GM's New mini-Car

GM's answer to $4.00/gallon gas:
GM may bring the production version of the Chevrolet Beat to the U.S., people familiar with the plan said. The car, which would normally be reserved for markets such as Asia and Latin America, gets as much as 40 miles a gallon, a fuel efficiency topped in the U.S. only by hybrids.
Notice how the answer always seems to be a smaller and smaller car? Pretty soon they'll be so small you can't get your family in them - which is a very good thing - since they will actually be tiny little featherweight deathtraps trying to share the open highway with those 60-70 ton rigs flying along at 80mph plus.


Is the above photo(not the GM Beat) a harbinger of our transportation future in America? Where do you put the kids?

Oh, I forgot... Modern American couples don't want kids. For them a pill is a much better solution than a car that seats four.

Wait, wait.... below is a possible solution. Stuff the kids into that huge 36" high camper.


Notice those mountains? I'll just bet this little car/camper combo tore up those mountain roads at a blistering 8-10 mph, only having to stop to cool down that teeny little overworked and overheated engine two or three times... maybe four.

Notice the woman? She's a lot thinner than your average American female, who topped the scales at 162.9 pounds back in 2002, and who today might not be able to get into one of these little putt-putts.

We need to be having fewer kids. This planet can't support 7 billion people which we are headed for at the moment. By 2050, we will be at 9 billion. Earth is groaning under our mass.

Fact: The white race - never a majority race - is having fewer kids, so don't blame the supposed white American "majority" for the population problem.

The population of the white race, never more than an estimated 8 percent of the worlds total, is plummeting, so look elsewhere to point the blame.

You can go to the CIA factbook on world population and get the numbers.

It takes bit bit of time to ferret out the real numbers, since the PC crowd refuses to openly discuss population based by race.

But the answers are all there.

And remember - when y0u start counting by area or nation - Mexicans are not white. Neither dot-on-the-forehead indians nor tom-tom indians are white. The Jananese, the Chinese, all those Asian rim people are not white. Arabs and Semites are not white.

So... if you are an actual white, you are will eventually realize there is damn few of you, and that you've been taking a lot of undeserved heat for problems caused by other races and other peoples.
