Our destiny to be a force for good or evil is based on the choices we

All the wackos are into that, besides posting their failed trash
philosopies in inappropriate newsgroups.
Only chance to for them find somebody to talk to.
That would be you.

That's working well in Japan! Only twenty years of
stagnation and morass so far. More spending and more
taxation should lead to growth and wealth any decade now.

Yeah, it's like me personally making $20k a year and running up $20k of
debt, then thinking that if I only run it up to $40k, the blue bird of
prosperity will come back to me at last!

Right!

The price of this pipe dream is a nightmare. $20,000 over an equivalent
gasoline car? Are you kidding.....do you know how much gas you can buy for
$20,000? Just buy the lower priced piece of crap and if it breaks....throw
the sucker away and buy a new one.
Or buy a Toyota to begin with....
