Set up around one of those humanitarian watering barrels placed out there. Is it illegal to tamper with the water barrels? I say piss in it.

[zeugma]

the ATF(ags) only care about harassing otherwise law abiding citizens who might have a barrel on a shotgun 1/8" too short.

"By the way, are Libertarians for open or secure borders?"

Libertarians are for open borders, while libertarians (like myself) want the military on the ground reducing these armed invaders to the dust from whence they came.

[zeugma]

many libertarians are for open borders. I'm not one of them. I don't believe you can have a country if you can't secure your borders. OTOH, without the WOD, there would be no need for the mexican army to be smuggling drugs. There would be no profit in it. Certainly not enough to risk dying over.

You are full of it, you legalize that poison and you grow drug addiction, that is about all you would get.

[A CA Guy]

If everyone would legally go through the check points and not be up to all this illegalities, there would be no need for fences.

At this point, we need big walls with fences on top!

This Libertarian wants the borders sealed ASAP.

Gee, thanks so much for your well reasoned response.

Ya just gotta wonder how this country managed to survive being overrun by addicts for the first 150+ years of its existance, when there was no such thing as an "illegal drug".

Enforcing drug law is what prevents worse from happening.

If they can't even keep drugs out of prison, how in they world do you expect them to keep them out of the country? Take a look at the worst, most freedom killing supreme court decisions of the past 40 years or so, and you'll find they have one thing in common...the "war on drugs". Well, since drugs are more available these days than they were even just 20 years ago, it looks like that "war" is being lost in a major way. Unfortunately, so are our rights.

Once lost, they never return. I couldn't care less whether drugs were legal or not, if not for the really bad law that seems to come of the current prohibition.

I think the guards are afraid of the gangs in prison, so lots of drugs and other things get by in there and I don't like that.

They need to reform the prison and hopefully kill more drug dealers who evade capture. :)
