you are all wrong. they (we) should take gm and use it to build all the post office vehicles and police cars. then the profit that now goes to the gougers would return to the u.s. treasury. worried about socialism? don’t worry. be happy.
why should the government take only the ‘loser’ functions like schools and police and fire? if you think you won’t have a chance to start up that widget factory and make a mint, you are wrong again. there will always be someone who wants to buy a widget and a religious icon or graven image.
also keep in mind that the september 11 hijackers were true believers in some kind of god. how much of that bleeep is enough?
