If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won't go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself.

Dismantling the machinery of destruction is thus a practical act of love that we can all join in. Please join us - together we are unstoppable.
I don't need a reason to kill myself-I need a reason not to.
