GM, the economy and the environment
by Theresa, Howard, et. al.
November 17, 2008

Thanks Harvey. And BTW: GREAT column.

We have been incensed about this. We watched "Who Killed the Electric Car" right after it came out, and just watched it again last night with my husband's 91 year old father who came to stay for one of his many sojourns from back east. Always a pro-union man, we wanted him to see it, and once again, we were outraged.

Bailing out GM in the name of "our country's best interest" is, in a word, bullshit. They have no compunction, WHATSOEVER, about sacrificing the country's best interest in terms of lining their pockets.

No bailout. UNLESS... they sign an airtight contract ASAP that they will create ASAP energy efficient public transportation that is zero impact on the environment. A hard standard to live up to but... JFK got us to the moon in less than a decade after his pronouncement. We think GM is capable of that.... and MORE. Especially if they can shred energy-efficient automobiles w/o a blink.

Thanks for your voice, your columns, your wisdom...

Keep up the great work,

Theresa, Howard,
And our kids.... Sarah, Izaak and Emm
