Watched Frontline on PBS last night. It was about SUV's and in particular Ford Bronco's. It was known and well documented that the vehicles were unsafe. President Carter was doing something about it but when Acting President Ronald Rayguns got in office, he shut down all investigations and appointed a person to head the (can't remember the name of the agency) government agency overseeing vehicle safety that was in no way qualified in safety matters who white washed the whole investigation and quelched all reports. George I followed in his footsteps. It took massive deaths to finally bring the problem to the attention of the American public and was finally blamed on faulty tires.

My point is: Even if we know, does it make any difference. If there is profit for big business, the citizens will always be left in the lurch. What are a few lives compared to billions of dollars?
