Looking back at the last half of 2011, I should have seen this coming.

Hi? I’m the ghost of the ‘bar’ (bear) killed by your frontiersman years ago.

My spirit is slated for an upgrade.

In the meantime, I can report the past, my past, to you as if it’s your future.

First of all, after Apple and other tech companies convert their factories to robotic automation, they move out of China and into their local, domestic markets to appease isolationist customers whose children have technical robotic maintenance degrees and no jobs.

Next, I am amazed to tell you, Arizona and Alabama, in a legislative inspirational action accredited to Denmark, set up border patrols and checkpoints along their state boundaries, including roads, sea/river ports, railway stations, IP addresses, cell towers, satellite TV receivers, telephone exchanges and airfields.

In a show of solidarity, 25 states join the immigration embargo, installing facial recognition software in all electrnic devices and facial recognition devices at all border crossings.

Internet-based tax collection soared.

Because Washington D.C. was virtually surrounded by border guarding states, D.C. leaders instituted their own stricter form, forcing members of Congress to scramble to find legal help to clean their homes, cook, and serve as nannies for their kids.

Meanwhile, Jerry Brown broke California in two, offering refuge to all “illegal” immigrants in the new country of Nuevo Angeles.
