What really gets me about the whole deal is the way some people are all but accusing Toyota of first degree murder for the 52 deaths reportedly attributed to this unintended acceleration phenomenon, accusing them of knowingly putting unsafe cars on the road.
Last I heard, there are 50,000 deaths in this country each year from highway accidents because, for the most part, these people never learned how to drive in a safe manner.
Where's all the outrage over THOSE deaths? Where are the crowds demanding that licensing requirements be tightened such that people actually know how to drive in a safe manner BEFORE getting their damned license for the first time?
Not that I'm defending Toyota, but I'll bet at least some of these newly self-appointed safety nazis that want to crucify Toyota over this, spend most of their time behind the wheel with a cell phone glued to their ear.
