Well, Andy Kegel, here is one flame [as requested :-)]:

1.  A letter to the editor of U.S. News & World Report a while back said
    something to the effect of "I do not wish to have an explosive cartridge
    aimed at my face"--referring to airbags.  I entirely agree.
2.  Who needs airbags anyway?  Don't you trust your seatbelts?  I do!  I fell
    asleep driving down the highway several years ago; I woke up in an
    inverted car, still traveling down the highway, scattering beautiful
    orange sparks from its roof.  I walked away from the accident with only
    a few bruises.  I was wearing seat belt and shoulder strap.  Belts are
    enough!  We don't need airbags.  (Anyway, cars are already too expensive.)
