[QUOTE="LinguaIgnota, post: 69549965, member: 365019"] Sometimes, late at night, after having browsed a couple of message boards, I get the thought that maybe a wall isn't such a bad idea. Not to keep anyone out but to keep Americans in. The thoughts quickly disappear, though, when I remind myself what an incredibly impractical and ineffective structure such a wall would be. Americans would just as easily get out as terrorists could get in. It's all a matter of means and motivation. Heck, to circumvent a wall, all one would need is a boat. There are miles and miles of unmonitored shoreline. Since 9/11 2001, approximately 90 people have been killed in terrorist attacks on American soil. Half of those by the hands of right wing extremists. In comparison, an average of 29 people die from lightning strikes each year; making the total number of deaths by lightning exceed 400 since 9/11 2001. You are more likely to be crushed to death by a falling tv or other piece of furniture than you are of dying in a terrorist attack. With this in mind, I suggest that the fear of terrorism is irrational and highly exaggerated. I suspect the millions of dollars your government would have to sink into such a pointless project could be better spent somewhere else. Perhaps on education and mandatory field trips into reality...
