And the honor was well-deserved in a number of ways, one of them being his commitment to the electric vehicle. In fact, the actor recently wrote to The New Yorker to set the record straight on which electric cars he’s owned and driven.

"One electric car at a time" would brankrupt this nation, if they are dumb enough to follow Hank's lead. He couldn't find an EV-1 for sale because they were never for sale - the only way GM could find people willing try them was to lease them - the same thing both Honda and , to a certain extent, Toyota did. You'd think that one of the stars of that utterly ficititious film "Who Killed the Electric car?" would at least know SOMEHTHING about the EV-1. Hanks has certainly run his lying mouth plenty criticizing GM. I notice that he never mentioned the fact that Toyota destroyed threee times as many electrics as GM did. Good old Don't-believe-a word-he saays Tom. The EV-1 was in the showrooms for 7 long years, and never were more than 75% under lease at any given time. Where was Hanks during that time? I see that Hanks must have tired of that paltry 45 mile driving radius and 8 hour recharges for his Rav4, so he paid almost $100,000 for a crappy little Scion to electrify it, throwing away in the process, machinery that required tons of carbon to produce. Hanks will NEVER make up for all that carbon he squandered. Nice job there Tom, or is it Forrest?

Financial crisis!? For whom?

Corporations like those, rule the world – they create wars, hunger, regional conflicts, diseases… anything you can possibly imagine so that they can make huge profits!

Do you think I am a conspiracy looney?

Think again! Corporations like Exxon are owned by people who I call ‘human daemons’…
