Ghost of BiB

Damn. NOW what's Halliburton going to do?

Going back to the ports thingy, just what is supposedly going to get shipped in by container that is such a dire threat? If things are SO bad, why hasn't this been exploited yet? Does anyone here really think that organized terrorists are that stupid? Something horrific is just as likely, if not more so to come over the Peace Bridge. And who runs part of that? Hmmm...... .........Canadians...... Anyone look at the Arab ex-pat population around Toronto?

Can't beat the classics.

I always preferred "Steal This Book". Gotta love old Abbie.

There was a time we referred to them as speed bumps, but that's probably not relevant.

1. I'd need a Ouija board, because he's dead. 2. I really like Rachel Weisz. I understand the dilemma though. But be careful. I had a good idea once and CTM stole it. Now he doesn't even know what the thing does.

WTF??? Way to teach values, Dad. Had they not tracked the tires, mommy and daddy would have sat on this?

OK, let's try another angle here. Where does your "security threat" come from? Sure, anything is possible. Watch 24 or a Harrison Ford movie. Is it a teak paneled office 10,000 miles away? Or is it the docks and yards where things are loaded and unloaded? "Managed" here essentially means who is making the money off it. There are ALREADY people who barely or don't speak English working in ports (and other places) for Domestic-American owned companies. Think about maintenance and cleaning sub-contractors. Truck drivers. Etc. OK, just me being me - but if I wanted to infiltrate terrorist operatives into a port operation, the LAST company I'd use to do so would be an Arab one.

You don't get it. This thing was not only masterminded by Airbus, but part of the plan was to make DPW spend a few billion so we could piss them off by being stupid, giving them an excuse to restrict basing rights. That proves they are all terrorists.

I may be talking out of school here, but there are some fellow posters that have been there, done that. Perhaps some will read this and contact you.

You need to find a softer wall. Beating your head against this one isn't going to do much good. People are making emotional responses here, and at other levels. It's not about reason. Oddly enough, some of these people consider themselves pragmatists.

And the world continues to turn. See? This is nothing more than a conspiracy by Airbus. Just for ***** and giggles, can I see a show of hands of those who have ever been involved in import security?

Didn't H.P. Lovecraft already do something with this? Will it have Rachel Weisz in it?

Whatever it takes. This is an instance where media can actually do good.

And it all fits in a carry-on. We are just, so screwed.

Not waxing nostalgic, just stirring sh-- up. Cable has a sexy voice.

I'm nobody, but we once upon a time were less stupid.

Yes it is. I keep an edge, good scoth is good and can be replaced by so-so scotch, later on with drunks.. And I'm heavilly armed.

Did anyone from the secret inner circle change their name? I've heard mods will do that for you. I don't want to even think about the cost.

I don't care. I've given up on all of you. I have guns, gaskmasks, telephone numbers to people in South America and a bottle of scotch for the boat ride.

I heard the same thing about Big Macs and fries.

I suppose this would be a bad time to discuss revenge (Bin Laden) over national security strategy, as in reshaping the political dynamics of the middle east so that there might not be a future problem.

I'm not celebrating anything. I'm observing how people react to a 21st century.

You still want it? That was "through" Israel not "from" Israel.

Several moons ago, I used to go out catfishing at night a lot when I lived in Kentucky. I had no idea there were coyotes running about, had always thought them a western thing. They were all over the place. That was the eighties, I imagine they might be running our ports now.
