(CNSNews.com) - The travel alert for Mexico posted on the U.S. State
Department's Web site on Feb. 20 is sufficient information for Americans

the country that has resulted in more than 7,000 deaths since January
2008.


Wise words from Ben...

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

He would have brought instant recognition to the office of surgeon general, a post that has lacked visibility since the days of C. Everett Koop during Ronald Reagan's presidency.
