I saw Wednesday's episode (I, too, am an admitted Alias addict) and thought it was great that they talked about the hybrid.  I particularly liked when she spray painted the (was it a) hummer.  I think these brief allusions to environmentalism that are cropping up on some tv shows can only help, seeing how much people revere and emulate movie stars.  I get angry every time I hear Ashton Kuchter's name.  Hmmm...I just noticed that Jennifer Garner was in "Dude, Where's my car?" with him.  Could this be just coincidence?  I think not.....

Counterpunch has just reported that the network that airs Alias uses government input in writing the show (they claim that it makes the show better).  So, that show is loaded with U.S. government propaganda, which can't be anything but far right.  I would not encourage anyone to watch shows like this if you desire progressive change.   In fact, little or no TV is best, as it has a mind-numbing effect regardless of what is watched.

"Well considering the rapidly growing demand for fuel in
nations like China, India not to mention the world's oil
production is expected to peak in the next five years and
then sharply plummet, I think it's pretty clear were looking at an exponential rise in the global conflict along with an energy crisis of unfathomable proportion.  So yes I'd say a hybrid is an excellent idea."

for cryin' out loud! (slaps forehead)

How could I have been so blind to this information?

my t.v. musta been off.
