Are the "Minutemen" enjoying 119 degrees in El Centro, California?

[begin_within]

Weather.com just repored 119 in El Centro, 116 in Yuma, 121 in Death Valley. Having fun Minutemen?

1. Not to disapparge anyone living in those areas.

But temperature wise it's starting to sound like the minute men demons are gaurding the gates of hell.

2. Fat white republican NRA freaks don't do 119 degrees

They probably wish they could hire Mexicans to stand in when it gets hot.

3. Proably about as much fun as the criminal immigrants

are having sneaking in.

The minutemen are a bunch of nutters to be sure, but they are doing far more than Bush to stop the illegals.

If Bush would get off his ass and do something, nutcases like the Minutemen would be home stroking their guns instead of looking for criminals to shoot at the border.

5. Your borders are just

lines drawn on maps and exist more in your mind then in reality.

6. I'll remember that the next time I'm in your neighborhood

I think I'll just walk into your home and help myself to what's in the fridge. After all, if national bounderies are illusions, what are property lines?

9. Didn't want to get to ethics

But I wouldn't enter your house without an invitation or your property for that matter. Just making a point that this is one world and it has been in constant change.

10. Welcome to DU

I also wouldn't enter your property or anyone else's without permission unless it was under very special circumstances. However, I also believe that this type of respect should be followed on an international level.

Of course, on some abstract level, all boundaries are arbitrary. But if we allow everyone worldwide who wants to improve their economic circumstances to enter the U.S. without some controls and limitations, we will soon suffer the same conditions here that these people are trying to escape. Then, theoretical discussions about the justness or reality of borders won't be worth a whistle.

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

13. Your right.

We may soon slip into the same conditions that those people are trying to escape, or being invited in by mainly Republican employers to keep our wages down. Who is going to buy all the high priced goods when we can't aford food and shelter. This is a worldwide problem without any simple soulutions. I lived on the southern border for sixty years in San Diego and could cross at will, but not my southern friends.

[Freedom_Aflaim]

12. and laws against murder, theft, tax evasion and citizenship

are just ink on a page of some dusty lawbook.


You are right. Those borders are just imaginary lines. Just legal concepts


Borders and laws are just mental constructs of the human mind. Nonetheless, society revolves around MANY mental constructs.

Without mental constructs built on mental constructs, we are just a bunch a cavemen sitting around a fire.

If you want to live in a society where there are no legal concepts, I don't think that such a place exists on this planet.

4. It's almost that bad here - 110 on my shady front porch right now, in

Encino, which is in the City of Los Angeles. We are about 10 miles due north of Santa Monica.

It's starting to get really humid this afternoon, too. The desert at 119 might not feel any worse.

[kestrel91316]

14. Well, nextdoor in Woodland Hills it hit 119 today. That's also technically

in Los Angeles city proper. And we have had 17 days straight over 100.

I THOUGHT it had been especially icky today.............

[Nomad559]

7. It's 110°F

here In Fresno.

:wow:

[jaysunb]

8. It's 105 here in Pasadena

and my "minuteman" type neighbor and his asshole kids are at the pool screaming at the top of their lungs, and starting to look like lobsters.
Maybe I should go out and ask why they're not down at the border....:evilgrin:

[MADem]

11. Nawww, bring em down some ice cold drinks, encourage them

to stay out in the sun....

Let Darwin sort it out!
