The more that I develop this alternate life here in the Philippines the less I get all pissed off and bothered about the coming election.

Knowing that Nader is running just makes me laugh at this point.

Nader has saved thousands of lives with his consumer advocacy over the years.

It's amazing that he's made a joke out of himself like this.

I know you're probably just kidding, but my sister's life was probably saved by Ralph Nader. If any one human being can be considered responsible for the widespread addition of seat belts and other safety devices in cars, it's Nader. My sister was hit head on by a guy who crossed over the line on a windy mountain road. Nothing she could have done to avoid it. She was hospitalized, but her seat belt, the padded dash, and the collapsible steering column made her injuries much less severe. Nader didn't invent any of those things, but his consumer advocacy made them standard in modern cars.

I still wouldn't vote for him. He's a professional pain in the ass.
