It’s a game-changing concept that’s won over many energy-security hawks and even environmentalists who had been married to futuristic fuel-cell vehicles, but now see plug-ins as a here-and-now way to fight global warming as well as freeing the US from imported oil.</description><link>http://shinyobjects.tumblr.com/post/42759465</link><guid>http://shinyobjects.tumblr.com/post/42759465</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:35:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, PA - Events</title><description>&lt;a href="http://www.tribune-democrat.com/features/local_story_199123241.html?keyword=secondarystory"&gt;The Tribune Democrat, Johnstown, PA - Events&lt;/a&gt;: Events for the week of July 19</description><link>http://shinyobjects.tumblr.com/post/42715637</link><guid>http://shinyobjects.tumblr.com/post/42715637</guid><pubDate>Fri, 18 Jul 2008 10:38:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>youngmanhattanite:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Like a lot of American kids, I read [Lord of the Flies] in school. Presumably it was not a coincidence. Presumably someone wanted to point out to us that we were savages, and that we had made ourselves a cruel and stupid world. This was too subtle for me. While the book seemed entirely believable, I didn’t get the additional message. I wish they had just told us outright that we were savages and our world was stupid.”&lt;/p&gt;
