Mexician Drug Lord makes Forbes List

MEXICO CITY – Mexico is decrying Forbes Magazine's decision to include the reputed leader of one of the country's most violent drug cartels on its list of billionaires.

So which side of the conspiracy theroy does this fall on?

I have read the different opinions of who is really behind importing drugs to this country, and for what reasons; but to put a drug dealer on the billionaire list is outrageous. Are the financial powers that be letting slip their true colors?

I think Forbes was just trying to be accurate.

Bill Gates is #1 and he is the biggest dealer of crap in the world!

Just accuracy my friend, Nick_X is right.

I guess it doesn't matter that he got his money one way or another. What does matter is that he has it.

The top 1% are the people that really control the world. I wonder what will happen when one of these crime bosses gets near the top of the list and forces his way into a bilderberg meeting?

He would never make it they would take him out first.
On the other hand I find it appalling that Forbes would list this person in the name of accuracy.

That maybe true, but I don't think Gates uses peasants as slave labor, mercenaries as guards, nor does his end product kill from an overdose, ruin lives and families not to mention whole communities!!!

Oh wait a minute; computers can be kind of addicting can't they?

Seriously, apalling is the only discriptive word I can think of that won't get me a reprimand.

I just find it a sad commentary on our economy that Forbes would stoop that low to fill a quota. Not to mention very depressing.

Drug dealers are people too!

I would suggest that possibly all on the list got there by how you would say, some rather odd dealings which havn't been in the best interest of those who where on the recieving end.
exsample, Large food chains who destroyed the lives of small family business.
so they all have a dark side.

All I can do is sit and shake my head... Ok 5 min pity party over.
Check the garden. Check the rain barrels. Check the livestock. Check the ammo. Thank God I'm a Country Girl!
