Subversion is the great american past time. After all, it was the subversive refutation of the "devine right of kings" that led us to revolt against a somewhat tyrannical king. Subversion is as american as mom and apple pie.
Though I would consider anything you would find "subversive" to be worth taking a look at.
The Atari 1200XL, the best non-IBM keyboard I've ever used. 20 years and it still works flawlessly.
Built like a russian battle tank, tough and reliable.
Actually the real reason for alternative fuel vehicles is because battery powered electric cars are rather useless in the range department. Why would I want an electric car with only a 100 mile range when my current car can go 300 miles retween refuelings, and fuel cell car would likely have similar or better range. And what about recharging time? I can fill a tank with gasoline, methanol, or hydrogen alot faster than an electric car 's batteries will charge. Until electric cars can match IC or fuel cell cars on those points, and at equal or very slightly higher cost, they'll keep going like they have been, going nowhere fast.
Ok, minor problem everyone. Who here has owned a diesel car, and have had it break down? Last diesel car I had that did that (85 Ford Tempo) had it's injector pump go out. Needless to say the repair estimate was more than the car was worth. Diesel engines have parts that replacement alone can cost over $2000. Comparitivly a fuel cell is far more reliable. Biodiesel is a good idea, but the average Joe Sixpack is not going to want to deal with the repair costs. One the other hand my Caddy STC (97) hasn't given me a single problem. Diesel just isn't going to be the simple works when you need it to tech like gasoline or fuel cell vehicles. Now Biodiesel would work great in gas turbines, homegrown JP4 anyone?
Why a 2600? The chips used in the atari 8-bit computers are in the public domain now. So why a 2600-on-a-chip? I want a 130XE-on-a-chip.

Actually, I know quite a few americans who think for themselves. We just draw conclusions that disagree with your's. Kind of the wonderful part of independant thinkers in a free society.
As for americans being stupid, I think that describes the entire human race. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity (Heinlien)

Obviously you show your ignorance. Chavez is a marxist dictator, not a legitimate leader. Your banter reminds me of the Chinese leadership's remarks about Tianammen Square.
As for voting him out, you obviously know little to nothing about central and south american "politics" vote fraud and voter intimidation are par for the course. It is likely that the army arrested him hoping to advert civil war, incidents like that start long and bloody guerrella wars in countries like Venezuela.
And as far as Indymedia.org being a legitimate source of info, don't make me laugh. The bias is obvious.
