Ummm, ya think?:lol: You were making extremely broad general statements about entire industries, which you are now saying are solely based on personal testimonial.

When this government took an ownership position in U.S. automakers and banks then it changed the dynamic from a free market to socialism. I am not saying that this country is now a socialistic country, but it is heading very rapidly in that direction.

Sorry, GMAN, but that isn't Socialism. Not even close. If anything, it's Communism, but it's not entirely that either. I'd implore you to read up on the labels you are using, so that you can use them properly.:)
