yeah, and last week Tombstone, AT (Arizona Territory) lol

They have the original court house, city hall, bird cage and OK corral, boot hill... I'm a huge westerns fan.. OMG I was in heaven.


I went to Tombstone a couple of years ago! I was in Phoenix for a conference then stayed for a few extra days.

I have no definitive plans to go to Arizona again so I had to go to Tombstone. I was impressed. I had to agree with a local historian... if it wasn't for the gunfight at the OK Corral (or in the alley behind the OK Corral) there probably wouldn't be a Tombstone.

What did you think of the Bird Cage?

.....& the southern border is the most likely point of entry into their country
for gardeners and such?

Gardeners? That is so 90's. Roofers, masons, laborers, carpenters, etc. No need to pay and teach apprentices any more.

That's as lame as saying the Illegal Mexicans can build the southern border fence.

We need more openness as far as travel and work.. join Canada & The USA into an EU style arrangement..

No thanks.

OTTAWA — Canada represents the greatest threat from terrorists trying to enter the United States, a top U.S. border agent told congressional lawmakers this week.

“As far as I am aware, all recent threat assessments have pointed to the northern border as the most likely point of entry into our country for terrorists,” Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told a House of Representatives’ subcommittee on national security.

More like some worthless bureaucrap is afraid his budget is about to be cut and is trying to justify the whole department's redundant existence.

Shortly after 9/11 somebody, I think it was Hillary Clinton, said the terrorists came from Canada. Well, they didn't. The 9/11 perps flew into the U.S. from different places.......not Canada. Most of them had been in the U.S. for a week or two or longer. Some politicians even called our border leaky. The thing is, that ultimately, it is the U.S. border that is leaky. We don't let people through the U.S. border, the U.S. does.

Did the US just sign an agreement with Saudi to ease travel to the US.
Seems to me that they were a little too open to Saudi's before 9/11, didn't learn a thing from that did they. But somehow Canada is to blame? I have to ask why should Saudi Arabia be treated better than any of their counterparts in the Middle East? How quickly they have forgotten that all but one of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi's and that the US trained them to fly those planes.

Didn't anyone ask why they wanted to learn to fly but not to land? I know the idea of flying planes into buildings was unthinkable of at the time but today we'd know right?

That boggled my mind too, however people rarely question that sort of thing when there is money to be made.
