Failure Is Not An Option

This reader finds it a bit disingenuous when the writer states that if Detroit and the uaw try to compete with the companies that produce the best cars, it's a race to the bottom. I think the teacher unions claim the same when any attempt is made to introduce measures that allow our kids to compete with countries that do education better. I think the writer would garnish more credibility if he were to simply be honest and say that he does neither like nor want competition.

Apparently they DO take us for fools

Up North,

If gas were 2.00/gl and the economy were good, the 'cars nobody wants' would continue to fly out the showroom doors.

The big 3 are guilty of plenty, but producing cars the marketplace doesn't want isn't one of them. In fact the opposite could be said: One reason GM got in trouble is they tried to produce too many different types of cars. The Obama administration obviously agrees as they are forcing GM to drop brands.

No such thing as man made climate change. Simply an excuse to introduce a global tax. How much should it be?

Brian,

I've read your posts in the cybersurveys. You always communicate in a direct and easy fashion. Possibly it's a job made easier because you are always logical and make sense. Glad to see you are writing a blog now.
