MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Tens of millions of Mexicans could find their
cell phones disconnected this weekend if the government goes ahead
with a new law meant to fight crime by forcing people to register
their identities.

Advertisements on government radio and television have been urging
Mexicans for weeks to register their cell phones by sending their
personal details as a text message, but on Thursday 30 million lines
remained unregistered as the Saturday deadline neared.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Land lines are registered so why not
cell phones? It would help track down drug dealers.
For the fool, you compromise the rights of the law-abiding because of the law-breaker.

Nope. Owning a phone is NOT a right.

Yes, under communism that is correct.

For the enlightened, you make the penalties of the law-breaker more severe.

Wrong again.

Yes, under communism that is correct.

Mexico is as backwards as you can get on this issue, as is anyone that supports garbage.

And wrong again.

Heil!
