How Would You Control Borders?

You decided to use a Taco as bait.

But then I guess everyone likes Tacos, right?

Especially Mexicans, seeing as they invented them. Hence the joke.

Regarding the OP, I would just remove all the Texans and make all imigration to Texas legal


... except for the Texans of course.

Hence the biggotry.

Hmmm.

I would start by reducing the ability of big publishers to sell books at major discounts to large retailers. Thats one of the things thats really hurt independent book sellers. I might consider zoning and urban developement ideas that are less friendly to big box retail in general, and more favourable to smaller stores. Id encourage indy booksellers to form coops, and make sure there was nothing in the law preventing that.

OTOH some folks arent sure that Borders is so bad, or indy booksellers so good.

How is that 'biggotry'? Noticing a general difference or preference among a group of people is now deemed bigotry?

Not only am I not bigoted against large bookstores, I partonize them regularly.

How can we catch criminals?

Lure them with collard greens!

Borders suck, we need to be rid of them. That should be our goal. Such a small planet, too small for all that divides us. Of course, it's impossible with all the hate in the world, so the sooner we start the better.

I'm not talking about flowers in guns and posters about love. We need to get to the root of hate movements and governments and dig them out. We also need population control. The earth is a finite space and can't sustain infinate procreation.

What am I talking about? This can't be done. Besides, nobody could be trusted to do it.

Nevermind.

The bird flu, or something like it, will do the impossible.

Don't be stupid, Jimmy. Can't you even tell that's a Tex-Mex taco? Mexican is shedded beef, Tex Mex is ground.
Go argue a point that concerns you and yours.

Me and my what?

People around you, stupid...he repeateth.

[JimmyCracksCorn]

Oh, OK. Since the Taco was tex-mex, your OP wasn't prejudiced at all. Who was I to think your point was mired in stereotypes.

If you had bothered to look, you would see this was intended as a comic relief attempt for a serious situation.

You didn't bother. You jumped your ass right in, and continued to try and turn it to your will.
You initial statement about existing threads was almost correct, until you decided they weren't enough.

I'll say again, stay the Hell out of the thread, if it offends you so much. (Which it wouldn't if you had allowed it to go down the course for which it was charted.)

Unless you think live traps, gators, and space oddities were serious.
