    Btw about the Police Chief, if you want to be sent all his email, snailmail correspondance as well as phone records then yes you can do that if you like. Since we are taliing about the police then some of it will probably be classified but all you have to do is to talk to the people at the reception on the Police Headquariters, they may even send it to you if you phone or mail them. Hell even the Security Police has this service at registrator@sakerhetspolisen.se

    The two issues are not connected, transparancy and the gouvernment doing bad things are two completely different things. And you must forget also that there is political majority in favor of these things at the moment (pirate bay and assange) so actually it just means that things are working as it should even though I'm personally not in favor of these things.

    Of course, but that doesn't mean that transparancey is a bad thing or that it doesn't work. Actually this transparance has brought to life many a scandal so it actually seam to work for the most part but just like any other law there is technical loopholes.

    Do you want every email to or from every government employee, every phone call recorded, every meeting videoed, every document on line? Do you realize how much information that is?

    Actually here in Sweden we do just that (except videoing every meeting but they have to be transcribed), if you work for the public then any person in Sweden has the right to get a copy of your emails, your snail mail correspondance etc. Unless the data for some reason has been classified but that is actually quite hard to do (one expection was however made in 2009 when the data transmissions from within the gouvernment for the time period of the 2004 tsunami in Asia).

    No that was in answer to some one from Northern PA, I'm not familiar with American geograpy but I guess that isn't DC, and my reply carried the wording "over here" meaning "this reply is not about the place where you live". Why shouldn't I be allowed to share my experiences? Are only people with DC experiences ever allowed to make a reply in this thread according to you?

    No I didn't, my first submission carried the wording "over here" meaning not in DC and then you caught on and told me that no once could die due to beeing stuck in snow on a busy road to which I replied that yes you can if you live where I do. And btw the only one who ever used the word wrong or stupid was you so I don't really get where all this frustration is coming from.

    Since none of the remaining candidates in round 3 where broken this is probably not the case. I think that the simplicity of the design (which makes analysis more easy) was the real reason. However we do not know yet since the report from round 3 hasn't been released yet.

    Claiming that you are wrong in calling me stupid for not knowing how to drive in snow is not lecturing however you turn it ;). And why you continue to claim that we only are allowed to talk about DC because that is where OP lived is beyond me.

    You are so funny, you keep dragging up your enormous expertise due to being an Alaskan and then now you accuse me of claiming to be the expert :-)

    Yes nobody would die in DC with an electrical car and never have I said so, what OP where from is completely irrelevant since I simply added my opinion on what would happen if one would get stuck with such a vehicle in a snow blizzard in parts of the world where it's possible.

    You are then the one who stumbled in like an elephant even claiming that M+S tires would be enough regardless of whether and you called me stupid for living in a place where there seams to be rougher roads and more snow/blizzards than you have where you live. Perhaps you should calm down and re read the whole thread?

    The only one here that tries to lecture some one in how to drive in the snow is you, look over my comments and you will find no lecturing at all. And considering that I live in a part of the world that contains as much snow as the place you live in then it''s quite stupid of you to lecture me about driving in the snow now isn't it ;)

    So you believe that Alaska is the only place on earth where it really snows and you think that I'm the stupid one ;). 3 feet is nothing, when I was a small boy our farm got completely covered in close to 30 feet. Yes the whole house just disappeared from the face of the earth during the night. Guess you have memories like that from Alaska as well so can we please drop this idea that only you know how lots of snow looks like?

    The incident that I talk about was a very heavy snow storm that in minutes completely covered the cars in snow, in order to even leave the cars people had to open the windows since it wasn't possible to open the doors due to the snow outside, but perhaps your non-stupid friend would rescue them all on a bicycle or something...

    Yes they where incompetent since they decided to drive when every one knew how the weather would be like but once the snow started there was no way even the most skilled driver could drive on, the military had to use band wagons (or whatever it's called in english) since nothing else could come through. No police or fire services vehicles could come through.

    And who cares for how long the cars can idle if they cannot drive the heater for an extended period of time?

    I have nothing against electric cars, it's just that in very cold places they might not be to solve all solution, in southern Europe and large parts of the US and Asia, Africa etc they would be perfect but in the northern hemisphere during winter?

    Zero of course since the defense forces came to the rescue, however we have cut back on them since then (since we recently abolished the drafting and now only employ people in the army for foreign services) so who knows what will happen if a similar incident happens again. And mind you that this was with cars running on gasoline so they could run their engines for hours, which you probably couldn't do with an all electric car.
