Ralph Nader was born in Winsted, Connecticut to Nathra and Rose Nader, Lebanese immigrants who operated a restaurant and bakery. Nader's dream of becoming a "people's lawyer" was instilled in him in adolescence by his parents, who in noisy free-for-alls, conducted family seminars on the duties of citizenship in a democracy. Mark Green, a former Nader associate, said that "When (the Naders) sat around the table growing up it was like the Kennedys. Except that the subject was not power but justice."

Following his graduation in 1951 from Gilbert School, Nader entered the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs at Princeton University. Graduating magna cum laude in 1955, with a major in government and economics, Nader enrolled in Harvard Law School. He became an editor of the Harvard Law Review, and after graduating with honors, set up a small legal practice and traveled widely.

12. It's "red-headed step-child", get your

ridiculous quotes straight. Who ever heard of a bald-headed step-child?

And Clinton dodged the draft.

7. I don't see how that is possible... just because some shill

of his writes a puff piece and says that, does not make it so.

The timeline of his life does not have a spare 6 month period.
But, that is just my opinion.

8. i heard him on a talk show

some time ago and when asked if he ever served, he said he was in the

army for a brief period.

i was surprised when he said that because i couldn't imagine him in

the army. when i saw your original post i had to google him. if he

actually was in the army, why only for 6 months? was he kicked out?

if so, why? no gays in the army? lol. he certainly doesn't talk about

it. is this what the republicans are blackmailing him on?

lots of questions, few answers.

9. I have heard that too... 6 months is hardly time to get

qualified as a regular cook in the Army. I really can't see when the 6 months would have been.

He went from school to school and then Law school, then unbroken public life since.

I don't buy it.

10. Sure, he could've had time

He was Army Reserve.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

11. he "served in the army reserves in 1959"

he apparantly didn't serve very long. so what's his story?

thanks for the links.

6. About 13% of Americans 18-and-over are veterans.

There are 26.4 million Veterans in the US, of which 1.6 million are women.
