I apologize in advance:-)

If you really want to save your life or the life of your child then you must
personally evaluate the safety of the automobile that you buy.  Nothing will
ever change that.

If, however, you would like to rely on someone else to protect you from your
own decision making, just know that if they fail to do so all you will
receive is a large cash payment.  You will never get to re-make your
decision, or get your or your childs life back.  You will just get a bunch
of money and the peace of mind that comes with being able to blame someone
else for your decisions.

more than the simple manufacturers sued here.

If you trust a corrupted, incompetent consumer protection agency, or a
greedy self serving mega corporation to look out for you then....what?
You're a fool?  You're going for the big lawsuit?  Why on earth would you do
that?   I mean, what, I get burned alive in a Pinto and my wife gets 20
million dollars.  Is that supposed to be acceptable to me?

That doesn't mean it shouldn't.  Or that we should succumb to irrationality.

Well let's teach them some new ideas.  We'll have to start somewhere.....
