[Rogue Leader]

Wow I really started a shitstorm here. I appease those that have pointed out that noone is answering to MM's thoughts or actually believe this drivel here are my rebuttals:

Michael Moore, Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker (interviewed on CNN’s Larry King Live, Nov. 23)

I think what has to happen here is that Congress needs to pass some legislation, and our president-elect needs to do what [President Franklin] Roosevelt did.

When Roosevelt came in and when World War II faced the country, Roosevelt said to General Motors and Ford, 'You’re not going to build cars anymore. You’re going to build airplanes and tanks and guns and the things that we need for this war because we have a national crisis.' And so General Motors had to do what Roosevelt told them they had to do.

The same thing has to happen now.

Ok so you are comparing an economic issue to a WORLD WAR where people were dying left and right, and the German war machine (and the Japanese as well) were bent on TAKING OVER THE WORLD. If he didn't enact that power over those companies we faced Annihilation! I'm sorry but there is nothing else to say here because the situations cannot and should never be compared.

President-elect Obama has to say to them, yes, we’re going to use this [bailout] money to save these jobs. But we’re not going to build these gas-guzzling, unsafe vehicles any longer.

We’re going to put the companies into some sort of receivership and we, the government, are going to hold the reins on these companies. And they are to build mass transit. They’re to build hybrid cars. They’re to build cars that use little or no gasoline.

Hey buddy, the gov't dictating what companies do like that is called Communism, and a little country way bigger than this one tried it and it failed miserably (USSR). What he misses here is not everyone gives a shit about the environment, and not everyone wants a hybrid car. They need to build cars people want to buy, thats how a company makes money, and not everyone wants to buy your green car. We have a whole site here one of millions based on cars that wouldn't fall into his guidelines! That is MM's main problem he likes to force his ideals on everyone and he doesn't get that NOT everyone feels the same way he does or believes what he believes! And in counterpoint to his uneducated opinion, American vehicles are NOT gas guzzling or unsafe. However thats his opinion so it MUST be true and you MUST believe it. Thats how MM works.

And — I mean because we’re facing a national crisis — not just an economic crisis, but a crisis of the polar ice caps are melting. There’s only so much oil left under the Earth.

We’re going to run out of that, if not in our children’s time, our grandchildren’s time.

Prove it. He can't. And in reality we won't. There is so much oil under this earth it will be way past our grandchildren before we run out. However we are prevented from getting to it (such as the shale oil in this country alone) by the treehuggers like him who won't let a refinery be built anywhere where a Bald Eagle may on its trip from north to south see it out of the corner of its eye.

Oh and as mentioned here, the Polar ice caps are actually growing right now. Sorry, next!

There’s got to be a plan set up to find other ways to transport ourselves or other ways than using fossil fuels.

Taken out of context I actually agree with this quote. We absolutely should do that, there may be faster and cheaper ways to do it, and sure if they help the environment that would be great too.

In reality I kind of want a Volt, it just looks kind of cool, I like it for the Tech aspect, not the green aspect. Its a novelty to me, and it does show amazing technological progress which is awesome.
