I thought we'd turn a page back in the 70's.

We finally stopped the War in Vietnam. We understood social justice. We exposed the CIA and the shit we did in South America. We knew this back in 1975. Instead, we elected assholes like Reagan, said fuck you to energy alternatives, and are shocked that 1/2 this country still thinks he understood this country. $5TT later that we transferred to the MIC and their actors in war zones that we created.


God Bless America.

Then everything went the other way. I always felt like there were nefarious and powerful influences that turned the population and the country in the wrong direction.

Maybe it was just that, in my little corner of the world, I thought everyone was like us. I guess the population of hateful dickheads was bigger than I thought at the time.

It's like there's an overlay of entities that need to stir up calamity and social disorder, because that's what they feed off of.

Who Killed the Electric Car? is a 2006 documentary film directed by Chris Paine that explores the creation, limited commercialization, and subsequent destruction of the battery electric vehicle in the United States, specifically the General Motors EV1 of the mid-1990s. The film explores the roles of automobile manufacturers, the oil industry, the federal government of the United States, the California government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, and consumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology.

After a premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, it was released theatrically by Sony Pictures Classics in June 2006 and then on DVD by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on November 14, 2006.
