Very sad to note the passing of such a figure who influenced the sounds
we heard and still hear...

And without whom, many people would be able to hear a lot
better than they can.


People have proven conclusively that by behaving unwisely, they were able
to
destroy their hearing with amplifiers that max out in the range of a few
dozen milliwatts.

With technical power often comes the ability to do good or ill, to
oneself,
and others.

I'm not ready to criticize Henry Ford for making the automobile more
available to the masses, despite the grievous damage that has been done
with
them.


Perhaps you are on the side of the American car industry trying to
discredit Ralph Nadar so that they could continue to make dangerous
vehicles.

Umm "continue to make dangerous vehicles"?

The US has some of the highest safety standards for automobiles in the
world, and tests cars to ensure that they are being met.

Not even Ralph Nader shows much interest in the issue any more - that was so
1960s.


It was GM who tried to discredit him following the publication of his
book "Unsafe at any Speed" in 1965.
