    Break Out of the Herd

    This is why government is not supposed to try to manage business, but since they did and now that they have screwed things up, we owe it to ourselves to help out.

    You need to understand the concept of herding if you want to survive this. The entire nation has been herded for decades, by the media and foreign car interests, into believing that the domestic automakers and the union are bad while they have worked their problems out. Now, while we are being herded around in circles, with the same shouts ringing in our years, we can no longer think for ourselves and the gates of the slaughterhouse are opening. We need to break out of the herd and get the facts if we want to survive.
