Are the American automobile manufacturers ever going to wake up?

After witnessing the collapse of the GMC, and large amputations of the jobs in Ford, we must learn something.

The former head of Nissan's engineering team said after the fall of GMC, "the American automobile industry failed to listen to what the consumers demand."

Sure, our flashes are being eaten off by the Japanese and other foreign autos, but I do not see any sign of getting better.

Will the perfect storm come to the U.S. automakers? Will the Americans see the major fall of the American auto industries, significantly affecting our economy and bring the nightmare? (well, we are sort of having the nightmare already...)

Will the Americans get up from the comfort zone? Or will we change after the horrible events wake us up? Or will we fall into the deep, unwakeable sleep forever?

I want to hear what you think.

With all the technology that has developed in the last 100 years, why have we not found an alternative to the combustible engine? Or an alternative fuel that comes from an abundant source and is regenerable? If we stop using oil and gasoline, there will be no money to purchase guns, rockets, etc. By not finding other means, we are supplying the very ppl who try to destroy us. So what can we do to stop them?

As far as I can tell, radical Islam is the only so-called religion which advocates suicide, homicide and genocide. It even violates the ancient, mainstream Islamic principle of offering an "infidel" a choice between "Islam or the sword," because radical Islam advocates the killing of non-Muslims before they have even been offered this choice. Isn't radical Islam more like Nazism on steroids, since it claims God's sanction? Please tell me radical Islam in America does not enjoy tax exempt status! Is the IRS looking into this as minutely as they examine the tax returns of the rest of us, the meek suckers who pay our taxes without so much as a peep, let alone a constant stream of murderous vitriol?

Do you think those guys really were just planning to make profit, or do you think they planned on blowing up the bridge?

The Jews claimed victory so i was wondering if there was any word? The media showed a map and Hezbollah was still holding the high hills and valleys near the border.

Can any one tell me why people are soooo damn nosy? Why do people feel like they always have to give an opinion when it does not concern them? Or why is the freeway always stop and go and there are no damn lights to stop the cars? What the hell are these people looking at?

You can weight the situation of the pilot industry and say it's easy to choose. But assuming it picks up, I'm trying to decide between being a pilot (less risk) living a little bit more in life, not worrying about the big paycheck....as opposed to business which to me means more stress and not as much of a life. any suggestions on which path? i'm leaning more towards being a pilot for the commericals.

It seems to me a lot of the current chaos in the world has been as a result of people who follow the Muslim faith, be it extreme fundamentalist or whatever. From their actions, they show they are following the Devil rather than God and seem they would be better off believing in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny at least no one would get hurt.

Or maybe it's swine flu, avian flu, west nile virus, lime tick disease, flesh eating virus or killer bees. How do I know which media frenzy has gotten the best of me? Oh wait, it's a pedophile online trying to get into my pants.

What are they thinking??? I think this whole thing is just a media scare to get the public to quickly comply and go along with any other stupidity the government can think of next! Are we going to sit here and get spoon fed crap or will we live our lives the way we should!?

If the possible threatening liquids at the airports are truly explosive, why are they emptying them out in the same bin?? It'll go off right there in the airports!! This is ridiculous, I tell you. We need to open our eyes and really analyze the news before we can absorb its non-sense material. Something just doesn't make sense here!

The population of the world has been always increasing and the earth is a host to more than 6.5 Billion people now. Overpopulation brings a whole lot of problems such as food shortages, lack of healthcare, not enough resources to go around, poverty, etc.
How should we tackle this important issue so our future generations can live in peace, stability, and prosperity?
