See, the way I look at it is: It's all about the politics. If Toyota can successfully close a case that has garnered so much publicity as this one has, it becomes much easier to put the actual issue to rest later on, even if future cases are more credible than Sykes'. It simply gives them leverage.

The *public* either is smart enough to know the truth, or dumb enough to keep listening to the news regardless of facts(as has been shown).

The public (or most of it) is only smart enough as the government wants it to be. It is up to the minority of *free-thinking* boys and girls to do their homework and become smarter than what the government and media expect them to be. Ironically, that means that one needs to listen to what they're saying from time to time in order to piece things together.

BTW, I'd like to know where you get your news if not from... news sources?
