"Environmentalist (sic) have killed more US citizens than were killed in Vietnam". If you believe such tripe, Rare Lamb, you are even more gullible than I had thought--and you set a high standard in that regard.


I was just reading an article on the subject of safety and small versus large vehicles. Title: "'How US Shifted Gears to Find Small Cars Can Be Safe Too"--"Studies Discover Size, Quality Are As Important as Weight".

According to David L. Greene, research fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, DOE research lab: Mr. Greene says " that previous research that did find a correlation (between fuel economy and increased traffic fatalities) studied only the immediate years after fuel economy reform when weight drops were most significant. But studied over a longer period, that correlation disappears, he says".
