Really? I've never heard that. How do you eat hemp? Like a typical green leaf, or does it need to be prepared in some way?

But Radar, the government has so little land to spare.

Go HERE and read Chapter 8. In fact read all the chapters.

Other than hempseeds, cannabis is great in baked goods, lollipops, and plenty of other things.

How bad are GM products? What happens when a company stifles innovation for 30 years, hypes "Buy American", gets the naive to buy a 1995 technology car in 2008 - and praise it ... A GM stock investor now must go back to 1955 to see his capital investment increase. GM stock price reflects how bad GM reliability, design intelligence, and fuel economy really are. GM market capitalization is now so low - a paltry $6.5 billion - that even Sun Microsystems is worth more.

Buy GM; sell off its buildings and machines. Reap a profit. GM products suck that much. Is an investment opportunity approaching as GM stock drops to where it should have been 15 years ago?

How did we know this problem existed in GM? Their management (who don't have driver's licenses) joined the mental midget in touting hydrogen as a fuel. Anyone with access to any science knew hydrogen as a fuel was as real as Saddam's WMDs. Flex fuel vehicles? More hyped nonsense. GM getting as good as Toyota and Honda – the propaganda only six months ago? More lies.

GM management are bean counters - business school graduates - don't know anything about cars. Management so stupid as to even hype hydrogen as a fuel. That irrefutable fact – the hydrogen claim – said GM products were that bad.

That irrefutable fact visibly identified GM as a major reason for America's excessive energy consumption. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.

The only GM investor who reaped a capital profits is one who bought GM stock in March 1955 because GM products suck. How can that be? Six months ago, GM was touting ‘competitive with Honda and Toyota’? Well GM does these same lies about every five years – and so many consumers believe it for the same reason they believed Saddam had WMDs. Look at the products. Cobalt, G-6 given away by Oprah, Suburban, Volt, Hummer - all crappy products – and no innovations in the GM innovation pipeline.

Is a great investment opportunity approaching? Buy GM cheap. Get rid of their only problem. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Only then do we start addressing the reasons for higher energy prices. GM is an example of the problem that also exists in other American industries, government, and consumers.

Even equivalent Hondas got better mileage 20 years ago than they do now. The reason is tighter emissions controls.
