Egypt threatens to break border crossers' legs

This came over the news wires today. Apparently the Egypt foreign minister has warned people attempting to breach the border into Egypt will have their "legs broken".

That's a little brutal, but hey it's Egypt's border, whatever.

The irony in this news article comes in the second sentence...

Egypt faces demands from ... the United States to gain control of the border...

Our government won't even control our own damned border and they are demanding that Egypt control theirs.

Illegal Immigration Fencing

So you wanna keep a dog in your yard, or keep the neighbor's dogs out of your yard. What do you do? Build a fence.

Now granted some dogs will just dig under the fence and some dogs will stick their paws in the holes in chain link and climb right up over the top. To stop this you put slats in the chain link or use something they can't climb like a standard wood plank fence.

Which ever you choose though you have a fence that will keep the majority of dogs in or out of your yard depending on the purpose of said fence.

The dogs that do get through? Well that's what BB guns are for.

The conversation I heard today

So I'm on lunch break and head to the closest convience store to get a soda. I live in Boise, ID btw to put this in geographic perspective.

I wish I could have heard what the other people were saying. Not sure if it was because they were on the other side of the store and it got drowned out by white noise or I just didn't hear them because I was so flabergasted by what I was hearing.

The conversation was between two store workers. What I heard was the girl's (White, not that it matters except in context) half of the conversation while she was ringing me up.

"I was calling his family to come up with money for his bond. It's $15,000. They wouldn't help though. They all said just send him back to Mexico, he'll be back next week."

There was a slight pause and I kinda nodded my head to myself and thought well they do have a point. The other person said something I didn't hear (wish I would have) and the girl's reply was thus:

"But I just want to be married to someone"

I left the store, out to my car and realized I did not have enough duct tape in the car to prevent my head from exploding.

I have no other comments, just contemplate what I have written.
