What if you woke up in the morning and you found out that there was a
humanitarian crises at the border with 50,000 migrants swimming across
the Rio Grand? What if you found out that they were mostly toddlers and
babies and pregnant mothers? What if they were trying to /turn
themselves in/ to the authorities? What would you do?

1. Form a posse and point guns at them and shout Stop you wetbacks!,
even though they can't even understand Spanish.
2. Go on TV and declare them all drug-runners and Mexican gang mafia
and send in the National Guard to monitor the situation.
3. Request more money from congress for food and medicine, arrange for
a place for them to stay, and hire more clerks, judges, and
care-givers.
4. Tell everyone to pass immigration reform, eat some corn chips and
guacamole and then go play golf.
5. Build a really tall fence all along the border with cameras and
drones and border guards.
6. Do nothing.
7. All of the above.

I'd blame it on the Republicans and say we got what we deserved because it's
our karma coming back to bite us in the ars! Then I'd open up the borders and
send the illegals to all the red states, make them legal, so we could turn the
red states blue. Then I'd blame the Jews for the problems in the middle east
and withdraw my support for Israel in hopes of appeasing the followers of the
religion of *peace* then curl up in a fetal position and hope everybody loves

What if you woke up in the morning and found out that the
Mexican-American border was not secured and that drug gangs were sending
waves and waves of illegal aliens across the border? What would you do?

1. Complete the border fence and reform the immigration laws.
2. Make a request to Congress for billions of dollars to build more
processing centers and hire more clerks and judges.
3. Hire more border guards to secure the border and purchase more
equipment like SUVs and drones.
4. Make immigration reform a campaign issue in the next election.
5. Open the border and give all illegal aliens amnesty and the right to
vote.
6. Do nothing and ignore the situation - go play golf.

all of the progress made at America's southern border since 9/11. We're

in the past five years, he says. All of the good that was done after

The acid test was this morning and the camera performed beautifully 
for such a toy.  The one goof I caught on video was the SUV in front of 
me stopping as the warning lights started going off at the railroad 
crossing.  He was just right on top of the crossing and should have 
continued through. Be he stopped instead and then had to back up.  The 
crossings are set up so the bars don't come down immediately so a car 
can get through.  The train was about 15 seconds out so plenty of time.


What didn't work so well was the footage as I returned home as that 
camera apparently got too hot in the car so the video was blurry.  
Checking here the camera is back to normal.  So I will put it away if it 
looks like it is going to get heat from direct sunlight while parking.

Re What if you found out that fewer and fewer youngsters are supporting more

 Is that necessarily bad news? The reason we need a smaller work force is 
because automation in manufacturing and IT in the office means fewer people can 
do the work that a generation ago a larger workforce could accomplish. Greater 
productivity per worker means either more profits for the bigwigs or more

What if you went to the American-Mexican border and you found out that
there were no border patrol on duty - that they were stationed forty
miles away. What if you found out that large stretches of the
Texas-Mexican border didn't have a fence? What if you found out that
hundreds of miles of the U.S. border were not secure?

If you were on the border, in the middle of the desert and there were no
border police or a fence and you saw 1000 women and children walking
your way, what would you do?

1. Give them a hug, a drink and a ride in your car into town.
2. Shout out to them to stop and go back where they came from.
3. Call the Border Patrol and report that women and children were
crossing over to the U.S.
4. Shoot at them.
5. Do nothing.
6. Run.

I'd like to get one - I've had, and wrecked, quite a few of the mini-copters. 
The little ones are also *very* susceptible to wind, and even direct sunlight 
can interfere with the beam from the controller.

Sounds like you had one with an infra-red controller if the sun

The one I have uses a charged capacitor to allow it to fly for a few

I don't have a quadcopter but I suspect they are easier to fly than the 
little helicopters (I have one of those) and a model plane.  Here's a 
video taken of 4th of July fireworks from a drone flying through them.

What if you woke up in the morning on the 4th of July and you found out
that there were 130,00 refugee women and children crossing the
U.S.-Mexican border seeking asylum? What if you saw protestors blocking
the road chanting /USA! USA!/

Protest rally

What would you do?

The group protesting the busing of immigrants to California waved
American flags and chanted U.S.A, while across the street
demonstrators responded with, Shame on you!

What if the federal government gave the immigrants work permits and
refugee status?

What if they got jobs and worked and paid income taxes?

What if we could improve the living conditions in the countries where
they came from?

An overload of immigrant families at the U.S. border with Mexico has
led to calls for aid from the Obama administration and ignited
conversation around immigration reform.

 An editorial in the New York Times yesterday pointed out, for those of 
 us who didn't realize it, that the Bush administration had inserted two 
 provisions into last October's defense budget bill that would make it 
 easier to declare martial law in the US. Senators Leahy and Bond have 
 introduced a bill to repeal these changes, and it is important that 
 voters keep track of this bill and hold their Congresspeople to account 
 on it. Along with several other measures the Bush adminstration has 
 proposed, the introduction of these changes amounts, not to an
attack on 
 the Congress and the balance of power, but to a particular and
concerted 
 attack on the citizens of the nation. Bush is laying the legal 
 groundwork to repeal even the appearance of democracy. Any senator who 
 does not vote in favor of the Leahy/Bond repeal of these provisions 
 should promptly be recalled by his or her constituents.
