An imposed tax woud be like imposing a tax on folks who grow tomatoes in their home gardens. Very hard to keep track of everyone growing, difficult to tax, and if the tax was voluntary no one would pay it any ways. Dont go getting all pissy about drugs guys, if the demand were'nt HERE the product would not be moving. Not saying its right just expressing a dif. view. Carry on.

Domination takes full concentration..

Arrow well yeah spence....

when you replace steel with something ten times as strong
with a much thinner diameter then you can make many new things.
the mexicans are the most ingenius race of people on earth next to the japanese....and both have belief systems that hold back their progress...but thats their history. The problem is....were not making the terrorist situation their problem. if we made finding terrorists the M13 gangs buisness (with rewards) then no terrorist would dare set foot in america.

personally i get really fired up as you may have noticed about this whole issue..mainly because they lump to many things together
into a shepards pie that eventually becomes to complex to discuss rationally.

They desperately need to divide and conquer the individual problems. YOU say pot it becomes drugs you say drugs it becomes
the smuggling at the border you say border it becomes an issue of terrorists entering America and then it goes round and round like water going down a toilet never to be seen again....

Fences

Before the current fences went up the illegal workers went home to mexico. It was that easy to get in and out. Now with the fences and the cost to get into the country (ie. smuggling or a walk thru the desert) The Illegals STAY HERE! That is why we have the problems that we do...

But How many americans actually grow there own tomatoes, most go to the supermarket to buy them. They don't want to take the time, or have the patience, to do that.

Take beer for example everybody can make it tax free at home, but most people would just rather run to the packy and pick up a case....and pay the tax in the process.....than to take the time to make it themselves.

The tax would have to be mandatory, and knowing the government, it would be. Just like it is on Alcohol, tobacco, and Gasoline.

Unfortunately Americans are always in a hurry to be lazy.

Angry true throwing Timber

but the demand isnt going anywhere....

its here to stay...it's human nature ...not politics..
unless your gonna electroprod ( ECT electroshock)
the the whole population into compliance....
for every bad habbit they have.
theres more americans addicted now to prescription drugs
than illegal ones.... we've become a country of druggies
and the farther we move away from self -agriculture the worse
we'll get.
Soon they'd be saying
hey ya know ...you fish too long! too hard !and to often......


christ thats the mentality if a replacement drug doesnt work...
if you dont believe me...heres a link to being electroshocked for
snoring no less...
http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadge...per-039824.php

better fences are not the answer..either really
because they'll find a way...
just look at the cubans making boats out of pickup trucks...
that willpower is unstopable

electronically though we might be able to authenticate
people to the point we can achieve some control

but like a suggestion (proposed idea) i just read about....i was horrified
to contemplate this...concerning barn yard animals
being retrofitted (implanted) with a rfid tag so that proper identification
(theyre doing it with pets and cars and cell phones)
of all fowl could be controlled due to the threat of the bird flu
to which we have little or no resistance to.

we'll all have these tags implanted if this goes on.
we are already numbered!
with a SS tag
a phone number tag
a drivers license tag
a license plate tag
.a boat registration tag
....so whats next.... the body tag?

Sometimes Howard Stern makes a lot of sense. His solution is to shoot illegal aliens crossing the borders. You have to admit it would discourage most. Once word got out about a few shootings the border crossing would slow right down. Then again, Cubans risk their lives to get here all the time.

I'm just kidding btw, for the most part....

When the Mexicans join the Muslims, Jake and the Shootin' iron start gettin' busy. At that point in time our Government has either failed totally or has become corrupt---totally. Then it's every man for himself. At the rate that we, the working and tax paying man, is being sold out, it won't be long. I'm buying shares in ammo...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

I don't think it would make a difference, Pete. I've fished (for scallops) with many Mexicans, and they tell me that they are already dodging bullets from THIER side of the border in order to get here. On the way home one trip they were watching a Mexican-made español movie on DVD which had a scene depicting this exact thing. They told me it was not rare.
