Personally, I've been to Mexico twice before 2005 and have no desire to return as it's a big world and there are other places to see.
Alright we plan vacations and believe we've taken all the precautions to travel safely and here are some scenarios to ponder:
1. You forgot your passport in the bedroom, so you go grab it and as you are coming down the stairs, you nose dive breaking your neck and die instantly.
2. You are enroute to the airport and a flying tire from a transport truck comes through the window and everyone in the vehicle dies.
3. Okay, you have arrived safe and sound at the airport but you are ushered away because your passport is not pristine. You become so frustrated that you bang your head against the wall, but you didn't know it was the steel beam you hit, you fall and die.
4. Okay, you board the plane as everything has been settled and you are on your way, you think! 2 hours into your flight, the aircraft suddenly loses all power and it crashes with no survivors!
What's my point? Live for the moment but don't be reckless and remember the only gaurantee in life is death. Use warnings to your advantage, nobody is going to tell you what to do, just be careful out there.
@Don Draper, there will always be xenophobics and they will become agoraphobic, so in-time they become mysophobic. When this happens that individual has given up and will rely on internet banking, utility payments, on-line shopping, grocery-gateway and so on. Numerous businesses, professionals and industries are hoping it happens soon, so they can PROFIT.
As for Howie 'mysophobic' Mandell, he fist pounds instead of handshakes-well ain't he stupid because he's transmitted germs, if he coughs or sneezes more germs. Who will shave his back and balls? Not me! If he's truly mysophobic then he's abstinent-he can't have sex because there's physical contact; he can't even spank-the-monkey because his pecker isn't clean there could be Howie goo on him.
Howie has a disease, it's called "heisfullofshititis!"
