In the 1990s, General Motors leased out a number of electric cars that travelled 300 miles on a charge, could be fully charged in an hour, and could be operated for the equivalent of 60 cents per gallon.

    No oil filters, no oil changes, no emissions, no trips to the gas station.

    So what did they do?

  When it became apparent the marketplace actually wanted these cars,  they did their little bit for worlds ecology , rounded them all up and destroyed them .

  This is not a not a conspiracy theory. This is what actually happened.

  Now “General Motors” are broke and bleating to the Govt. for a hand out.

  If it weren’t for the thousands of workers who would suffer,  Obama should let em rot.
 

                  d.d.

The reason why General Motors and the rest of the big producers of gas-guzzlers have gone broke is that nobody wants their cars. However, like most American big business, they tend to ignore what the public is telling them and pursue a line of ‘more of the same’. Toyota and Honda, who produce small cars, are not going broke in America and have quite a healthy balance sheet.

So what is this bail-out going to do for the American car industry? Keep them going till they have spent it all and amassed a huge stockpile of redundant cars, and then they will be back agian with their begging bowls. Possibly if they distribute them evenly, they will be able to be used as houses for all those who lost their homes to the other big fiasco that is demanding bail-outs - the banks and the stock exchange.

Did anyone ever see the film Soylent Green? New York’s population of 56 million mostly slept in old rusting cars after the oil had run out, and they were all given bail-outs! Thursday, I believe, was Soylent Green day.

Sorry but I wasn’t trying to sledge the poor, humble car. I know the picture might indicate otherwise but my aim was man’s industry (generic). Man attempts to imitate the beauty of nature but usually destroys it in the process. This was also the theme of ‘The Scream’ cartoon - doodling the craft of a living forest.
