So, some government intervention in the form of higher CAFE standards wouldn't have helped this situation at all? The auto makers (at least American) would be in much better shape if the government could have provided the leadership that Detroit sorely lacks. This isn't a market victory - the market is barely limping over the finish line, years after the race concluded.
If industry can't provide sound leadership, government is the only other alternative. The masses certainly aren't fit to lead.
And after that, we'll all be forced to go see the movie "Kinderstart, the Movie", which will be followed by "Kinderstart, the Movie, the Ride". America - you lied to Kinderstart when focus groups said that they liked the Kinderstart concept (which I can't immediately see from their website...)
He came to speak at a music store where I was working in Chicago about 10 years ago that sold Theramins. I knew a little about what he'd done, but didn't really grasp the bredth of his life and experiences at the time, which is probably good, because I just had a normal conversation with him in the storage room about soup and travelling in Africa. I recall that he was not afraid to pass gas audibly in front of you, which was somehow almost endearing, when juxtaposed with his candor. He was interesting to talk with and kinder than I expect someone with his fame to be.

IE sure is doing a good job with the site (seriously) - have you considered the virtues of proprietary software lately?
