> This is the first part of a financial article written by Laurence 
> Kotlikoff, a clueless man who apparently will write anything to get your 
> attention whether it's true or not:
>
> Ralph Nader, America's great consumer advocate, used four words - Unsafe 
> at Any Speed - to describe the Corvair, General Motor's death car of the 
> 1960s. The Corvair's engine was placed in the middle of the car, which 
> made it flip from a nice forward path to a crazy spin that would kill you 
> if you hadn't said your prayers or were damn lucky.
>
> I was lucky, damn lucky, one rainy evening in 1969. I was driving my dad's 
> Corvair doing 65 on a major highway during rush hour. All was calm and 
> serene when suddenly the car tried to kill me, sending itself into a wild 
> 180-degree spin, which miraculously hit nothing. It was precisely in those 
> few seconds that Unsafe at Any Speed burned into my cerebellum.
>
> Nader's words came back to me in 2008 as I, like you, watched the global 
> banking system collapse, which ushered in The Great Recession, from which 
> the developed world is still reeling.
>
> And his words returned to me in the last few days as I read about Cyprus' 
> banking crisis. Like the Corvair, the banking system in Cyprus is built to 
> fail - to spin out of control at a moment's notice.
