<VV> That fatal crash: Did we know the Ragsdales? Sad day, from any perspective

[corvairs]

We first have to wonder why someone would even take the time to write 
such an imbecillic remark. One could casually make such a remark about 
any pre-federal safety car in passing - but to use it in conjunction 
with a deadly accident where an innocent person is killed by a boozy 
pinhead seems over the top. What could his burning motive be? Defense 
council for the booze-hound perhaps?  Lon wall
