But I think it would have very little impact on the movement of terrorists, and insufficient impact on the flow of drugs southward and the flow of guns northward to justify the expense. Those are real problems, but there have got to be better, more efficient ways of dealing with them. Ways that don't make us look like feuding hillbillies (liked that image too) and don't sour the relationship needlessly.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-68968124246043145632006-09-27T12:23:00.000-04:002006-09-27T12:23:00.000-04:00Right you are!

An experiece not unlike bungie jumping, only without a net. <br /><br />Basically, you hired in the US as a Canadian, and get catapulted (fired) back across the border the moment you get down/right-sized.<br /><br />This latest example of foriegn policy now threatens to cut the bungie itself, and replace it with barbed wire.<br /><br />Europeans were at each other's throats only a generation ago. They now embrace open borders. <br /><br />This idea makes North Americans look like feuding hill-billies. <br /><br />Truly, we can do better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
