>An old buddy is xenophobic to the max. Years ago, long before it was fashionable, he was calling for a wall on the Mexican border, another one on the Canadian border, and gunboats lined up 10 deep on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. "You want us, come and get us!" he said.

Well, I disagree. I believe the Mexican border is a tremendous security breach because of the drug and human slavery trafficing and the terrorists. Having been in the trenches with the drug war, I think we should put up miniguns on the border with motion detectors and shoot anything that strays into the kill zone. But that's just my softer side coming through!<g>
