		<description>Ferrari Man,

I&#039;m merely making a point that I find your concern with hotrods shallow.  I think we&#039;ve got bigger fish to fry than worrying about your dreaded &quot;econoboxes.&quot;  
Got a problem with it?  Then respond to me---don&#039;t whine to the moderators.
I have nothing against you, personally.  But I do believe that excess American consumerism and worship of (and lust for) material things such as automobiles cripples us as a society and as a planet.  Before you hit the red button again, RESPOND to my criticism or give it up.

Sincerely,
BHL</description>

		<description>When I used to work as a low-wage peon for a service call center partly owned by GM, 1-2 times a year, we would be given a special briefing about voluntary letters to write to Congresspeople (on company computers during the worktime) protesting any CAFE standards extension to SUVs,vans, etc. 
We were given all sorts of quotes by GM bigwigs to parrot...
When several of us asked what additional pay for these additional duties was going to be given, they stopped the practise at work &amp; asked us to do it at home...
We never heard anything more after someone left the anonymous comment in the cafeteria, &quot;Let the GM bigwigs who believe such nonsense do the dirty work of lobbying blatant lies...That&#039;s why they pay themselves millions, while we get pennies for trying to do an honest job here...&quot;</description>

		<description>You know, Ferrari Man, I&#039;d probably find it fun in some way to dynamite the hell out of a mountain to get some coal.  But if I thought about it, I&#039;d probably realize that in the long run it&#039;s a bad idea.  
So, I have come up with some suggestions to help you overcome your car lust.  

1. Take up bobsledding or luge
2. Play video games (I&#039;m guessing you already do that)
3. Start volunteering with patients in respiratory therapy
4. Go visit the Arctic next summer on a helicopter tour and look for drowning polar bears
5. Get a free sample of Extenze (I saw it on TV last night) 
6. (And this will come naturally with time) Graduate from high school---life changes after that, and so do your priorities

With love,
BHL</description>

		<description>What the Big 3 need to do is move into the 21st century. Just like the GOP, the Big 3 are still using a 20th century mindset.  They should have stepped up their game, when we started allowing foreign cars in this country, but they were to full of themselves to see that they were being outflanked.</description>

		<description>Let me get this straight. They GIVE money to the rich, the ones who got us into this mess. No strings attached, go get massages, merge with other banks, DO NOT LEND money.

Now, Main Street needs to hang on to jobs and they are told they MIGHT get a LOAN, IF they can write an essay on how they can become the opposite of what they always have been.

To add insult to injury, you have Bozo&#039;s like Romney who say it is the fault of the Union! Exactly how did the Union members get the Big 3 to make incredibly poor and wasteful choices for decades?</description>

		<description>Excuse me, but it is the LACK of higher CAFE standards that is precisely responsible for the mess U.S. automakers suddenly find themselves in.

Backlogged with *fleets* of gas-guzzling SUV&#039;s that no one wants as gas prices soared and pollution becomes a greater concern to Americans, the lack of higher CAFE standards and Government mandates is *exactly* why they are in this mess.

Clinton Administration had them. Bush repealed them.

Can anyone say, &quot;&lt;strong&gt;DEREGULATION&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;?

(&lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.bi30.org/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Some 45+ MPGs cars you may not know about.&lt;/a&gt;)</description>

		<description>They don&#039;t need CAFE standards, they need MIL SPECS!  

1.) build engines that can replace engines
a.) For running on hydrogen splitters (e.g. resistant to rust)
b.) For running on Bio
c.) For running on Electricity
d.) For running on Alcohol

2.) any new cars, trucks built must be
a.) fast
b.) cheap
c.) not stupid looking
d.) easy to fix

3.) Safety
a.) adding thousands of pounds is not an option
b.) if the fuel powering the vehicle is sustainable and free, then weight can approach infinity.

4.) Perks
a.) no more
b.) sell the jets
c.) travel coach

5.) Profit
a.) no stock
b.) the people (taxpayers) own the machines (We already paid $25 billion for it) 
c.) if china want&#039;s to buy them they buy the ideas, not the machines.
d.) no part of the machine will be dis-assembled and sold to a foreign country.

6.) Discipline
a.) rehire labor that already worked there
b.) ban foreign visa&#039;s
c.) CEO&#039;s are gone. PERIOD. 
d.) Public oversight, Open Books, Transparent Value

7.) Technology
a.) Tesla Motors
b.) Hydrogen Technology (NOT THE STORAGE TANK SHIT)
c.) Alcohol
e.) Electrical
f.) Start-ups that have good ideas are to colaborate</description>
