Re: Attention Nader supporters!

Nader, wasn't he the consumer champion that caught Ford out putting dangerous cars on the road despite knowing the problem (Ford Pinto if memory serves me well, there was the famous internal memo that costed paying the claims arising as cheaper than changing the production line ) and sparked of a whole raft of safety regulation that means american cars now have fuel tanks that don't just blow up when struck from behind. i remember it well as it was a case that rebounded round the world. From the father of consumerism to fringe lunatic, isn't propoganda wonderful.
