We need to win the war on anti western democracy. either you are for the west winning or just join the other side and leave America. I will pay for your ticket.

nader is one of those guys that want to outlaw every little risk society faces, rather than leaving the choice to the person in danger.

[Jowind]

There's an uneducated opinion if I've ever seen one.

Consider a chemical company producing dangerous food additives. The company is aware of the danger but does not notify the public or withdraw its product. Is there really any choice for the person in danger?

Consider a public good, such as clean air. Should it be free for a company to pollute the air, thereby causing cancer and asthma in thousands of innocents? Or should those who breathe air be expected to, somehow, find new unpolluted air?

[ndes0532]

If the company hides risks inherent in their products then that's another matter. Nader however wants to ban risky products even if the risks are familiar to the costumer. That's unnecessary, costly and depending on Naders judgement sometimes even bad.

@Jowind you make a solid point

[Zchronic]

You are an uninformed goof. You don't know shit about Nader.

[ndes0532]

Since you appear to be more knowledgeable, why don't you enlighten me?

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

I just listened to Chris Hedges speech and he seemed to like Ralph Nadar and so I am listening to him more.

If Dr. Paul wins in 2012 it would be great if Nader got a seat in the administration. He deserves it.

but they are the exact opposites haha

[Muzikhead993]

@irishbull777 they're actually not that different in several key areas...which is kinda cool considering how divided the U.S. is right now.
