Automakers sue over California's tough vehicle-emmisions rules

Jerks. They should have to live in LA during the summer... maybe then they'll rethink that suit.

Classic Corporate Fascisism -

http://www.tompaine.com/print/a_citizens_independence_movement.php

Corporate America has WAY too much power. I'm not against capitalism, that's not the issue, the issue is that when corporations own the media and run the government, who's going to keep the corporations in check?

When they think they can tell an entire state to bugger off, that's a bit scary.

Well..umm..hate to break it to you..but they already run the entire planet. They own just about every government, and do pretty much anything they please...

They're probably not trying to kill us (they'd have no customers left), but Detriot Automakers have a history of dragging thier feet when it comes to new regulations. It probably cuts into thier bottom line a bit, which would make any multi-billion dollar corporation upset.

I hope the boards of directors of these companies all die in their sleep from carbon monoxide poisioning.
