    Excuse me….Ralph does not have an inflated ego! For Christ\’s sake he flew Southwest Coach when he was traveling for his 2004 campaign. I\’ll bet that Bush and Gore NEVER flew coach once in their lives.
    He was the ONLY honest candidate in the 96, 2000 and 2004 election. When you you
    sheep wake from your slumber???? Republicrats… you are being fleeced!!!!

    Diogenes give me a break. For the better part of 80 years, from when Carl Benz built the first practical automobile to the mid 1960s, people understood that controlling the car is the responsibility of the driver.
    You cannot take a corner at 40 mph and expect the thing to stay on the ground.
    Suddenly in the 1960s losing control of the car is the car\’s fault, not the driver.
    If the bolt holding the wheel on is defective that is one thing. But driving too fast for conditions is the driver\’s fault.
    It is blaming your sore thumb on the hammer.

    He needs to just go to work fixin\’ traffic tickets and suing for stupid things like the other hack lawyers do. He gives lawyers a bad name.

    Nadar should go to Tokyo. That is now the seat of power for the auto industry, thanks in part to Mr. Nadar\’s self-proclaimed wizardry. Nice job, Ralphie.

    Do I hear a chorus of Kumbayah?

    This child of the sixties grew up. When will Ralph Nader and the rest of his ilk?

    My dad owned a Chevy Corvair. For its time and the money, it was a very good car.

    As an automotive safety enginner, Ralph Nader makes a good lawyer.

    Remember the Ford that had the big story in the 1980s about cars blowing up in rear-end collisions? Must have been hundreds that blew up.
    Guess how many actually did.

    Bad enough for people involved, but not near the epidemic the stories would lead you to believe.

    Nader for President? How about if we put him in a Corvair (which I did have and agree that it was a very good car) and crash him into the back of a Pinto?? Should solve the problem!

    Hal – The only \”epidemic\” was of corrupt thinking at Ford: that it would be less expensive to handle the resultant lawsuits for deaths and injuries involving the \”flaming Pintos\” instead of engineering preventive measures to avoid them.

    Quit being an apologist for greedy, corrupt corporate officers. Let the regulators regulate and maybe they\’ll take a few dishonest agents and brokers out, too.

    …it would be less expensive to handle the resultant lawsuits…

    Sounds like, dare I say it, a lawyer was involved.

    Isn\’t Ralph Nader a lawyer, too?

    Does anyone else remember the song that ended the original \”Italian Job\”? the refrain went . \”We are are the self preservation society.\”
