Get to know Ralph Nader
I suspect many of you may know or have heard of Ralph Nader. He's been a part of every Presidential election of this century and is an outspoken critic of corporations but a advocate for consumers. I wrote a few days ago that Ralph was coming to my town. I was unable to see him due to that lost keys fiasco (they are still missing.) A friend of mine did attend the rally and said Ralph was top notch.
I just read an interview with him done by Amy Goodman back in June. Amy pretty much does a good job of getting Ralph to discuss lots of his positions. [ed. note Amy Goodman would generally be characterized as far left liberal or perhaps a more pleasant term, progressive according to her wiki bio. Let's just say she has some baggage that some would be uncomfortable. She shares many of Ralph Nader's positions. From this interview you can see that she is rather friendly towards Ralph and doesn't challenge him on any points. Amy has enough material for another blog article but I'd rather not.] One of Nader's positions I was intrigued by was his plan for alleviating the global food crisis. Neither Obama or McCain have delved too deeply into that issue.
The interview is here.
In other third party news, a debate between the third party candidates is planned for this Sunday at Columbia University in New York, but nobody is going to show up. Well, one person will be there. The interviewer above mentioned above, Amy Goodman, will be the moderator. Perhaps this will be an easy payday if no one shows.
