If the Big Three are not bailed out, I am sure it will take them at least as long to lay off all their workers as it takes for our troops to withdraw from Iraq. During that time, the $25 Billion not being spent to bail them out can instead be used as startup money for new, more appropriate industries that can utilize the same skills as those workers already have to make items that are more useful.

Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love,
to respect and be kind to one another,
so that we may grow with peace in mind.
