Mexico: heavy rains can't beat the drought

Although Mexico is in the grip of the worst drought it has suffered since World War II, houses flooded and streets turned into lakes this week when torrential rainfall lashed Mexico City and the neighboring state of Mexico.

Speaking to El Universal, Ramón Aguirre, director of Mexico City's water system, said the heavy rains wouldn't be enough to replenish reserves, and that ongoing water rationing would continue.

Whoever made the rule that you can't participate if you're under 13 in an idiot! First of all, how are you going to determine whether or not someone is under 13? It's impossible. More importantly, prohibiting people from posting because of their age is blatant, warrantless discrimination. Everyone has a right to be heard. People have no more control over their dates of birth than they do over the color of their skin. To say that their opinions don't matter because of one makes no more sense than to say it because of the other.
