My Way News - Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans protest killings
AP reports: "Hundreds of thousands of frustrated Mexicans, many carrying pictures of kidnapped loved ones, marched across the country Saturday to demand government action against a relentless tide of killings, abductions and shootouts."

Comment: This is an extraordinary expression of anger and frustration by the people of Mexico against the corruption and violence that now defines daily life in that country. Let's hope that people power can inspire the leaders of Mexico to fight back against the drug cartels that threaten to take over the state.
