ShyTorque:
So I've completely missed the point of the second paragraph of post #65?
Apparently. Nothing in what Gomer said in Post #65 implied that the U.S. model is the best. It's just what it is (profit-driven), and nothing, not all the whining from people in any other country is going to change that. As a culture and a country, the U.S. is apparently okay with the loss rates compared with injured people saved. Oh, the NTSB will harumph and recommend after every accident, but in the end very little will change.
