Time to get the 'ol Corvair out!

If you haven't heard, Ralph Nader is going to run for President again! This is possibly the best news the GOP has had in months, if not years. While I'm at some point sympathetic to Nader's thesis--that government deals too generously with corporations--at another level, I need to remember that his ideas (more socialism) aren't going to solve the problem. To draw a picture, the vitriol he leveled against the Corvair in 1965 was directed against a suspension that hadn't been produced since 1963.

It wasn't him who improved car safety, it was GM, and even the pre-1964 Corvairs had a good safety record. What's unsafe at any speed? If you said "Ralph Nader," go to the head of the class.
