We had a superstar politician roll through Michigan during the primaries. He promised we'd get all our automotive jobs back if we just vote for him. He had a plan and everything. Oh really?

Gov. Lee Fisher of Ohio heard of GM's cutbacks in Moraine (1000 jobs lightly toasted) and did the right thing — at least as far as getting re-elected is concerned. Fisher offered GM $56m worth of tax credits and grants to "encourage" The General to crank-out SUVs that nobody wants to buy.</em> Anything to get re-elected I suppose. But this just takes the cake: GMT900 sales are waaaay down and to get re-elected, this guy wants help the workers by making them crank out more? GM showed rare common sense in this case. So Lt. Gov.

I said it, I said it. People need to stop being so naive. I've also said Humans leave things till they get to hard to ignore. Boom, Boom my hypothesis is proving correct. Folks need to get more knowledgeable with laws and policy and the principles behind them. Though, I seem to have become a lot more honest and compassionate since I said those things. I feel sad for my fellow Americans. Its not anyones fault. We Humans are just doing the best we know to be happy. Its a tragedy. Although not the worst. Its also about ignorance and non-humility. I'm definitely angry. ANGRY! Its also excitement. Everything I do is selfish! btw. Lets welcome this exciting challenge, and have sympathy and (detached ie. let go and let live) compassion for our compatriots. Rock n Roll! New challenges ahead!
