No doubt they've had their eye on it for years now. But the Mexican drug cartels probably don't want to mess with the native tweakers.

I apologize to all you good people down there (and I know there are many), but if you secede, I would just say bye bye. It's about time. Good riddance.

Most of them believe the crap that falls out of their mouths. The age where they are smarter than their rhetoric is over. We've seen them in action; they aren't any smarter.
