"perhaps best to err on the side of Caution, and mind first own's own GD business." Amen! "with a clear policy of defending only your own undisputed borders" A few thousand posts back I was complaining about the indiscriminate use of "that" and "which." In the above comment, you didn't use either of them. So, by "undisputed borders" did you mean "borders that are undisputed" or "borders, which are undisputed." Your construct, while gramatically correct, begs the question of whether or not the U.S. has some disputed borders. The reason I ask has nothing to do with grammar. That was just something that reminded me of earlier subjects of discussion. In one of those earlier discussions, the one about the vigilante ranchers, I got the impression that you don't consider the U.S. southern border to be undisputed. If so, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on what the implications are at this point in time. Karen edit: SI is doing something really strange. It totally scrambled the words in the two quotes in this post. Fixed now. Strange! re-edit: I fixed it and it did it again.
