Ford and GM

I think Ford and GM are in a conundrum. Even if they make the finest cars, they are pigeonholed. Where might you ask? Into making junk. Yes in the past they hadn't tried. But that is long in the past. How do you crack that perception?

As they are doing. Making the absolute best they can and continue each year to strive for better. And, I do agree with many that they should offer better warranties!

Here is a little spin. I would cut advertising in half (we all know they can use the money) and with the other half of the money, do comparisions with the competition. Let CR know where the bear does it in the buckwheat.

A. Lincoln and Suffering

During the Civil War there is no doubt Lincoln suffered immensely! The pain this poor president endured is really up for conjecture.

That said, any time, and I mean any and all the time, when Lincoln came across a chance to do a good deed for anyone how small or large he did it. I think he did it for two reasons. One was that it was a God given Gift. Second, because Lincoln knew it would in some way, directly or indirectly, remove or stop any suffering the pain the person he helped was or would have. It also gave Lincoln a modicum of peace and goodwill which might decrease his suffering if only for a moment.
