-Wait a minute,

-you're telling me that you believe in the unlimited growth of the human
-potential, and you also believe that we CAN NOT build a robotic plant
-to build cars? You know much about Nissan, for instance? 80 workers,
-and thousands of cars a year from their plant in Japan.

-How can anyone take you serious about ending mortality when you can't
-even see past 18th century economics? Get serious. Either you believe
-what you say, and you believe that simply extending the industrial
-revolution to it's logical conclusion is at least possible, or you
-are hopelessly stuck in hyper-capitalist slogans.

-I believe that second of the above to be the case. You are a fraud. Pure
-and simple.
	Hey! *I* believe that we can have robotic plants! In fact, I'm
hoping to get to FULLY robotic plants, where the cars drive themselves in
for repairs/tuneups, get repaired, and return to their owners without any
human intervention. (In fact, I'm working on designing an autopilot system
for cars right now...)

	Can you post more info about the Nissan plant? I hadn't heard about
it...
