Historical facts concerning the birth pangs of our country's railroad system, and the comparisons alluded to in the current auto industrial situation are indeed interesting. These are facts worth knowing and pondering over since we may soon witness history repeating itself on a similar issue - regrettably.
With that said, describing Mr. Lutz's at the beginning of this particular discussion thread as an individual who does not seem to know when he should have apologized for previous statements made, and then not shutting up is: an opinion. Stating that Lutz & Co. really haven't the slightest interest in the environmental cause is an expressed opinion as well, even if a lot of the facts given to back up that opinion are, to say the least, damning. That is why I stated previously if Lutz & Co. continue to do what he claims GM is planning on doing, I personally don't care what his personal opinions might be. Perhaps the real question we should be asking ourselves is: Will Lutz & Co. keep their word in spite of what their true opinions might be. Or will they allow their real opinion of the situation to continue driving a stake into their coffins. The cited facts were far more interesting. thanks for sharing them Jed. I learn a lot from your historical knowledge. With that said, I suspect I'm in general agreement with many of the opinions that have been expressed in this thread. But that's just my opinion. ;-) Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
