The disgusting thing about Nader's bashing of the Corvair is that just prior to his book on it ("Unsafe At Any Speed" I think it was) he published another blast at the entire US auto industry for building cars that where "sluggish" in their handling and "not responsive like the "european ones."

Then the Corvair comes out with a slightly lower oversteer-transition speed (the most fundamental difference between "responsive" and "sluggish" in tech terms) and he completely reverses the argument to claim that makes it unsafe.

Of course the man who never had a drivers license is the one whose opinon about auto safety should be respected ...

And he has so many great ideas about other stuff too. One wonders if he's ever bought a house, sent his kids to school, or paid his taxes.

(Or actually done useful work for a paycheck.)
