To all above,
-I guess I was right, this issue would be of some interest to this forum
-I was a little taken a back that some thought I was either naive ...or stupid ...to be talking about something that was on Glenn Beck's show. I know that some of you are strong left and others strong right ...and others like me -not particularly one way or the other (please don't take that to mean I go both ways :) ).
-But I thought all of us were able to distinguish between messenger and message, ...or at least would try to distinguish between the messenger and the message. I also hoped that we didn't approach this forum with closed minds. If any of us is a one-sided individual, it would still seem prudent to at least listen to what the other side has to say, ...especially if you want your own argument to be cogent and relavant. I was surprised that some were not so disposed.
- The US Government intell agencies have a fairly useful alpha-numeric system to evaluate the veracity of information. The source/message is rated from A (best) to E (worst) and F (don't know). The information/message is rated from 1(best) to 5 (worst) and 6 (don't know). Thus information from Glenn Beck would seem to be treated by some on this forum as E-5, ...and that's OK. HOwever, I have had many occassins to evaluate information as E-1, ..but to do that I had to first listen/read it.
-Reference his video clip: as Mr. Hodga says --it doesn't matter whether it's an individual or a car dealer. I believe the answer should be NO and NO.
- The point I was trying to make in my original post above was that federal government involvement means many strings attached. People should be aware of that, --again the schools, the roads, the universities, etc. In this case, many car dealers during this recession are facing closure or just getting by, so many are willing to give up their personal control to get government money. Some probably believe they have nno choice. History is replete with instances where people have been willing to give up, often incrementally, their freedom in return for security. Sometimes it's necessary; sometimes not. Which is it now?
