Of course, this is the
fundamental problem with your border security: it's keeping honest folks like
Don and I (who might spend money down there!) out, but is doing nothing to
counter terrorism.

Ya know, I hear this kind of crap all day from the likes of you,
Gould, Harry, and the rest, can you please elaborate on this one
statement, and please give some examples, proof, or is is just more of
your endless political rubbish?

Hello Mr. Backyard Renegade: Last summer, I applied for and received a
"Nexus" Border Crossing Card and I have had not problems crossing, with my
boat, Lake Huron, from Canada to the USA.

If a person has the proper identification, there is no problems boating
across the borders between Canada and the USA.

I enjoy visiting my American friends and border security is no problem for
those who have a Nexus Card.

Do you suppose the terrorists just get in line at the border crossings? Our
border with Canada is too long to partrol, and much of it is mountainous
wilderness.
It isn't like trying to defend the perimeter of
Vatican City. Heck, I could sneak into Canada. And back. Think what a terrorist
with just a minimum amount of training could do?

You want to enter the US from Canada?
Come by pleasure boat during the busy summer cruise season and put up a
courtesy flag. It would take US Customs days, if ever, to figure out you hadn't
cleared customs. Stay out of the resort marinas and odds are good you would
*never* be questioned. As it is, only a small percentage of boats are actually
inspected when they do report to customs. A guy could have a dozen terrorist
criminal *******s concealed in a medium size boat and have a 60-80 percent
chance of getting through untouched.

Terrorist criminal *******s will take the easiest opportunity to get into the
US. It's like basketball. You double or triple team the guy you think is most
likely to score against you, and that only takes the pressure off somebody else
instead.

What prompted all the security against the sharks? Had there been a massive
shark attack in that pool before? Had other sharks threatened to enter the
same pool? Did we catch sharks that had entered the pool, but detained them
before they did some damage? Were the sharks sent to the pool by other
countries?

Some sick, twisted, criminal ******* once threw a shark into the pool. A
single, tragic incident in the entire history of the fictional little town. The
city fathers used the incident as an excuse to extend police powers into all
sorts of areas not particularly related to securing the pool. The city
government bloated to unheard of proportions, and the shark attack was cited as
the reason. The little city even began annexing a number of other communities
so that the other areas could be more effectively policed.

In the end, somebody threw a rattlesnake instead of a shark.

There well may be additional attacks. It is the nature of terrorists to strike
where they are unexpected- to cut people down during
innocent, routine, daily activities. Until we
become a total police state, with everybody watched absolutely all the time, we
remain vulnerable to attacks from quarters we would currently consider low
risk. When we do become a total police state, the terrorists will have carried
the day- they will have caused America, as we know it, to self-destruct.

If and when the criminal *******s stirke again, it will be where we least
expect it- not where we are most prepared. Unless, of course, the preparations
are ineffective window dressing. The only thing more frightening than being
attacked from somewhere you didn't expect it would be a highly successsful
attack through the one or two areas where the public had been lulled into
believing we were well prepared.

Let me think....is it possible the geese were making that trip long before
dentists
were poluting the local waterways in Florida??
I'd bet on the geese.

*ONE* stinkin' pelican!? Are you sure it wasn't a loony bird? Do you know
how many Canadian geese permanently leave Canada and head to the US every
year?

BTW--keep your damn geese up there...'cause their **** is polluting the
water in our parks.

What? Even your 'Brown Pelicans' are trying to get away from your
repressive regime. One landed here and a local vet is taking care of it
until we ship it back to Miami. Darn shame......bird has more sense

a
lot of 'good 'ole boys'.

I'm glad the CG is there to keep the likes of Don and Lloyd out of our

Chuck,
I'd agree with you that putting up a wall around America, instituting an
Alert System, passing the Patriot Act, fingerprinting all non-Citizens, etc.
would be a waste of time...*IF* we didn't also have a policy of going into
the countries in the Middle East and tossing out the governments that
support the terrorists.

That plan works for me. What is *your* plan?

What would you propose we do about Islamic terrorists who were born in and
resided continuously in places like England, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, Spain, Colombia, the Phillippines, Indonesia, Chechnya, Jersey
City, Cinncinnati, Buffalo, Boca Raton, Bluefield (WV) and Old Forge (NY)?

Make sure you have just one answer which applies equally to all the places
listed. This way, the places that have no value to you are treated the same
as Boca. We wouldn't want our "little brown brothers" to be mistreated just
because you say so. (That was Teddy Roosevelt's term for the Phillippinos).
