I had CNN on this afternoon for about 20 minutes. During that time, some Congressman made the point that more deaths have already been caused by unintentionally accelerating Toyotas than were caused by exploding Pintos back in the 70s. I have no idea if that's true or not. But if it is, then that does kinda put things in perspective as well. I'm not saying I like the way the media is handling this, mind you. I agree that it's been blown way out of proportion, and I think these idiots (politicians + media) are just making a bad situation even worse. But given how upset people got over exploding Pintos, IF it's true that more people have already been killed by these Toyotas, then I can kinda understand the level of hype.
