The only issue at hand is the fence. Forget conspiracies and everything else. Simcox solicited funds for a fence advertised to cost 200 bucks per foot to construct. That is not in dispute. To date he has constructed a fence that at the top end cost 30 bucks a foot to construct. His original fence design will never see the light of day for many reasons so what we will have are a series of short 30 dollar per foot fences with the excuse that he couldn't get the required permits from the "evil gubberment". That will resonate with many of his supporters who come from the Patriot Movement. Simcox and associates know that and so they have a ready made rationale to pocket the surplus funds.

Absolutely correct.

When you really think about it logically, private individuals building an Israeli style fence is a crazy idea to begin with. A few miles here, and a few miles there is ridiculous on it's face.

Thanks for bringing me back around. Got a little distracted with the history of this thing brouhaha. It seemed to blow in from nowhere. Hopefully...it will blow back to where it came from.
