Michael Moore on the Big Three and transit 1

"Transporting Americans is and should be one of the most important functions our government must address. And because we are facing a massive economic, energy and environmental crisis, the new president and Congress must do what Franklin Roosevelt did when he was faced with a crisis (and ordered the auto industry to stop building cars and instead build tanks and planes): The Big 3 are, from this point forward, to build only cars that are not primarily dependent on oil and, more importantly to build trains, buses, subways and light rail (a corresponding public works project across the country will build the rail lines and tracks). This will not only save jobs, but create millions of new ones."

-- Michael Moore, on what to do with the Big Three automakers

    Wrong As Usual

    Hey Mike,
    How about about a follow up movie about how we won in Iraq and now terrorism is at an all time low?
    No, then how about a movie about how people are abandoning the Urbs and remaking America in the wide open spaces...leaving "mass" ideas behind to the 20th century (your favorite...I imagine).
