Beat nobody has seen this in the headlines anywhere in the media! To all you people that support Hondas!! yeah, they have a great car!!
440,000 Honda's Accords & Civics are being recalled due to airbags that may shoot shrapnel into people's faces when deployed -- a potentially lethal defect. One person has already died & 6 others injured. My question is -- where is the press? I know that if this were Ford, GM or Chrysler, this would be in every cover story across the country. The Accord was the # 4 best seller in the United States in 2001 & #5 in 2002. The Camry was the #8 best seller in 2001 and 2002 -- the years being recalled.

I've offered several solutions, but they all involve getting rid of of organized labor and their allies among the Depression era generation who seem to pray at the altar of Franklin Roosevelt.
The states against whom Ohio is competing for jobs and professional population and Federal money for infrastructure and education have (for the most part) Right To Work to legislation on the books and have lower taxes or no state income tax and are generally more friendly to business. Ohio will simply have to man-up and find a way to make it work. The kinds of halfway measures we've seen since the eighties (done in an attempt to make it look as though Columbus is "doing something" when the real intent is to keep from offending certain constituencies) simply won't work any longer.
I like Ted Strickland but he isn't what you need.
Ross Perot is what you need...a screaming, yelling, loud mouth SOB swinging a baseball bat. People said Perot couldn't fix the Texas primary education system back in the eighties and nineties. Perot did precisely that and it formed the underlying foundation of the Texas tech boom that took my wife and I there in 1995.
You CAN do this. You have to.
