Laogaiguk: when I went to high school we had to study one year of world history, one year of U.S. history, and one year of U.S. govt.
My govt class surveyed the Constitution, read the Federalist Papers, looked at the workings of the three branches of govt, the bureaucracy, the press, political parties and PACs, and we followed the presidential election that year, too.
Pretty sure it's standard in every state. I guess it is designed to produce responsible voters and taxpayers.

We don't have something like that in Canada (well atleast out east). We should. |

| Anyways, while I have no fondness of Islam, the Dubai company is a company, and for them profits are foremost. Also, the Coast Guard and the Dept. of Homeland Security would still be in charge of security. I don't really care who profits from the actual possession of the equipment. In fact, the incentives may be so that the ports would actually be safer should they own them, due to the increased awareness of the porous nature of the ports and the microscope the company would be under. |
Is a Muslim owned company more or less likely to be infiltrated by Jihadists, or Jihadist sympathisers than say, a UK company, and is giving it control over a US port not even a teeny bit risky? |

Anyway, can't you disagree without suggesting that there's something wrong with my intelligence?
If I ever suggested that about you, show me where in a pm and I'll apologize. |
Relax, just kidding around there. |

China "Owned" US Port to "Host" Chinese Submarines in L.A. Harbor

Senator Allard,
We have been asked to sign a "Breach of Security Petition", sent to us by Jonathan Moseley, Exec. Director of the "U.S. Seaport Commission, PO Box 921, Frederick , MD 21705. The Petition states that the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO) and the Red Chinese have a base of operations at Pier J in Long Beach, CA. Cosco plans to operate modern "Tusunami Class" submarines, which can enter L.A. Harbor at Pier J and threaten the National Security of the U.S. The Petition demands that the 109th Congress pass Legislation to restore Pier J to U.S. control at once. Allowing the Red Chinese Army to operate at Pier J has breached the security of the USA.
We are VERY concerned about this. Why would China (COSCO) need submarines in their cargo fleet!!! Do they want to park them at pier J on America's own west coast!
