<p>To add some perspective I looked up numbers very quickly. Assuming they are accurate, 200 american tourist have been killed in Mexico since 2004. That would be about 33 a year.</p>
<p>Sounds like a lot until you consider the fact that more than TWO MILLION Americans were tourists in Mexico…JUST LAST YEAR! A slow year I should add…</p>
<p>But lets pretend for a moment its the very conservative number of 2,000,000 tourists a year…that makes the odds of being one of the unlucky tourists in a year… 33 out of 2,000,000… so about .0000165 </p>
<p>Ridiculous to worry about this. I think one would live a life not worth living if they avoided all activities at this risk. I think it would rule out a normal everyday life in fact.</p>
