[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 207145, member: 2189"] Brazen, I understand on the one hand about putting up a fence to keep the illegals from getting in and there are pros and cons to whether it would work. If you come home and a waterline is burst and the house flooded, you shutoff the water to stop the flow and then you bail out the water. Simplistic but it's a point none the less. What does bother me about the wall/fence harkens back to the cold war years when this President we had during the period made a speech and had the gonads to tell the leader of another empire to "Tear Down This Wall!" That wall was built to actually keep people in and prevent them from escaping to what they considered a terrible life that they were being forced by law to live. In time, the wall did come down with great joy and happiness from peoples everywhere. Yes a wall could stop certain people from entering this country but it can also be used to prevent people from leaving as well. History has proven so many times in the past that people on a whim are stupid enough to not think things through and then in the future elect someone who becomes their worse nightmare. We think we are to smart and better than that but so did many of those other folks too who made the tragic history we read of today. We stand and tell the world via another empire to tear down the wall and then we go and build one ourselves. What does that say about us? [/QUOTE]
