26. You know, cali, I remember Ralph Nader as the guy who fought for consumer rights.
Yep, that's the way I remember him. I think we have seat-belts because of him. I'm sure there's more on that list. I'm also sure there are many here who will happily correct me.

When I think of arrogant, I think "cock-'o-the-walk" who hasn't earned it. The lucky sperm club; the frat-boy who never had to think/work club; the women who marry in order to claim same. Ralph Nader...not so much.

palin isn't anti-corporatist, nor is she corporatist; she's cheering for the end-times.

Nader was right, though I'd correct his choice of words. She has played her base well; I don't call that smart; I call that sly.

That Nader doesn't see that, would be just another example of how insulated he's become while fighting that which he would not become.

Look up Sun Tsu for that last sentence to make sense.
