Hey everybody back in Michigan!! The entire state is a border with Canada and the Constitution only kinda, sorta, partly applies to you.

The Department of Homeland Security is now taking the position that “the border” is the 100-mile wide strip that wraps around the “external boundary” of the United States. The ACLU took all the recent census maps and came to a rather surprising conclusion.What we found is that fully TWO-THIRDS of the United States’ population lives within this Constitution-free or Constitution-lite Zone. That’s 197.4 million people who live within 100 miles of the US land and coastal borders.

The market will use whatever tools provide the best solutions for the best return on investment.

“ I find the Flash-bashing tedious and hollow. Flash has all kinds of shortcomings; but Flash, as Winston Churchill might say, is “the worst except for all the others ever tried.
