Do we need a border? I suppose. Does it need to be as controlled? Nope. I think it should be like the EU -- an outer border with strict controls and relaxed on the inside.

Unlike many European boundaries, there isn't much difference on either side of the US-Canada border (I can hear my country mates screaming at me)... generally speaking (very generally!) , we're all from the same stock and speak the same language. I think it would be difficult for anyone to tell an American from a Canadian. (The American is drinking a soda).

Whereas I can tell the difference between a Finn and a Dane -- the Finn has ice cream in his hat.

I once read an article on NOSE, and the article ends: Do we need the border? Well, a

The border is just a divider between the entities, whether they divided great nations, counties or properties.

You hear Danes talking about the border with Germany gone after we joined Schengen. The border is still there.

Anyway Averill, I know what you mean. Border = border patrol.
