When in my late teens and early twenties, Ralph Nader was in the news a lot. He was about the only political activist that made any clear sense. Today, his many organizations continue his career work. There is a lot of research that the Nader organizations do.
Later this month, Ralph Nader turns 81. The attorney (1958), the author, the activist, the lecturer, the four-time third party candidate is still in the news for consumer rights,humanitarianism and environmentalism, not to mention his democratic government stance. His many organizations helped to create the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration).
The Atlantic Monthly's list of "100 most influential Americans" ranked Nader 96, which brings to mind the fact that I have long reached the conclusion that Ralph Nader has done more good for the consumer American than any one else.
Today, I listened to a YouTube video of Ralph Nader given a couple of years ago at the Green Festival in Washington before a packed crowd. The clip runs about 54 minutes and is not boring by any means. The man isn't the radical that some think him to be. Then, take the time to read the comments on the video.
Watch, "The Road to Corporate Fascism" on YouTube.com
