Reply #135: You don't have any idea how 1000's feel or not

all you know is what one guy who made a movie thinks. You have no experience with the actual car or the actual people who drove them. I have no doubt their experiences are all individual and I have no doubt there were more than a few wanting to purchase the car (and my friend did as well). HOWEVER, there are so many different reasons why a car company would demand it's prototype back rather than sell it that have absolutely nothing to do with being in the pocket of big oil. In fact, designing the car in the first place would never have happened if GM were in the pocket of big oil.

You are certainly entitled to your viewpoint but I personally cannot relate in any way to a viewpoint that says if capitalism had left the prototypes out on the road that is good and capitalism that pulled them back in is bad. From my way of thinking that is talking around in circles. I have plenty of problems with capitalism as we know it - at least as far as global corporations are concerned. But I am certainly at peace with my place in it and my own personal quest to leave the best behind on this planet that I can - whatever that might be. If you think I am somehow naive or stupid or disingenuous or whatever, that's fine. All I am saying to you is that my experience with this particular subject gives me a far different viewpoint.
