>>I am sorry, but this is not JUST caused by a faulty ignition switch.

Read my lips- GM knew there was a fault causing deaths, accepted the risk as “collateral damage” and stonewalled any concerns over a switch that was poorly designed to SAVE MONEY. Simply not acceptable behavior by any CEO or Dept. head. This is moral turpitude and qualifies for social censure and punishment.

Why conservatives give the libs free reign on these issues is utterly beyond me. Malfeasance is malfeasance. Our head in the sand lets them kick us in the butt every time.

...GM knew there was a fault causing deaths...

Read my lips, the ignition switch did NOT "cause" a single death! Even the NHTSA has said that these are related, but have NOT listed the switch as the cause of the DEATH!

The driver's inability to keep control of their car, as required by law, died DUE to their actions. The switch was a contributing factor, but it did NOT kill anyone.

What kind of people don't understand that if YOU put too much crap on YOUR key-chain or YOU hit/kick the ignition, it may cause problems? These switches don't just turn off or fall out, etc... They are only "faulty" if you put too much crap on the key or you hit/kick the thing while you are driving down the road.

Malfeasance? Really? Do you even know what that word means?

There was no "wrong doing." There was a less than perfect design that had problems in certain situations - period! A car itself is dangerous to anyone and everyone around it - in certain situations. Does that make the building of cars an act of malfeasance? You could say that about having a radio in the car! Is placing a radio in the car malfeasance? Surely GM knows that cars and cars with radios are "related" to thousands of accidents and deaths every year!

They knew they had a less-than perfect ignition switch and redesigned it. Since GM has come out with other, better parts on their cars, is it moral turpitude for them NOT to automatically go back and upgrade all the older cars with these new, safer options?

Your self-righteousness, is what makes the libs scream with joy! Your refusal to look at the whole picture makes you easily malleable to whatever morally righteous road they can lead you down!
