   Some are simply arrogant fools who believe they know everything...that's   
   Dangerous.   
   And particularly nowadays, those who drive Dumbed Down cars made for   
   Retarded Idiots, getting at the controls of an aircraft are downright   
   Terrifying!

   If they don't know how to do it in the first place, the only motivation for   
   such silliness would have to be arrogance.   
      
   > Geez....  just buy some parts online.   
      
   I'd rather not. I prefer to see, IN PERSON, what I'm getting, rather than   
   some picture on a screen. I buy food the same way.

   > general terms.   
      
   The specific part varies between manufacturers, but they all use various   
   accelerometers, and other sensors, such as wheel spin sensors, and control   
   modules, effectively computers, to process the signals from these devices   
   and trigger the firing of the airbag charge(s) accordingly....more   
   Unnecessary CRAP!   
      
   > Could you design the firing cartrige that explodes the bag ?   
      
   Sure...and some of them even use compressed air instead of an explosive   
   charge....but I prefer vehicles without all that  Nonsense!!!

   We don't know *exactly* how the computer systems in a cell phone work   
   because we weren't provided with the Documentation explaining it...and   
   that's the Danger...if you don't know precisely what's going on, how can you   
   know that you're not being Deliberately enDangered by it???   
      
   > There's plenty in that none of us understands.  Yet we use them.   
      
   That's the primary reason for STAYING AWAY from such things UNTIL there Is   
   Knowledge and Understanding!!!   
      
   A mouse doesn't understand how a mouse TRAP works either...yet they also use   
   them - notice the similarity?   
      
   > Because, we can't get very far if we have to understand and build

   It's the other way around, we can't get very far Trusting, WITHOUT ANY BASIS   
   those we shouldn't trust NOT to Abuse us as they Deliberately strive to keep   
   us IGNORANT of what' they're doing!!!   
      
   > I don't build roads. I just drive on them.   
      
   But you sure get to ***PAY*** for them, don't you? And the politically   
   connected Parasites Deliberately skimp on their Quality so every few years,   
   you get to be Inconvenienced, and PAY...Again!!!   
      
   Big Brother says: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH   
      
   But Common Sense says:   
      
   KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!   
      
   So would you rather be emPowered, or DISempowered?

   But you stepped OUTSIDE of their SCHEME and took matters into your own hands   
   to Right Their WRONG and fixed the  problem...yet you appear to have low   
   regard for being similarly Properly emPowered with that kind of Knowledge in   
   favor of instead being Ignorant and Unknowledgeable in technical   
   matters...WHY?

   I'll take it a bit further...how about robots Totally replacing people   
   altogether...for Everything, including Existing!

   Then he should stick to solar panels, because he's way off base when it   
   comes to robotic cars for robotic Zombies!

   Sounds like Honesty stuff to me....because that's how I'd design things, to   
   last indefinitely, but then I believe in Integrity!

   It also Disadvantages the customers, by RIPPING THEM OFF, and therefore   
   presents a Very Serious CONFLICT OF INTEREST!

   It's about time!!!

   I only mentioned a bass player because you did.

   Let me guess, he played Grunge ;)

   My Soulmate and myself are happy as a duo too!
