Really good video about Ralph Nader. He was thrust into national prominence after GM tried to smear his character through "dirty tricks" - which all came out in congressional hearings. Nader assumed the mantel of "white knight" and became very powerful.
No product can be made completely safe - but the cars built before 1965 paid little attention to passenger safety. Is there a point at which we can say that government is overstepping it's role and actually causing more harm than good in the regulation of an industry? I've long held a suspicion that the wide deployment of airbags has been a net harm to the American consumer rather than a needed safety feature (air bags largely are there to protect people who DON'T use safety belts).
