He seems to throw around the accusation of arrogance on the part of those in power. I find this ironic as he cannot see his own arrogance. He has never held a public office, never been married, is not admired as a moral leader, a poor public speaker; yet all of this does not register in his self reflection as a futile attempt at being president. He knows he won't win of course, but revels in the opportunity to get on camera and say something.<BR/><BR/>You're correct in his method of cherry picking, which a lot of anti-nuclear people do. <BR/><BR/>I've thought for a long time that Ralph was mentally unbalanced. Searching around, I found <A HREF="http://crab.rutgers.edu/~goertzel/NaderBio.html" REL="nofollow">this essay</A> and the <A HREF="http://books.google.com/books?id=mHnbLYVAn9kC&pg=PA231&lpg=PA231&dq=Puritanical+Compulsive+type&source=web&ots=BE43iP2l6P&sig=p9tkg8g788rZe5jkS9Bqt8rBPmY&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result" REL="nofollow">online book</A> to describe the personality type of the puritanical compulsive. I don't think Ralph is a religious man, but the description fits him to a T otherwise.Jason Ribeirohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06863185203119704249noreply@blogger.com
