Maybe We Should Have Listened to Booker T.

Im sure everyone knows about the big trouble that Toyota is in becuase of thier sticky pedal situation and hidden crash test results but now GM has jsut recalled 1.3 Chevorlet and Pontiac cars for steering problems. They are saying that although these cars may have steering problems, it is still steer-able; it's just a bit more difficult. Any semi-experienced driver will just go buy them some power steering fluid and think this will serve as a remedy to thier car troubles. However this may make it worse. [Deep Breath]

I swear if all these car companies start doing this shit, its going to come to two things. One being public transport systems or a car company--most likely a foriegn automaker-- will eventually monopolize the game by exploiting this information in thier comparison commercials. On the other side of the token we will experience a metaphorical ending of the world becuase this will eventually erradicate everyone's main means of transportation. However, there may be some good in the latter. Maybe we will come across the flying cars we've been promised since 2000. But really, who the hell is going to buy those in this economy and even better, who's going to trust them??! Another plus to this may be deletion of the lethargy that progressive evolution of technology has produced.

I think its time to go to Booker T. Washington plan. I think we should start educating our "head, hearts and hands". Relying on manufacturers to help us out is starting to seem illogical. (besides most times they wont tell you the trends--problems with thier products--unless they are going to get sued becuase they have an image to protect) Maybe we should all make it a requairement to know how to build things for ourselves. That way we can point the finger at ourselves if we fail and we can master and personalize our products to tailor to OUR needs, not a general need of a target market. . .#imjustsaying
