Duck, I couldn't agree with you more. Chapter 11 isn't
permanent. It
allows for "reorganization" which is exactly what the auto industry
needs to do right now. Revise business plans, products and
re-negotiate the union contracts under the watchful eye of a
bankruptcy
judge.

Handing them a pile of taxpayer money, calling it a government
"investment" just to keep them in business under their current
organizational structures won't do a damn thing.
I agree.

Tough call. I don't like these bailouts, but can we afford not
to? In this country, 1 in 10 jobs are connected to the auto
industry. If the auto companies fail, we're talking depression,
not recession. All of this, could get real scary, real quick.

Busting the unions should be a requisite part of any bailout plan.
Otherwise they will be back again in a few years looking for
another handout. It's time we earn from our mistakes and stop
repeating them.


This from a guy whose career highlight was cleaning the heads aboard
a navy ship?

We used to send numb-nuts like you all over the ship looking for
replacements for burned out headlights.


No, you didn't. I wasn't dumb enough to get drafted, or, in lieu of
that, join up, so I could kill Asians who were not threatening my
country.

I don't think there is person reading this news group that isn't aware
of your cowardice. Why do you keep bringing it up?


Tell me, Jim...what sort of "bravery" is required to go off to a country
not threatening ours, and bomb, shoot up and otherwise destroy it?

I don't owe you an explanation.
I just can't understand you boasting about being a coward. And then
repeatedly reposting it. Get over it.

Must be something to it. He thought John Kerry was a big hero because he
supposedly 'earned' all those medals in Vietnam.

But I believe your measure of HK's character is spot on.

Tell that to some who have served in Viet Nam or Iraq. Or any other ground
war.

Their thoughts are that the troops do/did not exhibit bravery?

There are a lot of guys who served in Vietnam who think our activities
there were the height of stupidity. I know a couple of them. You think
that is funny or my remarking on it is funny? One of them left a leg
there. Hardy har har.

What's the word ...... "Whoooose"?

I shouldn't have snipped the comments made before your cute little quip I
guess.
By itself, it loses it's meaning.
