Very strange poster indeed! !Is there something called impaired posting ! After all it is the Stampede.

Seriously did you see the story about the 4.9 billion dollar judgement against G.M. awarded to 6 severely burned victims of an exploding gas tank accident. It's the largest product-liability award ever in U.S. history. The rear ended accident was caused by a drunk driver, the jury discovered that a G.M. engineer calculated that it would cost $2.40 per auto to settle lawsuits involving deaths. Instead of paying $8.59 per car to fix the known problem.

Although G.M. will appeal the award, it is brutal reminder that there is a dark side of human nature. Really scarey stuff, someone sitting at desk would estimate deaths instead of spending an extra 6 bucks to fix it. I wonder what a jury would charge for a hydrogen tank explosion.
