they're made of magic fairy dust, and when they're all puffed up and cloud-like, they keep all the baddies out and all the goodies in, and nothing evil ever happens in the Land Of Fuckface.
They're made of cocaine, I think.

11. Any wall that will keep out... |
|
...the brown people... Maybe it will be like your neighbor's electric dog parameters, where the poor dog receives a shock every time he crosses the invisible line... But trust them, it doesn't hurt...

12. Just what it says.. Tech... as in |
|
Edited on Mon May-15-06 07:37 PM by MazeRat7
Motion sensors, infrared sensors, audio sensors, etc, etc...
Not a fence in the classical sense of being long and connected.. more like a series of "listening posts" along the border...

edit: removed the word "High" from "High Tech" in the subject line since these technologies are really pretty common these days.

13. Hi-tech fences are like the ones Tom Sawyer got his friends to paint |
|
Edited on Mon May-15-06 07:37 PM by mrcheerful
when his aunt wanted them white washed.
Edited to add, at a 20 billion loan on the national debt.

17. These are probably going to be like... |
|
...the fences and sensor-filled scorched earth the Europeans have set up along their Eastern borders. All kinds of motion sensors and heat sensors buried in the ground and loads of 'border guards' equipped with 'non-lethal' weapons (read tasers and glue guns), to 'discourage' illegal immigration.
Just don't call it an Iron Curtain, ok?

19. It's a virual fence, kind of like virtual reality.... |
|
it won't prevent Big Business from getting all the cheap labor they want.
El presidente is a typical business class Repuke, all they care about is driving down wages until no one except the top 1% can make a decent living.
