"Right to life" depends on your definition OF life. I have little interest in discussing the abortion issue myself. But if you want to open that can of worm's it might be better suited in a separate thread. In a nut shell: I support abortion rights in cases of incest, rape, life threatening issue for the mother and in other extraordinary cases. Very glad I don't have to make those calls!
Back to GM. Seems to me the primary reason for the Gov stepping in was the idea that a standard bankruptcy for GM would have taken to long and emperiled the all ready suffering economy even further. That's why the Gov put a time table on a bankruptcy solution.
I'm not sure the anti-trust regulations go far enough to limit mega corporation growth/size? Perhaps they do. If so, then more stringent application of existing regulations, laws would be the answer. This is one issue that is still be looked at for a long term solution. It will be interesting to see what comes up in that regard.
Razor, were not doomed, it's gonna be OK man, hang in there!
On a side note: That darn Unicorn keeps eating the corn I'm leaving out for the conservaties...
