"I would suggest then that Mr. Ambrose's mind is small and weak." His mind or is it that he just doesn't get out much?
REALITY CHECK, Mr Ambrose.
The notion that you can somehow secure that immense stretch from the ingenuity of people hungry for the work and money to be found in the rich United States is an absurdity to my mind. I suppose you could do it if you were willing to build a version of the Great Wall of China and transfer just about every soldier not now in Iraq to California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Something like that is what it would take, I suspect. This argument is getting tiresome.
ACTIVATE HYPERBOLE:
I suppose you could make the argument that since we can't land a fully loaded Escalade (with all the bling-bling) on Mars and have the astronauts do donuts around the Viking probe...it's not really worth undertaking a mission to the red planet.
