It's ok to take one or two at a time. |

My take on Greg is that he has no interest in anything other than the anti-rule, anti-regulation, anti-societal libertarian nonsense. That means no regulatory efforts to fix anything. Don't like dirty air? Wear a gas mask. Dirty water? Filter it. Too many high-powered guns in the wrong hands? Wear body armor. |

I like Greg and have respect for his accomplishments, knowledge and technical expertise. But I don't think I've ever come across anyone who can come up with as many reasons why you *can't* do something as he can. It makes me chuckle sometimes. It's a little surprising because usually those with a technical or engineering bent are just the opposite. Tell an engineer he can't do something and he'll spend a lifetime trying to prove you wrong. |

It's ok to take one or two at a time. Certainly true but why start with the one that causes a few hundred deaths and ignore the ones that cause tens of thousands or even millions? Oh I forgot, they aren't news and the fix would be inconvenient for a lot of people. |

I lived my life on the other end of that product cycle and I see what engineers can't do. If they weren't wrong so often I would not have had a job. I didn't lose my job because they got any better. It was just because we simply throw away their mistakes and buy a new one instead of trying to fix it. |
