I'm all for this part, the rest not so much...


It seems similar to how a scarlet letter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Letter) was used to indicate adulterers in Puritan societies, or how the Jews in Nazi Germany were forced to wear yellow badges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_badge) in public so they could be immediately recognized by authorities.

On a related note a very savvy friend of mine recently took Amtrak for an ~200 mile trip. He advised me that he never saw a TSA agent, there was NO security screening of ANY kind, and no one looked into any of his bags (or inspected anyone else's bags). He said he could have brought an arsenal on the train and made the entire trip to his destination without being noticed

My son took Grayhound for a visit to his mothers and no screening or looking. He said there was one stop where the bus was late so he had to wait 4 hours for the next. Pigs came in with dogs and zeroed in on one black dude, took a 1/4 lb of weed and let him go back to waiting, no problems or tickets/citations or banning. Seems sporadic but just to snipe other peoples property even if they deem it not legal. How to complain of that? LMAO, black dude lost more than his lunch money on that one.

I think they do screen trains but sporadic like the bus lines.

If you want to suck down those federal benefits then you should be willing to be IDed. I doubt if aliens will be required to have them though.

Because when approached the goons with IQs just slightly below that of dog stained fire hydrants will recognized that they do not have a 10 million dollar bond filed with the appropriate county cleark on file and will quickly decline your offer to contract

The concept of alien cuts two ways. If you are alien to them then that makes them alien to you.

Aliens are of two sorts: friends or enemies. If they happen to be friendly aliens then they will pat you on the rump and wish you well in your journey. If they fall in the enemy classification (this status does require a declared declaration of war) then they can kill you or capture you as you can them (good luck with that last by the way).

The thing is ... don't be ambiguous. You cannot have a foot in both camps (alien and domestic). If you start making alien noises (Ego Sum No Est SkullCracka Ass Kicketh son Mi) while pretending to be domestic they are going to assume you are irrational and tase your butt.

Wait until they come up with those Sharia no-go zones in Dallas. That ought to be fun to drive a herd of Javellinas through.
