Now see this is where ugly rumors get started... like some of the stuff that is going around about universal health care...

The bottom line is that people can still own cars, and use those cars, even GM cars, to drive 'cross country... but they don't actually have to use a car for each and every darn trip. I mean really, do you need a car to transport a whole quart of milk... Do you really need a car to actually move a loaf of bread?

I mean com'on, if you're just going down the street to shoot a game of pool... do you actually have to climb in a 2000 pound vehicle and run that thing for the lousy 1/2 mile that it takes to get to the pool hall?

I think GM will do just fine... as long as they remember that not everyone needs a military transit type vehicle...
