LOL, Ann. Gosh, even I didn't think the producers of Smallville were that evil - but you've convinced me.

Btw, what I remember from the Silver Age comic books is that any Earthling who found out The Secret was dead by the last frame. At the time, I didn't connect that directly with Superman, but now of course it's really obvious to me that someone ought to have been checking S's alibi at the time of those deaths. The guy had motive, opportunity and certainly the means. (can you tell I'm reading too many trash mystery novels again?) But seriously, those in the know did wind up dead.
