	Sky Corvair: Unsafe at Any Speed: Pitchfork Record Review
		Unsafe at Any Speed is a compilation of three previously recorded releases by the Sky Corvair from 1994, 1995 and 1997 that were released on Chicago's Actionboy label and Braid/Sky Corvair member Bob Nanna's Grand Theft Autumn imprint.
		The primary point of debate regarding the quality of Unsafe at Any Speed, as with most Kinsella projects, is the vocal performance.
		Unsafe at Any Speed does present an interesting look back at the meeting point of its members' better known projects during the salad days of those bands lifespans.

	Unsafe at any Speed
		From Ralph Nader’s Preface to Unsafe at Any Speed:
		The roots of the unsafe vehicle problem are so entrenched that the situation can be improved only by the forging of new instruments of citizen action.
		The history of that tragedy reveals many obstacles which must be overcome in the taming of any mechanical or biological hazard which is a by-product of industry or commerce.

	ABD - 'Unsafe at any speed'
		Any views and opinions expressed herein are those of Dr North and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Association of British Drivers.
		“the majority of motorists do not alter their speed to conform with speed limits they perceive as unreasonable for prevailing conditions (but) when compliance improved after speed limits were raised, accidents tended to decrease”20.
		Even if greater speed variance on motorways resulted, and in so doing caused a marginal increase in the casualty rate, the probability would be that this would be more than compensated for by a reduction in accident rates elsewhere, particularly amongst pedestrians and other vulnerable road users on urban roads.

	Government Highways: Unsafe at Any Speed \| The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
		Unsafe, aging, and overcrowded roadways might be expected in a Third World nation, but not in the world’s largest, freest, most economically advanced country.
		We have shock-absorbing bumpers that can withstand crashes at speeds of five miles per hour, yet there are no physical safeguards to prevent one from driving while legally intoxicated.
		In spite of lower speed limits, increasing the legal drinking age to 21 in all 50 states, and narrower blood-alcohol test limits, roughly half of all fatal traffic accidents are still alcohol- related.

		Unsafe at any speed… Philip and a piston twin
		It might be interesting for you to one day go to SimCom or Flight Safety and go through one of their training programs and report on their approach to safety and the wringer they put you through.
		From these two searches for justification - with none being found in either case, I believe it is fair to conclude that “the idea of an engine failure being most likely to occur at the first power reduction after takeoff” is in fact an old wives tale.

		More than any other single person, Ralph Nader is responsible for the existence of automobiles that have seat belts, padded dashboards, air bags, non-impaling steering columns, and gas tanks that don’t readily explode when the car gets rear-ended.
		More than any other single person, Ralph Nader is responsible for the fact that George W. Bush is President of the United States.
		Nader is more responsible than Al Gore, who, in 2000, put himself in the clear by persuading more of his fellow-citizens to vote for him than for anybody else, which normally—in thirty-nine of the forty-two previous Presidential elections, or ninety-three per cent—had been considered adequate to fulfill the candidate’s electoral duty.

		Nor are they any less amnesiac in suggesting the Greens can someday supplant one of the two major parties.

		I remember reading 15 or so years ago that per kms driven, the German fatality rate was much higher than that of the U.S. In any case, my experience in Germany was that they are horrible drivers, never leaving any margin of error.
		Speed kills, anything above 100km/hr on a crowded highway is simply not safe.
		In Germany, the Autobahn is designed for high speed, and it is very straight.

	The American Spectator
		The ubiquitous problem we have of drivers parking in the far left lane and refusing to budge is almost unheard of in Germany -- which is one reason why they can have Autobahns with cruising speeds of 100-mph-plus without problems -- while we have "road rage" and radar traps.
		But instead, we have a "dumbed down" driving pool -- and least common denominator traffic laws that assume people are too inept to handle driving faster than 55 or 65 mph on highways designed for safe travel at speeds of 75-85 mph back in the Eisenhower era.
		And the fact is that many states and counties have become so dependent upon the revenue generated by trumped-up speeding tickets that it would be financially ruinous for them to change the system to focus on improving the skill of the average driver -- rather than fleecing motorists.

		Personally, I find it hard to believe Ralph would get caught in any jam that a good criminal lawyer - and a contrite appearance on Oprah - couldn't get him out of.
		The point is that he has joined (to borrow Saruman's phrasing) with the enemy.
		Which, as far as I'm concerned, means the Democrats should use any legal and feasible means to keep Nader off the ballot in as many states as possible.

	Failure Magazine-Archives-History-Corvair
		The Ralph Nader book "Unsafe At Any Speed" portrayed the Corvair as unstable and prone to rollover accidents.
		There was simply no way GM could halt the line without appearing to "cave in" to the charges, so production continued, albeit in limited numbers, through the '67, '68 and '69 model years.
		Ironically, the NHTSA report, released three years after Corvair's demise, would exonerate Chevrolet of all charges, concluding that the Corvair was no more prone to accidents and rollovers than any other comparable car of the period.

	Ralph Nader - Not For Sale
		Ralph Nader, a towering 6 feet, 4 inches, is soft-spoken, but he's as intense as any politician.
		Nader began to earn that reputation 30 years ago, when he was catapulted into the national spotlight as a young Harvard law graduate whose stinging book Unsafe at Any Speed challenged the safety of the Chevrolet Corvair and American cars in general.
		Any conversation with him gravitates back to the theme of citizen power.

	Ralph Nader
		Even at low speeds, a car wreck could propel passengers into the metal dashboard or snap the driver's neck on the metal steering wheel.
		Others, including Nader, say he is entitled to run for public office like any other citizen, and it's not nuts to suggest Americans deserve more than two choices -- and better choices than the two they get.
		As a result of his perpetual candidacy for President, Nader is now despised by many left-wingers who might otherwise be his natural allies, and applauded by right-wingers who donate to his campaign after they've given the Republicans the maximum amount allowed by law.

		People have this crazy idea that quads are safe and trikes are dangerous, if you look at the numbers accidents went up 5 fold after 88, i guess those numbers get hidden and accident rates from 85 and 86 aren't hidden.

		With customary determination, however, he rewrote the book in breakneck speed and published Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-in Dangers of the American Automobile (Grossman) in November 1965.
		Shrewdly anticipating Detroit's resistance to any federal regulation, Nader persuaded a friend, Iowa Attorney General Lawrence Scalise, to hold auto safety hearings in January 1966.
		Five years after Unsafe at Any Speed, Nader was busy diversifying his groups, spawning new leaders, investigating new abuses.

	Ralph Nader: Fascist Totalitarian
		The New York Times declares Nader’s candidacy to be "ego driven," (Gee, aren’t nearly all political campaigns driven by ego?) while the Washington Post pleads with Nader that there REALLY ARE differences between George Bush and Al Gore and a vote for Nader is really a vote for Bush.
		Beginning with his collection of falsehoods, entitled Unsafe at Any Speed, which was an unjust attack upon the Chevrolet Corvair, Nader was able to portray the automobile industry as a collection of evil monopolists who were trying to dream up new ways of killing their customers.
		In the World of Nader, none of the products made by U.S. companies have any social use at all, as they are either dangerous or useless (in his opinion).
