Default "That feeling of safety isn't the solution; it's the problem."

It's old, OT (about SUVs) and maybe most people have seen it before
but I found the following article very interesting:

http://www.gladwell.com/2004/2004_01_12_a_suv.html

"Jettas are safe because they make their drivers feel unsafe.
S.U.V.s are unsafe because they make their drivers feel safe. That
feeling of safety isn't the solution; it's the problem. "

Has interesting parallels with things we discuss here.

Tim.
