Ron Butler rip


By Mary Andrade - Posted on 12 November 2009

Ron Butler, who frequently wrote about Mexico and its appeal to him, died recently of a heart attack in Tucson, according to reports reaching Mexico City. After a career with several magazines in New York City, Ron took up freelancing and settled in Arizona, where costs are lower. Among his proudest accomplishments was his book, “Dancing Alone in Mexico.”

To quote from one reviewer: Like the diver of an old Mexican legend who lives beneath the sea seeking the best pearl, Butler lost himself in Mexico and found the hidden treasures of every tiny hamlet and big metropolis. He writes about the endangered monarch butterflies of El Rosario, the street bands of Zacatecas, and the mummies of Guanajuato. He takes a magical night ferry ride from Mazatlán and a train excursion into Copper Canyon--a chasm four times larger than the Grand Canyon--in Mexico's most mysterious mountains. He goes off the beaten path in such tourist havens as Acapulco and Cancun. And he walks in the footsteps of movie stars and artists who too have been enamored of Mexico.

There are indeed some people who don't know how to value life.They do whatever they want to do just to get what they want.Many of us know Dr. Jack Kevorkian as doctor death. He assisted individuals who will crucially ill in ending their life rather than struggling whatever was ahead, this was known as assisted suicide. He, to this day thinks that he did nothing inappropriate, even after spending 8 years in prison for doing this. His old VW Van he utilized to drive to his patients houses with was for sell on eBay. The public sale company took the listing down declaring it violates their "murderabilia" policy, where you can't make a sale related to murders. Come on, I have seen eBay sell some of the worst things ever, including porn disguised as something else, however they won't let somebody buy a doctors van. I do recognize why their policy is in location, and that it does hold importance, but I feel they should have never let it get submitted in the first destination, not taken it down after being informed by others about this and after individuals decided they desired to bid on it.
