UAE Port Deal: 21 US ports, not 6

This came out a few days ago from UPI, which is a wire service owned by Reverend Sun Yung Moon's Unification Church (the church that says God has replaced Jesus with Sun Yung Moon). The same UPI that Helen Thomas left when it was taken over by the Rev. But anyway, sometimes they come up with good stories and here is one, written by Pamela Hess, UPI's Pentagon Correspondent, entitled "UAE terminal takeover extends to 21 ports", and posted at:

"A United Arab Emirates government-owned company is poised to take over port terminal operations in 21 American ports, far more than the six widely reported."
. . .

"P&O is the parent company of P&O Ports North America, which leases terminals for the import and export and loading and unloading and security of cargo in 21 ports, 11 on the East Coast, ranging from Portland, Maine to Miami, Florida, and 10 on the Gulf Coast, from Gulfport, Miss., to Corpus Christi, Texas, according to the company's Web site."

Today I only managed to wake up in time for McLaughlin Group, and they were still talking about 6 ports - so which is it, 6 or 21?

It's a Good Thing that South Dakotians are a Very Wealthy People

According to an article in the Argus Leader of Sioux Falls, SD, titled "House sends abortion bill to Rounds", written by Megan Myers and Terry Woster, linked here:

http://www.argusleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060224/NEWS/60224007/1001

"As the South Dakota House of Representatives gave final approval today to a bill aimed at banning most abortions and creating a U.S. Supreme Court challenge to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, Gov. Mike Rounds said he’s inclined to sign it."

This bill does not allow abortion for rape or incest. That means more kids in South Dakota. According to "South Dakota Department Of Health Selected Health Statistics, 2003-2004", found at

http://www.state.sd.us/doh/Stats/vstats.htm

there were 680 abortions in SD in 2003 and 670 in 2004. If abortion is outlawed in SD and the new Roberts court, with Alito at right guard, confirms, then there will be, say, 650 unaborted kids a year to have to deal with. THAT IS EACH YEAR. The incest babies will be too feebleminded to be of use to anyone (see most of the British royal family and parts of rural West Virginia), and will have to be cared for by the taxpayers, even if only for costs associated with their "special education". The babies that would have been aborted due to birth defects will be born with said birth defects (such as being born with no brain, with the heart outside the body, etc.) and surely the parents will sign away parental rights on such babies, which tend to be highly expensive for their short, painful, miserable lives, leaving the taxpayers of South Dakota to pay for the high cost of these babies. A lot of the male children of rape will have two Y chromosomes instead of the usual one Y chromosome, because a lot of rapists have two Y chromosomes and men pass down the Y chromosomes to their offspring. Men with two Y chromosomes have violent, psychopathic, antisocial personalities (see, for instance, "Aggressive behaviour, Sub-normality and the XYY Male" in the journal Nature in December 1965 by Patricia Jacobs and colleagues). These unwanted children, even if taken care of by their mothers at first, will be in jail by the time they're 10, once again being paid for by the taxpayers. Then there will be some normal kids, who won't cost the taxpayers quite as much to raise, but still more than if they weren't here to begin with. It sure is a good thing that South Dakotians are a very wealthy people, because they'll need a lot of money to deal with all those kids.
