Glad to know that she represents only a tiny tiny minority of Clinton supporters

Although, the thought that someone who thinks Hillary lost for being female would rather see the anti-choice, misogynistic, pasty old white male become president seems rather hard to believe.

You don’t think she was a republican plant all along, do you?

Thanks, Jane. I only recently became acquainted with this issue myself because of that documentary, and I almost couldn’t believe it. Do I think that GM’s decision had anything to do with pressure from the oil industry? Oh, you betcha!

It seems safe to say that GM may have been getting its comeuppance in recent years, considering that they haven’t been doing very well — and reportedly, even their CEO Rick Wagoner has apparently acknowledged that terminating the program was one of the worst decisions made during his tenure. According to the documentary, a large part of this reason may lie with Toyota. Apparently, when the EV1 first came out, Toyota understandably began to get nervous and began trying to think of ways that they could compete with what they saw as an emerging threat — and eventually, at least to all appearances, what they came up with was the Prius. When GM junked the EV1, they had no idea that gas prices would rise to such stratospheric levels. Admittedly, I don’t think anybody could have know back then…but at the same time, one is inclined to think that an intelligent person would have recognized at the time (even more so today) that unrest in the Middle East could potentially become a threat to our petroleum supplies.

Hmmmmm…that wouldn’t happen to be the EV1, by any chance, would it? As in, the car about which the documentary “Who Killed The Electric Car?” was made — the models which they first started offering for lease only in 1997 in Arizona and California, then turned around and basically tried to erase from existence six years later? And yes, I think the phrase “erase from existence” is very apropos…according to the documentary, GM insisted on reclaiming every single car that was leased in spite of waiting lists and positive user feedback and offers to purchase the cars, and then chose to shred the cars despite previously having promised that they would be re-used.
