    airbags were only needed to save people too stupid to use seat belts.

    so, yes, they cost far too much for what they accomplish, and have killed a fair number of children in the shotgun seat.

    disagree with your sorting. I'm no fan of people driving slow in the left lane, but they are predictable. Aggressive drivers in any lane are unpredictable and cause all manner of problems even for the other drivers who are actually paying attention, because no one knows what idiotic maneuver they are going to pull next and the cascading effect that causes on the surrounding motorists.

    I would add that this is only one of the ways we are screwing up various critical equilibriums of the planet. A year back, New Scientist published an article indicating 7 different ways we are destroying the planet. But if you can't get the population on board with the simplest of them, we are far more screwed than previously thought.

    And you better believe the scientists will be the first against the wall when it is all inevitably and irretrievably obvious.
