Kerry plans to pay members of the nation guard to inspect cargo entering

our country.

Paying the national guard to protect our ports and boarders, sounds so crazy it just might work.

Kerry is right their are tons of jobs that NEED to be filled. 95% of shipments coming into this company are unguarded, can we please get someone on that?

If you were a forty year old man, out of work, what would you rather do, sell shower curtains in the toilet ilse of Home Depot or inspect crates coming from countries all over the world, which BTW might bring you into contact with real sea captains possibly with parrots and who knows else, and oh yeah, you are gettin paid well and personally protecting the country?

For any lurking freepers, what would you rather do?

I think that walking around and talking to pirates is a way cooler job, and if it pays well that only helps our economy because those people will have a job and in turn be spending their money in the country they are paid to protect.

The dignity in saying that you protect the country is payment in itself, that is some thing that middle class men and women don't have at the moment.

Tell me again why Bushco is not doing this, oh yeah his buddies at Halliburton and GE deserve all our defense money.

I think that Kerry did a very good job tonight, I appauld he and his team on a job well done.

It had a different title before it got moved from GD, so I don't know if your post changed too, or not.

Apart from that, I don't think talking to pirates would be all that cool; pirates, by definition are criminals, and rather than chatting them up, I would hope that port/cargo inspectors would be arresting them, and seizing their cargo and/or ships.

On the main point, I do think a job providing some level of support for national security would be preferable to selling shower curtains at Home Despot.
