Len:

My opinion is based on personal experience with Detroit's offerings, their delerships and those dealership's employees. I thought some of those experiences might have been because of my youth, so decided to give Detroit another shake in 2003. That experience was no better than those in my younger days. If my opinions now, based on those experinces, make me a bigot as you define the word, I'm guilty as charged.

When I was a Ford stockholder, I did vote management out. Obviously, I was in the minority.

You have much more skin in this outcome than I do, Len. I'll chalk up you getting personal to your situation. If it's worth anything, it's not that I'm not empathetic to you, your family and thousands of others in the same boat, but I have little simpathy. I see more harm than good coming from government help in this case.
