Quote of the Day (Ralph Nader, on Model Changes and Safety)

"The annual model change ritual is not a meaningful innovation for the public safety and welfare. Its purpose is to ‘stir the animal’ in the car buyer. It is aimed not at the reason of men but at their ids and hypogastria.”—Ralph Nader, testifying before Congress, Feb. 10, 1966, quoted in Justin Martin, Nader: Crusader, Spoiler, Icon (2002)
