They allowed Chrysler to pick and choose whom to destroy, then why doesn't the government print out some money and bail out those lost franchises? That would give them time to purchase other franchises from some other car manufacturer (foreign) and keep Americans at work.

>>Come on, Mike. That kind of demonizing and stereotyping is not useful. It's the copout of people far less smart than you. (On both sides, so please don't take this as a partisan rant).

>Is it though? It seems democrats only care about fairness when it meets their agenda. For example, "fairness" to illegal immigrants, "fairness" to failing businesses, "fairness" to poor families. What about fairness to our children regarding the huge debt to be paid off? You don't hear Olbermann talking about that. How about fairness to me to keep the fruits of my labor rather than redistrubuting it? (projection, I know, but if you don't think taxes are going to skyrocket to pay for these programs then you're crazy) How about fairness to me to be able to live my life the way I want to, and raise my children the way I want to, without the government intefering or vocal liberals calling me a gun-toting redneck?

I would never call you a gun-toting redneck.

You're rolling now, and I have to leave for the New Orleans airport soon, so I will disengage.

Last partially typed brilliant point <g> stricken in lieu of a lighter note. We can all do with that. At the first or second WhilFest a bunch of us congregated in the lobby of the downtown Milwaukee Hyatt, where the conference was held, to go out to dinner. We were all there and ready to head out the door. Someone -- I want to say it was Tom Piper but could be mistaken -- got into a long amiable conversation with someone who had wandered into the lobby, wherewithals unknown. From the background Doug Hennig said with a laugh, "Do not engage him. Disengage! Disengage!" That was just so hilarious and we all cracked up.
