1) Think About It [by Anonymous Citizen on December 13, 2007]“you just try to open up a grocery store, or a restaraunt, or a bar, or a gun shop, or a barber shop. you just try to start a taxi service, or a bus line, or a limosine service. you just can't do it.”
One of the first lessons and skills successful entrepreneurs master is to ditch defeatist attitudes and pessimism. They believe in the old ditty:
“E-liminate the negative /
Ac-centuate the postive /
And don’t mess with Mr. In-Between.
And it doesn’t a $500,000 nanny-state subsidy to learn it, either.

the first sheet metal plant moved to mexico. it was a ford plant. it matched the ones in europe, and brazil.
shortly after that, all three of 'the big three' made a deal with mitsubishi (the guys that built the japanese 'ZERO' aeroplane) to have them provide wiring harnesses.
since then, there has not been one completely 'american made' automobile on the market. so, why whine now when the automobile industry is about to flee the state for 'greener pastures'?
why didn't we 'see it coming' sooner? the truth is, we did, but we all clung to the hope that the 'big three' would 'do the right thing' and pull us through these bad times.
we were all duped.
now, we have to do what we did BEFORE the big three. FIND OTHER JOBS. if we can't find other jobs, maybe we need to CREATE other jobs...
but wait... we can't do that, as the laws of this state are 'tuned' to the automobile industry and are very ANTI-BUSINESS to any venture that doesn't provide shiny new cars.
