<VV> "FNADER" is disrespectful

[Charles Lee at Proper Pro Per]

Especially raced and autocrossed !

Driving is a sign of popularity, not roadworthiness.  I suppose there is a 
Citroen C2V owners club, but they don't autocross them !  (Or do they ? 
That would be fun to watch !)

The fact that Corvairs of all years are raced and otherwise tortured, and 
the fact that they win against modern cars, is as much of a refutation of 
Nader's abuse of American ignorance than anything else.

  I think the shear number of corvairs running/restored/raced/autocrossed or 
what have you, is a sound rebuttal to Nader's point of view - add to that 
the enlightening report by NHTSA on his allegations and, in my eyes the case 
is closed shut :)

  With all due respect, I believe this has little to do with being Canadian 
OR American (unless someone wishes to convince me that there are fundamental 
differences between section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and the 
American 1st Amendment).

  Perhaps, it's got to do with the manner one chooses to express an opposing 
view - having said that, I personally would not opt to use "F Nader", or for 
that matter "F anything"  :)

  In the words of an enlightened southerner:
    Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that !

Group:

Yes I am Canadian and I think I can make a generalization that sometimes 
Canadians are more timid in their approach when compared with Americans. 
This is not necessarily bad, but there is a difference.

Although I might have some serious issues with what Mr. Nadar had to say 
about one of my favorite automobiles, I think that it is very disrespectful 
to crucify his opinion on my license plate or in any other form of public 
communication.

I and many of my Countrymen will not persecute anyone for having a different 
opinion than ours.

It's not that is not you do not have the right to voice your opinion, (many 
Veterans have served us and the Country to give us this right) but some such 
as I might take the position that Mr. Nadar actually did us a favor by 
making our favorite car more affordable to buy.

Some might even argue that he - Connecticut's own Ralph Nadar - forced the 
largest automaker in the world to review their investment in making the 
automobile safer instead of just taking the money to the bank.

Flame on...

Respectfully, Garth
