Only One Life to Lose

The first few years of the Revolutionary War went badly for the Americans. They were short on money, weapons, training, manpower, and leadership. The only advantage the American patriots had over the British “redcoats” was their tenacious desire for freedom. No one teaches us this lesson better than Nathan Hale.

Capitalism Works Its Magic

Long before Washington politicians provide a real answer to high fuel costs, good ole' American capitalism (you know, the greedy kind) may lower the cost of fuel, provide us with greener technology than ever before, and give us a smooth ride along the way.

GM (that's right, a profit-making, non-government organization that shamelessly asks customers to pay for its products) is developing a mostly-electric car that will allow many Americans to virtually eliminate gas pump fillups - and for those that do fillup, to provide 150 MPG economy.

Now, if the government would just leave it alone - get out of the way - we might get our dream car from Detroit.
