75 studied fatal incidents involving Toyota's that didn't brake when they were supposed to.
74 shown to be because the driver was actually pushing on the accelerator and not the brake.
100+ lawsuits against Toyota blaming electronic throttle issues. Personal responsibility for not knowing which pedal makes the car stop or mythical explanations that allow for frivolous lawsuits designed to bring in buckets of $$$?
2 politicians mentioned in the article, one notably from Michigan, taking advantage of Toyota's status as a Japanese company to level accusations in this poor economy. Slow to react? Um, General Motors needed billions of taxpayer dollars because it couldn't react to the entire global auto market. Also note that Toyota has assembly plants and employs Americans in AL, TX, WV, IN, KY, and MS. Who elects these people?
Oh right, the same 3000 people who somehow passed driving tests and can't tell the difference between the pedal on the left and the pedal on the right.
That's why voting is so important. At the very least, you cancel out one of them.

Or you can have a, albeit unpopular and probably impossible, IQ test to deem someone worthy to vote. Popular opinion and more importantly public misconception kills anything resembling progress.
