I’m sorry you feel like a victim. But, it seems like you went crazy first. If you attack me, I guess I am not big enough to let it lay. You may be the one to teach me to turn the other cheek.

JonP made some comments, which I wholeheartedly support. Somehow, you jumped to a conclusion that JonP would suffer my wrath. I still don’t follow the logic of turning JonP’s comments into an attack on me. Then you finished with some name-calling (”self-appointed censor”). If you tried to discourage name-calling in the forums, then don’t name-call. If you tried to point out some perceived hypocrisy of mine, you failed to elaborate it clearly. What did I say that was hypocritical? Your territorial barking to stifle my comments, with a call for people to speak their minds, sounds hypocritical to me. You are doing yourself a disservice by being so rash.

Can you explain yourself, without anger? Understanding your position would be the first step towards better relations.

p.s., Seperating partisanship from true give-and-take is an important consideration in a debate. Blind partisan rhetoric will not advance us much. It is just one side against another. There is no winning, except through war. We are all in this together. Solutions will occur when reasonable people come to reasonable solutions.

Switzerland subsidizes their people’s car buying and manufacturing as they turn to electric means. Electric cars will be SUBSIDIZED at 50% of the purchase price, and gas cars PENALIZED. Now guess which country has the highest per capita GDP/GNP. Look at our debt burden to add to the realization we’re going in the wrong direction and oil is the primary driver at the wheel these days.

Bring the Volt to my driver. Counting on 40 MPC (miles per charge).

A tax rebate/credit/incentive is a Win for this country no matter how sliced. $7,000 goes into the American made product, and $7,000 doesn’t go overseas for oil addiction. And that $7,000 multiplies many times by the car, thus the individual, thus the country becoming free of the Oil vein of dependency. $400,000,.000,000.00 dollars annually goes overseas to Oil Barons and Sheiks who despise our culture, our values, our form of government, and our people.

CHEVY VOLT: American-made, American-FUELED. Keep the money here.

“Grizzly, With this statement, it is hard for me to say whether we agree or disagree.”

*** *** ****

I agree that statement could have gone any number of ways. Sorry! We’re in TOTAL agreement on this one. Just so you know I don’t always agree with friends.

A tax credit could help get the “ball rolling”, but it should be limited to certain amount of vehicles.

I was proud of you for a while. You stopped calling people names, and you debated ideas – not whether the ideas were “partisan” or not. Then this happened.

Go ahead, do whatever you want. I’m tired of being attacked.

I tried to lighten up the forums with a little humor, now and then. I tried to discourage name-calling in the forums. I tried to point out hypocrisy where I found it. Only one person ever backed me up, and you attacked him, too.

I’m tired. I think I’ll just lurk for a while, perhaps 29 months or more. I’ll just watch the rest of you rip at each other, over the LONG 29 months until the Volt arrives. Should be fun. I’m out.
