What jumps out at you is that five of the companies are oil companies, four are auto makers and the other is a super store. Don't you think this is rather strange? Isn't it also frightening when you realize that outside of government the business of driving our cars fuels our employment and our economy and Detroit is at the center.

I certainly do, especially when I realize that our government is taking over  management of our lending institutions and will soon do the same thing with the bail-outs of the auto industry. With of course the exception of Korean and Japanese auto makers, who have their base in foreign countries.
