Don't ignore Ralph Nader

It is too early for me to decide  - for myself at least -

    who should be president. The dull reality of YEAR 2000 should cure

    us all of Apocalypse fever. Whoever wins the American presidential

    election will NOT be the Anti-Christ. A democracy must live with

    election results.

            Even after the Michigan fiasco, Texas governor Bush smugly

    asserts that Hurricane McCain can't win the REPUBLICAN heart. But

    can George W win the heart of the nation - which is what counts in

    November ?

            Gore  is definitely inspiration challenged - burned out

    by 8 troubled years  as Clinton's vice president ?

          The media should not ignore the noble Ralph Nader who

    is again seeking the Green Party nomination. His potent

    message : " It is necessary to launch a sustained effort to

    wrest control of our democracy from the corporate government

    and restore it to the political government under the control

    of citizens " .

           Yes, restore control to CITIZENS  ! Enough of this

    absurd pandering to RACE and SEX  or to sexual orientation.

    If ordinary citizens lack power , the appeal to various

    irrelevances is just  the sham politics of distraction -

    when it is not pure poison.

           Give THEM hell, Ralph !
