Why, yes. You are correct. A further benefit was realized when I closely examined a topographical map following the reading of your comment. Flooding to the degree our nations southern border from sea to shining sea, the breadth of which would require the abilities of only those having Olympic qualification to cross, would be the result. A number easily addressed by the deployment of a low number of personnel resulting in a huge saving of national treasure. Hmm. I’ll uncap a bottle of Dos Equis in an effort to promote the ice melt through CO2 release and consider further. Would you care to contribute while we wait?
If you bring the beer, I will bring the bottle opener...
