27. I never said that
Nice way to put words into my mouth.

Maybe you feel the way you do, but I'm sorry, if a chinese company had been doing the buyout, it would have gotten a post in Latest Breaking News, with maybe 10 posts on it, at least one or two of them for the deal as it would extend democracy to china, and then it would have been gone.

For most poeple the main reason this 'woke them up' to who is controlling our ports, was a racist thought, which was 'arab company controlling ports bad'.

I'm not saying that I don't want secure ports. I've been calling for better port security since before 9/11. I'm just saying this recent hullabaloo was mostly instigated by people's generalizations that Arab companies are more dangerous than others. If you can't see that, then shame on you.
