Hello Vincent,
Good we agree that it is not a zero sum game. I am sure we agree tat
because of all the inventions and better understanding of things and how
the planet has shrunken, we can feed everybody, we have resources to handle

Hi Lennart,
I don't think I meant to imply that it's a zero sum game either. It is,
however, a highly complex game that takes advantage of the fact that it has
become so damned complicated, and deliberately so. Today few have the capacity
to follow the money to its logical conclusion. IMHO,
I find it interesting to view this entire process as an interesting game in how
humans go about redistributing units of wealth across the planet.
The entire process, the mechanisms currently installed to initiate “wealth
distribution” has become so incredibly convoluted and obfuscated
The original libertarians in the US -- the 1800s frontier libertarians like
Lysander Spooner, understood legitimate government as a mutual insurance
company. An insurance company operating as government would charge an
insurance premium for the protection of property rights. This is

The sheer zeal and thoroughness of GM’s effort to remove all traces of the EV1
from human consciousness tells us all we need to know about their feelings
concerning profits and parts sales. They were forced – kicking and screaming –
into improving car reliability by Japanese manufacturers –
Electric cars in the 90s were only built as a result of the California
mandate. There was no demand for them back then.
Now, with improved technology, and much higher gas prices, a lot of
people are starting to like the idea and the market is becoming viable.

We have already had that disaster. Modern automobiles and parts last longer

Electric cars will be a disaster for sales of parts: spark plugs, mufflers, and
much more. The EV1 debacle was instructive in how far suppression can go as

Perhaps much of the opposition evaporated because many of those prior enemies
may have figured out how to make a profit on the transition to electrics.

these years when it needed us,” said Don Perdue, executive director of the
Wayne County Economic Development Authority, “and then simply saying
