<VV> "FNADER" is disrespectful

[Secular]

  I think the shear number of corvairs running/restored/raced/autocrossed or what have you, is a sound rebuttal to Nader's point of view - add to that the enlightening report by NHTSA on his allegations and, in my eyes the case is closed shut :)

  With all due respect, I believe this has little to do with being Canadian OR American (unless someone wishes to convince me that there are fundamental differences between section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and the American 1st Amendment). 

  Perhaps, it's got to do with the manner one chooses to express an opposing view - having said that, I personally would not opt to use "F Nader", or for that matter "F anything"  :)  

  In the words of an enlightened southerner:
    Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that !

Yes I am Canadian and I think I can make a generalization that sometimes Canadians are more timid in their approach when compared with Americans. This is not necessarily bad, but there is a difference.

Although I might have some serious issues with what Mr. Nadar had to say about one of my favorite automobiles, I think that it is very disrespectful to crucify his opinion on my license plate or in any other form of public communication. 

I and many of my Countrymen will not persecute anyone for having a different opinion than ours.

It's not that is not you do not have the right to voice your opinion, (many Veterans have served us and the Country to give us this right) but some such as I might take the position that Mr. Nadar actually did us a favor by making our favorite car more affordable to buy. 

Some might even argue that he - Connecticut's own Ralph Nadar - forced the largest automaker in the world to review their investment in making the automobile safer instead of just taking the money to the bank.

Flame on...

Respectfully, Garth
