2014 Chevy Spark EV | Electric Vehicle | Chevrolet
Cool little car! $19,185 ($26,685 minus $7200 federal tax credit.) Your commute less than 80 miles? Household outlet compatible. Immediately save about $150 on gas per month. Save $9000 dollars in 5 YEARS on gas (EPA, depending how far you drive). Then the car actually cost you $10,000. And if gas keeps getting more expensive (duh), save $10,000 or more every 5 years, in your pocket. And it doesn't support/rely on foreign countries' oil reserves, and doesn't pollute. And it has the smart screen technology, etc. Getting to be a no-brainer. (Dare we say progress?) Cool stuff!
A collection of ideas, letters, opinions, and inspiration. On freedom, on Generation X, modern society, the ethereal dance of the unconquered mind (ok, that's the name of a photo exhibit in San Jose, but it's nifty sounding), the Democratic Party, how much rock and roll and the web will fuel activism, things worth chronicling, things we can improve, and the future.

Climate Panel Cites Near Certainty on Warming - NYTimes.com
The same thoughts here. So sad, and infuriating that many people are still stuck in some ideological denial. These 'flat-earthers' and others not helping improve society and not helping prevent the suffering of many should be shamed, and those for their own oil- and coal-profit ends are willing to mislead the simple-minded into denial, they should be jailed, in jails with the pollution and emissions of coal-fired plants and combusted oil and oil spills piped directly in.

Heartbreaking. Heartbreaking for that young man's family. And for America, and Australia.
Gun laws have to change. That our culture is stuck in so many spots is so sad, and infuriating at the same time.

Steve King: Belief In Climate Change Is A 'Religion,' 'Not Science' | ThinkProgress
What a complete tool. 97% of scientists have affirmed man-made global warming as an indisputable scientific fact, but this knucklehead can stand in front of people and claim it is NOT science? Steve King is a complete dirty oil- and coal-bribed buffoon who now can't be taken seriously about anything by any reasonably intelligent individual.

Good. Negotiation, ever-increasing debilitating sanctions, or God-forbid eventually war. Iran seems to have 3 choices to eventually arrive at making their energy production completely transparent.

This is really Orwellian and against the nature of privacy in America. These surveillance oversteps without probable cause are actual crimes that need to be prosecuted.

Oh my goodness, how evil these people are. Harming people and then paying them off and forcing them to remain silent, then continuing fracking.
