The Political system of Opium isn’t really like we have
today. An example would be the eejits, Today if eejits were real, chances are
we would consider it murder because with our values that we have today. A person
needs to be alive to be an eejit, so if someone was turned into an eejit that
would be presumed as either assault (because they never really died) or murder.
The only reason they could do this in the future was because Opium is a
separate country with different laws.
The
political system in Opium is very strange, and it is a real wonder why the US,
or Mexico, won’t do anything about Opium. At the start US allowed Opium because
they wanted to stop all the drugs coming to their country, but now that the US
has found all the major drug lords in Opium, they could easily over take over Opium,
putting the major drug lords in prison, and stopping any more people from being
turned into eejits. You could argue that the US doesn’t know about what is
happening in Opium, but they would at least notice all the people disappearing
on the border.
Even though
Politics in Opium is much different from the rest of the world, US and Mexico
are still very much the same. Mexico is over populated and most people there are
poor except for a few like the keepers, who have to make up story’s just to
keep there good jobs. In the US it seems like it is worse then before because
at 1 point in the book El Patron says that, “there are the same amount of
people coming across the border from America as there are from Mexico,” this
means that the US would be doing worse in there economy, or they might be over
populated like Mexico. Either way people in Mexico still think the US is better
then Mexico, this might be one of the reasons the US needs to keep Opium alive.
