	The Why Files \| GM food: fighting a losing battle?
		Even as GM acreage expands and Europe gives a guarded "yes," the political picture is discouraging for GM foods in the United States, says Thomas Hoban, a sociologist at North Carolina State University who has watched the GM debate for years.
		Most GM products were introduced in the 1990s, but since 2000, manufacturers have limited their introductions of GM products in the U.S. Although these data indicate that manufacturers and consumers are both skeptical of GM food, Why-Filers wonder where the factories are getting GM-free corn and soy for these products.
		GM soybeans, corn, and cotton were introduced in the United States in 1996.

	A power greater than their hoarded gold
		GM lost about $1 billion in profits in 15 days--and management had to give in.
		That was the case in apartheid South Africa, for example--where the rise of Black workers' struggles in the 1980s shook the system more dramatically than all the battles that came before, ushering in the final days of the racist regime.

	Planet Ark : Green groups push CO2 resolutions at GM, Ford
		The coalitions stopped filing them after GM and Ford pulled out of a lobbying group that fought the Kyoto agreement aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions, the main "greenhouse gas" believed to trigger global warming.
		The coalition said it filed the resolutions again because GM and Ford fought higher federal fuel economy standards and a new California law that mandates better fuel economy in passenger vehicles.
		GM and Ford have both made pledges to improve the fuel economy of their sport utility vehicles, but have also seen their average fuel economy fall over the past several years as sales of larger pickups and SUVs increased.

	America and GM: Is it too late to save this marriage? - Jan. 30, 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		GM executives have admitted to being slow to turn around the company's heavy reliance on SUVs when market tastes began to shift toward the more car-like crossover SUVs first introduced by Toyota.
		Also, GM quality lagged far behind that of Japanese competitors like Toyota for decades and the gap has truly begun to narrow only recently, GM executives readily admit.
		That means GM will have to make cars with more compelling designs that will attract buyers into showrooms without the need for cash rebates, Kuhlman said.

		GM is fooling few if anyone, they have had, just like the other Detroit automakers, over 30 years to get their alternative motor and fuel act together and they have done little or nothing,
