39. Nader is more famous and has a bigger microphone than any of us. Worship him!

Um, no.

I'm still free so far to explain that Nader is wrong about this. He wants to do something about oil prices and that's not the problem that America has. The problem that America has is we need to do away with our addiction to environment-killing, increasingly scarce fossil fuels. We will do away with it or it will do away with us.

This truth is irrefutable whether or not Ralph Nader is more famous than any of us.
