16. I wonder what kinds of prison suits we'll get....jumpsuits or two-piece?

Stripes or Bright Orange?
Cotton or a Polyester Blend?
Do you think it'll be fun like in Hogan's Heros? Or brutal like in Schindler's list?

Of course, I'm being sarcastic. But these people are really starting to freak me out and it kind of makes me wonder what they have planned for us.

8. i'm sorry for being so dumb

but am i the only one who doesn't know what the hell is really going on with this whole deal other than that it really really stinks badly. I see this massive machine in motion that appears that no one can hold back and, right now, i'm completely confused at why this is happening. Is this some sort of blackmail going on? All of the sudden the UAE company gets a top spot and they get 6 of our ports and for what reason to benefit the bush gang? I know it is rotten i just can't find out why, other than some really shady and fukt up stuff is going on....

Someone please enlighten me...
thanx

9. Who owns that company

Do we have a money trail on it yet, initial investors, that sort of thing. Some Bush pioneer has a big chunk of change in it, that's clear.

There is NO United States anymore. Not even US corporations. It's all the New World Order with a handful of fat fucks controlling everything.

This is depressing.
