Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Are Ferraris Losing Their Good Looks?

[Steve Cook (stevec]

That seems odd, when there were more murders in Chicago than soldiers
killed in Iraq this year.  (418 in Chicago vs. 281 in Iraq)

If he organized that community, I'd hate to see how he organizes Iraq!

Additionally, I think more lives are SAVED with the US there...

I figured Obama's tax paln plan would raise my taxes (voted my wallet
for 
years), but if saves just 1 life from this mess in Iraq it is/was worth
it.
911 was failure of the 1st job of  Federal Govt (thought it was failure
of 
Clinton policies).
Both parties have missed the boat.
Watching Bloomberg channel the other day, the guest was saying GM's
problem 
goes back to Roger giving the unions what they wanted. Seems no body
takes 
responsibilty for not making car
people want. Yes, even today Toyota's sales are down, but I GM had
Toyota's 
maket share, in a couple of years when the unions pick up the health 
benefits, Roger's deal would be viewed in a different light.
Not a union man, but a deal is a deal.
