Down on the border, Mexican officials are upset that a 2½ mile section of border fence in New Mexico was accidentally built on the Mexico side of the border due to surveying errors. Mexico wants the fencing removed from its territory “as quickly as possible,” which will cost at least $3 million.

INTERESTING: London terrorists: Attempt may show change of tactics

The hunt for the London terrorists: Attempt may show change of tactics
Did the attackers simply fail to make a bigger device, or is this al-Qa’ida’s new way of igniting fear on the streets?
Paul Lashmar and Cole Moreton report
Published: 01 July 2007

***Begin Quote***

The London car bombers could not have destroyed the Tiger Tiger club and killed people in it, experts said last night. The huge manhunt for the would-be mass murderers by police and security services was given new urgency by an attack on Glasgow airport yesterday and the fear of further incidents.

***and***

Police think that an explosion here might have been intended to draw panicking revellers out on to the streets, where they would be have been joined by the emergency services. Then another, bigger bomb in a second Mercedes among them could have been triggered, causing hundreds of deaths.

So one has to change one’s thinking. If caught is a survival situation, then you have to not panic. (Easier said than done.) Use Boyington’s OODA (Observe Orient Decide Act) paradigm. Rushing directly away may NOT be the best tactic to get to safety. Dispersion might be better. That is the mob is going that-a-way, we’ll go this-a-way.

GUNS: Immigration Bill Dead For Now

Immigration Bill Dead For Now
— Gun owners unheralded in media, but played a huge role in the defeat of bill

Well, the American public has spoken.

If you ever wondered whether your activism pays off, then look no further than the immigration debate. The bill went down in flames yesterday by a vote of 53-46.

And good thing too, because this bill was packing more than just immigration stuff — it also contained anti-gun language as well.

But what else would you expect from a Ted Kennedy bill?

In addition to denying many law-abiding gun owners their right to find a job or buy a gun, the bill could have put every major gun shop out of business, something which the anti-gun left has been trying to do for years.

Everyone Shows ID for Beer in Tenn.
Jun 30 02:28 PM US/Eastern

Associated Press Writer

***Begin Quote***

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Comer Wilson hasn’t had to show his ID to buy beer in a while. Maybe it’s the 66-year-old man’s long white beard.

Starting Sunday, gray hair won’t be good enough. Wilson and everyone else will be required to show identification before buying beer in Tennessee stores—no matter how old the buyer appears.

“It’s the stupidest law I ever heard of,” Wilson said. “You can see I’m over 21.”

Tennessee is the first state to make universal carding mandatory, says the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association. However, the law does not apply to beer sales in bars and restaurants, and it does not cover wine and liquor.

Well, I think that it is a GREAT idea!

Annoy people with enough stupid laws so even the most dense can see the stupidity.

More laws to correct more problems that the laws created in the first place.

When do we realize that laws don’t prevent underage drinking, they encourage it. Prohibition demonstrated it. Being illegal, it’s kool. Being illegal, when they turn 18 or 21 or one of their friends do, it’s drunken city.

Same as all drugs. You can’t prevent it with a law. All you can do is raise the price!
