If they indeed said, “we will never produce this vehicle again” and they went
ahead any way, you are okay with that???
Maybe this is a Liberal thing. It reminds me of a college professor who ran for
a US senate seat on a platform that he wanted to go to Washington DC for 6 years
(one term) and do his thing.
When his term was up, he was reluctant to not run again, and so he did, but
promising that this for sure was his last term as senator!
He got reelected, but then as his second term was coming to an end, he believed
that his presence in Washington was too important and decided to break his
promise and run for a third term. I’ll stop here and ask you. Do you think
he should have run a third time, even though he promised openly during his
second campaign that this was to be his last term? I’m betting not, because
many Liberals in my state saw nothing wrong with it.
As a footnote: apparently God Himself had a problem with it and decided to
make an honest man out of him after all, because less than a week before the
election the Senator and his wife were killed in a small airplane crash while
doing some last minute campaigning. So it really was his last term afterall....
I strayed OT and will set FU there, but won’t respond in OT forums.
And BTW, that senator was the infamous Paul Wellstone.
