While it would feel most satisfying indeed to blow past the gas pumps, and thumb my nose at the oil companies, I have one concern: How practical would such vehicles be in the northern latitudes, where you often have to drive in snow, and have an autonomous heat source? Having to generate cabin heat alone would seem to ...more

What we need in this country is a peaceful revolution, a revolution whereby more people switch to credit unions. That way their brokers would have to get real jobs instead of being parasites on society. That way perhaps laid-off Chicago factory workers wouldn't have had to take a stand against Bank of America, which tr...more

B...more

Watched this series and liked it until both my parents died in hospitals in the mid to late nineties. It was then that I got a taste of the appalling apathy and indifference that our medical system has for the elderly and the poor, not to mention the bill collecting harpies that picked at their corpses even after they ...more
