I find it hard to believe a lot that you post, this included.

As much as I would like to see Toyota exhonorated, I think they have a
problem, be it floor mats or sticky accelerator pedals.

And until the oil spill was a nightly feature on NBC Nightly News.

I don't know why Brian Williams took such glee in reporting night after

And that is totally against how this country came to be. We didn't
used to be a bunch of pantywaists that saw competition and said
"wahhh, mr. government, please hinder that company because we suck and
refuse to improve"....

good to see you again
