Re: Huge study about safety can be misinterpreted by SUV drivers
Why the reputations are better is likely due to advertising strategy,
but the facts tell a different story. Comparing actual death rates per
million registered vehicle years shows the following data (IIHS.ORG):
Mercedes C class = 52
Volvo 850 - 39
Ford Expedition 4WD = 39

Re: Huge study about safety can be misinterpreted by SUV drivers
I'd say "all" liberals are guilty of treason...
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=treason
"Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the
betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and
purposely acting to aid its enemies. "
Here's treason defined in Teddy Kennedy's (you know, the murdering liberal
from MA) state:
http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/264-1.htm
"Treason against the commonwealth shall consist only in levying war against
it, or in adhering to the enemies thereof, giving them aid and comfort; it
shall not be bailable."
Note the giving the enemy aid part...
Punishable by LIFE in prison:

No, I WON'T do it because it's a rat hole... you beleive what you want.
