is nothing that will stop this so called "war". I mean we gave Mexico over 1.6 billion dollars to help w/ equipment and stratigic support but what has changed over the past 4 years? NOT A SINGLE THING THATS WHAT! We should not give mexico or any other country in Latin America  a single cent becaue the U.S is in some "Tough times" right now and the money we give these countrys to fight the "War on drugs" could go to other things such as education,public funding,small private business etc...

How will we as the citizens of the "Greatest country of the world" be able to stop the ruthless criminals from entering our country? The anwser is there is no way,even if we boost the security of the border by 30%,40%,90% or even 100% nothing will change people will still manage to get by.I find it particularly funny that Obama is asking congress to pass a 600M border security boost when in the end result that money is just getting waisted and could go to better things.To sum this all up the "War on drugs" will never end as long as drugs are illegal and since I really doubt they will ever be legalized and thousands and thousands of innocent people will die and all those billions of dollars will be waisted.
