Where's the outrage? (marginal Audi content)

["Shaun D. Mullen" <smullen@philly.infi.net>]

I had to wipe the sweat from my laptop computer after all the shocks and
alarums on the q-list over the recent air bag controversy, specifically
the outrage evinced over the U.S. government mandating exactly what
automakers and John Q. Public can and cannot do, and the sometimes
lethal consequences of that behavior.  The government is about to enact
new child safety-seat restraint hardware regs.  It is again mandating
exactly what automakers and John Q. Public can and cannot do.  Where's
the outrage?  Could it be that for some of us, there's a double-standard
at work?
