The street man appears to hover above the pavement. The three young ladies giggle and swoon. He asks one of them to recover a post-it note from the inside of the café window. It has her name on it…

Nothing is real anymore. Because you read it in the newspaper, see it on the internet, hear it from Bret Baier on FOX… doesn’t mean it’s so!

Now is the time for YOU to be smart. If it amazes you… STOP! Smell it… touch it… turn it over and look underneath. Jog your mind around it. If it disobeys Newtonian Physics… the rules for balancing your checkbook… the calendar… cycles of the moon… whatever… you don’t believe.

There are no straight lines in nature. The San Andreas Fault is NOT a straight line. Even Einstein proved that light can be bent. When your eye says… or your ear hears… something that just ain’t natural… QUESTION!

For example: In less than one week, the highest quality automobile produced in the world… has become a dangerous piece of cr@p. Hmmmm?

The cars developed the problem a few years ago but Toyota created an illusion that they were safe and continued producing them. I wonder how many Toyota executives will commit suicide over this?

Is US bullying Toyota on recall?
By Mira Oberman (AFP) – 1 day ago

FROM THIS ARTICLE:
David Champion, director of automobile testing for Consumer Reports magazine, said the reaction to the recall was overblown.
"When you look at the statistics we are putting an awful lot of effort on a very small risk," he said.

"There has been something like 2,000 complaints of unintended acceleration in some 20 million Toyota vehicles -- it's almost like trying to find a needle in a haystack."

Champion lamented as "unfortunate" that it took the death of an off-duty California state trooper and three members of his family to prompt Toyota to issue a mass recall in September to address the problem.

But he said a congressional investigation was an "overreaction" and noted that the "sticky" pedal problem that caused Toyota to halt production and sales of eight models last month WAS NOT LINKED TO ANY ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES.

Dis you get that last qualifier? GF?

In my opinion, a rather stupid comment. I wonder if he is driving one of the recalled vehicles?
