Just can't help it.
Nothing wrong? Then there is nothing wrong with Enron, Worldcom and whole lot
of other companys. They are "just capitalists"? Swallow all your competition,
create monopoly, then raise prices to pay loans and make huge profits for "Royals".
Thanks to those "capitalists" millions of people lost their retirements.
Never seen a single Vanagon at junkyard with body damage.
Owners just got sick and tired of wasting lots of hard-earned money buying
parts at obscene prices and gave it away.
Ever wander why there are still so many buses on the road?
Drivers don't buy parts from dealers, that's why.
