In the 50 years since US insurers organized the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, car crashworthiness has improved. Demonstrating this was a crash test conducted on Sept. 9 between a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu. In a real-world collision similar to this test, occupants of the new model would fare much better than in the vintage Chevy.

“It was night and day, the difference in occupant protection,” says Institute president Adrian Lund. What this test shows is that automakers don’t build cars like they used to. They build them better.”

The crash test was conducted at an event to celebrate the contributions of auto insurers to highway safety progress over 50 years. Beginning with the Institute’s 1959 founding, insurers have maintained the resolve, articulated in the 1950s, to “conduct, sponsor, and encourage programs designed to aid in the conservation and preservation of life and property from the hazards of highway accidents.”

A decade after the Institute was founded, insurers directed this organization to begin collecting data on crashes and the cost of repairing vehicles damaged in crashes. To lead this work and the Institute’s expanded research program, insurers named a new president, William Haddon Jr., who already was a pioneer in the field of highway safety. In welcoming Dr. Haddon, Thomas Morrill of State Farm said “the ability to bring unbiased scientific data to the table is extremely valuable.” This scientific approach, ushered in by Dr. Haddon, is a hallmark of Institute work. It’s why the Institute launched the Highway Loss Data Institute in 1972 — to collect and analyze insurance loss results to provide consumers with model-by-model comparisons.

Another Institute milestone was the 1992 opening of the Vehicle Research Center. Since then, the Institute has conducted much of the research that has contributed to safer vehicles on US roads. At the anniversary event, current Institute chairman Gregory Ostergren of American National Property and Casualty summed up a commitment to continue what fellow insurers began in 1959: “On this golden anniversary of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, we celebrate this organization’s accomplishments toward safer drivers, vehicles, and roadways. We salute the vision of the Institute’s founders and proudly continue their commitment to highway safety.”

I didnt realize repeating everything Rush says made them free thinkers! A brain washed zombie like Elisabeth Hasselbeck, another air head.

Free thinkers KNOW the truth:

1. Invasion of Iraq was never about freedom or WMD. It was about giving Billions to Cheney’s Haliburton to save it from bankruptcy. Remember it was Reagan who armed Saddam with chemical weapons and gunships to deploy them. Bush was no better as he gave Saddam $500 Billion in loans when he became president.

2. 9-11 was 100% avoidable. Bush was warned repeatedly for 8 months prior to the attacks. When told that al Qaeda planned to hijack planes, Bush went golfing and then went on the longest vacation ever by any president. FBI knew about these hijackers enrolled in flight schools and wouldve began monitoring them had Bush acted.

3. Clinton did not cause the 2001 Recession. It began April 2001, 3 months after Bush entered office. Until then the economy had grown a record 8 straight years.

4. Clinton did not create Osama bin Laden. Reagan did. He trained and armed bin Laden and his pals the Taliban to fight the Russians. He even invited them to the White House. Had Reagan not helped them al Qaeda would not exist.

5. Barney Frank did not cause the housing meltdown. He did not block any legislation from being passed. It was the Republican controlled House Means & Ways Committee that did. They defeated a bill that would have reined in the subprime lending which was introduced by a Democratic senator.

6. Bush was completely responsible for the housing fiasco. He passed into law the "American Dream Downpayment Initiative" which gave the poor necessary downpayment to buy homes they couldnt otherwise purchase. This law cost home owners $7 trillion in lost property value. Bush also allowed S.E.C. to deregulate banking which allowed them to take on mountains of subprime loans, which the SEC admits was a major mistake.

7. Bush manipulated gas prices by filling up the national reserve back in 2001. This single act cause the price of barrel of oil to rise from $30 a barrel to nearly $60. Gas prices were $1.50 a gal back then. It reached $5 under Bush in California.

8. Obama bowing is nothing compared to Bush kissing and holding hands with his master the Saudis.

9. Reagan was not a great president. He created al Qaeda, armed Saddam with chemical weapons, armed the paramilitary army in Central America that murdered millions of innocent civilians and quadripled the National Deficit. He also had 10% unemployment for several years.

10. Reagan did not free the US hostages in Iran. The deal to free the hostages was already made in secret by Carter’s representatives week before Reagan came into office. But the Iranians wouldnt allow Carter to announce it because of his association with the overthrown Shah. So idiots that claim Reagan freed the hostages in 2 hours are bunch of parrot idiots.

11. Obama did not create the Great Recession of 2007. It began Dec 2007 under Bush and cost 4 Million jobs from Dec 2007-Dec 2008, a full year before Obama entered office.

why do the liberals claim to be paid thinkers?
