Would his name be HVAC Man? Vent Man? What would his powers be? Would his costume be a grey flannel suit, or something as flashy as that?

6. actually, no, because it was Ralph Nader who hit the kid's . . .
garment industry for its flammable nightwear for children. After plaintiffs lawyers sued the hell out of the kid's garment industry, Nader pushed through federal regulations to make such flammable clothing illegal.

11. Yeah but who remembers stuff like that after all this shit?
That stuff will be the footnote, and his freak-ass runs for president will be the story when he gets his place in the Encyclopedia Britannica. He could have maybe stopped it, but this run glued it in place.

9. What's wrong with Superhero undies?
I have a pair of Superman undies. I know it's irrational, but I love wearing them.

5. well, with all due respect . . .
Ralph Nader has been this country's best consumer advocate in our history. Give him that much, it's well-deserved.

Nader often said, unabashedly too, "no, I'll never run for elected office because I can do much better, here, on the outside fighting them than I can if I become part of the government, too!"

Well. What happened? Nader got fed-up.

As the country went farther and farther and farther to the right, politically and legally, Ralph said, "hey, wait a minute, I better run for president and stop this." And once Nader sets his agenda on a goal to better America, nobody can tell him otherwise.

However, there's a caveat to all of this that Nader does not want to grasp. He's doing damage. Great and deep damage by running.

I've often hoped that Nader will not be the asterisk in political history that enumerates the y2k election and this election as over-riding all the good that Nader has done in his long advocacy career.

WAKE UP, RALPH !!!!
