"looks like they got here first spock"

Open a history book pal, this is what happens. Nobody gets mad about other ethic groups. Should we hate the Romans for taking the Etruscans land

Just get him a pair of red pants and he could be Papa Smurf for Halloween

I've been waiting for a parody Apple vs PC ad that's more realistic. The Mac Guy for no reason freezes up and stops talking. PC tries to revive him by shaking him but it's no use. He just stopped moving. Finally he has to pull the plug on Mac and restart.

There is a reason for this type of legislation. Refugee camps are the most dangerous places in the world, especially women and children. This legislation is about keeping people safe. Lets face it, American citizens are not prepared for HUGE emergencies. We go about our lives with all the stability we could ask for. So when a major emergency happens we will see the worst of people.

I do agree, however, with most threads especially Englishnerd (17) "This is might not be the best thought out plan".

This is based on good intentions but really if the Germans were invaiding Texas (or whatever the emergency is) are we really going be that organized? Probably not. So I think we can just file this one away with the rest of the "illusion of security" legisation we've seen over the years.

The modern government will not act the same way it had during the expanding era. It will simply act with political pollicies. Basicly the Lakota Nation will become Cuba. We will not allow commerce with any Lakota party. This will bankrupt the new nation. They will have no way in or out of thier territory other then air lift, much like West Berlin surrounded by Soviet Territory. If citizens of the Lakota Nation are required to renounce their United States citizenship then they will simply not be allowed on US soil. There is nothing wrong with this policy considering that (a) after 9/11 all forign nationals need special visas these days and (b) the Lakota nation is being openly hostile with the United States. Just as we would not let North Koreans or Iranians into the country without close scrutiny. I believe this was really a bad move by the Lakota leadership. It will be extreemly difficult for this government to maintain diplomatic relations with other forign countries as it will only hurt relations with the United States. (Whose side would you pick if you were a Nort American Nation?)
