Doug, relocate?
This posting was a fake to begin with. It started as Baja News, which was a cover for "off-topic". It has degraded from there.

Threads morph into other subjects often. Freon just wasn't 'warm and fuzzy' enough I guess. If you want this to die, ask Margie to delete her first
post in this thread or stop replying to it. Let's not bug Doug too much over trivial matters. Managing this forum is time consuming and doesn't pay
well. How many have bought items from Doug's 'tienda', click on the google ads daily, or just sent in a contribution for the great source of
entertainment this web site provides?

But obviously
Doug has the help of David K. to manage this forum so it can't be all that much work.

For the record... David K is not a manager of these

I'm not quite sure why this post was moved to a political line, and I'm not going to remove it.
It is Baja News, there are Americans involved in smuggling this stuff from Baja to the US. they buy cannisters of this stuff at $10.00 a pop and
bring it across the Border and sell it for from between $100.00 to $200.00.
These are not people who you might invision as rough and gang-like, they are, alot of them, just retired joes making big profits off of a harmful
substance.
So, when you are down here and wondering how some people can afford this or that, you'll have a clue as to why.

The Baja News forum states that it is for non-political news items.
The subject here touches on environmental politics, border politics, U.S. politics, Mexican politics, etc.... and has just progressed further in that
direction.
Makes it a pretty simple call to move it over.

Geez Margie
This is old news. And if you know so much about it and rant and rave about it on here, why don't you do something about it if it bothers you?
Almost everyone that has lived down here for a while knows who these people are. Do you?

And the real scoop
Almost every respectable looking gringo that has lived down here for any length of time has been approached to take "things" across the border.
The reason some do this is because the going rate for one trip is around $2000.00u.s. The guys behind it supply you with a brand new car to drive
across, all the paperwork in your name and they cross all the t's. And even dot the I's.
There is obviously good money in it and people still do it regularly. Gringos.
The other side to this is you are sooner or later going to get caught. Guaranteed.
It is against the law and as Margie says, you wouldn't believe the people that are doing it. Cracks me up. Sometimes retirement can be quite
exciting!

Amazing that this subject has gone on for so long.
As stated previously, this is OLD news. I think it
was back in 2000 that I first heard it. No surprise
to me. I've brought across my share of R12 and will
whenever I have a use for it. Although I've brought
it across for others at times, I only charge actual
cost. Guess I'm not yet ready to be a big-time
smuggler.

I was wondering if the entire world still uses R12 (except the U.S. and any other country that bows to the greenies), how can the ban be taken
seriously here? Do the enviros think the air above the U.S. somehow stays within our borders or more importantly the air above R12 users doesn't move?

Dar'iln JR.......
Can we please get off Margies butt? (and can you please get off ours ("gringos") 
We ALL make mistakes), (May God help us) we are only "people" we do the best that we can. The thing is, I know (as I said to MA Humfrevill, on
the phone today) I KNOW ,........I know! If I would have a problem (in Baja, even MeNo would rush to my aid...it's all GOOD)..

FREON
Take a look at the can and see who makes the stuff--You will find that it is the same companies that are no longer allowed to make or sell it in the
U.S. 'cause, you know, we are the 'bad' people of the world. This allows us to pay much for for an inferior product that we are forced to purchase
because we truly wish to save the worlds environment.

On yer arses
I have a feeling that I am not the only one who thinks the way I do. And I also have a feeling that more people are beginning to realize that what I
am saying isn't so far fetched.
As soon as the people in the u.s. start demanding that their tax dollars go to educating their kids and taking care of the elderly rather than
building weapons of mass destruction, and then actually using them wherever they please, I will probably shut up.
There would be no need for all the money being wasted on border security if the parents and schools were doing what they easily could be, raising
responsible, loving children with morals. Like most of Mexico. Buena suerte on that one but it can be done.
As far as margie is concerned, now that her rantings (mostly quotes from others) are hidden away where they belong, I will consider getting off her
case.
But, I've always had this thing for gringas that move to San Antonio ( about as much Mexico as Huntington Beach) who think they are "all that"
because they live in "the Baja". Sorry Jimmy.
Especially ones that pretend to know what they are talking about when it comes to almost every subject.

Good. I don't like you either, I think you are on some kind of a weird control trip and you are easily threatened, especially by women.
I don't pretend to think I know everything about every subject, and I don't come in on a thread and trash it like a little baby having a temper
tantrum, because he isn't getting all his attention.

If that's the way you want to look at it , that's OK. But as far as a Baja related board, go back and look at how many of your posts are Baja
related.
By the way, you have a moco on your moustache.
