Borders

What the hell was that supposed to mean?

The only border I remember to notice from a plane wath this sort of green blue stripe they put between France and England. An another a bit larger between France and Canada  . A spanish pal tell me about a fence between Spain and France called in some bookd Pyr

Ah, that's interesting.  Not really used to national borders in Anglo-America, besides the Canadian and Mexican ones which both have fences (I believe for Canada at least.).

Trust me dude I have worked at the Northern border since 1989 and fences there aren't.   It just aint so.......................

No fences on the US-Canadian border?  But then how are we keeping those dastardly Canadians out?

[Drizler]

We don't keep em out.   Actually its worse than that. They come down here and marry and the next thing you know theres all sorts of  Americanadians running all over the place.
Truth is lots of em in Quebec pay big bucks to enroll their kids in school in NY anv VT so they don't have to go to those French Language schools mandated by the Quebec government.    
 No fences, just the 50'slash with small stone markers about 2 by 2' marking the border.   From the air you can't much tell the difference except for the slash which is pretty prominant since its so long, the St lawrence River and Great Lakes. Even the roads and Interstate highways look alike.   When you think about it this climate isn't too kind to chain link fences.   To keep the frost from heaving them they would have to be set in 6' of concrete, expensive and smugglers would just cut through.   Nobody has fired a shot at each other over that border since 1814.

I really think that Data has hit upon something here. We need to build a fence around the USA that you can see from space, with holes built in for the checkpoints of course.

You could fly through the holes and scrare the shoot of everyone

Turn the southern 200 miles of floridian coast into the beaches at Normandy in WWII.      Kidding!
