Re: [biofuel] Model American.........
Hi Christopher, Well said !! I notice that number 1. on your list is "be self reliant" ! In my time here on Earth I have also noticed that the folks who subscribe to this self evident truth that we all need to be "self reliant" in every way possible are always the people that care the most about each other and everything else that matters in our world.

Re: [biofuel] Model American.........
So, why doesn't that model seem to get more press? You live, I live it, the people we talk to live it. Turn on the TV, the "gotta keep up with everybody" crowd is pandered to...Oops, did I just answer the question. TV is not living it, it's watching it? Is that what this is all about?

Re: [biofuel] Model American.........
Personally I think the "Model American" is the keep up with the Jones got to make more money so I can buy more stuff on credit as long as I have my Cable TV and a Full Belly every thing is Fine why mess with the system because they're not messing with me type of person. These are the same type of people who don't vote because it doesn't matter any way then complain about how the gov runs things Instead of trying to change things. I personally am a member of several different groups(numerous) receive about 600 emails a day that I read (not counting the junk and Spam) try to learn as much as I can so that I can 1. be Self Reliant 2. Spread the Word to like minded people 3. ask the right questions to Public Officials (to include my representatives in gov.) and get the ball rolling 4. help teach and guide the young people in my neighborhood 5. keep the bad elements out of are family orientated neighborhood (i.e. no hookers,drug dealers,etc.) 6.

Re: [biofuel] Model American.........
As far as "model Americans", one can always blow a hole in this. Companies that spend (waste) time doing market research have found that people will say what they think you want to hear, but do something entirely different. For example, in the early 50's, Chrysler did some one-on-one market research, while designing the 1954 Plymouth. When the car hit the showroom, it was not a corporate design, but instead, designed by what they were told people wanted during the extensive/expensive market research program. The result? The 1954 Buick, the car that was as big as a house, outsold the Plymouth 4-to-one. So much for the "model American".and the reason no corporation will make an expensive mistake like this again. It took Chrysler years to recover their losses from this. E.J.

These folks need to target a specific demographic so they need this model. There's really nothing nefarious about it. Unless of course the designers have decided it's easier to design for one model and "we're going to breed them this way!" (But I see the black helicopter coming over the hill...) I wish I could remember the aricle I read on this recently. (If an article doesn't relate directly to an interest of mine, I don't tend to read deeply.) There are products manufatured for a need and there are needs manufactured for a product was one of the ideas I gleaned from a skimming of the article. The big surprise I got out of it was that before 1970, Hershey Chocolate did not do any advertising at all, none in their entire history. How many other companies were like that, I'm wondering?
