I am with you on that. If Nader fell of a cliff I wouldn’t cry very much.
He is being an idiot with this election. At first I think he was really just trying to put the 3rd party candidates on the map, but now I think he just has a chip on him shoulder. He is mad that the Democrats have been trying to stop him, and the Republicans have been trying to help just for selfish purposes. He is just getting nasty now. The last speech I saw him make was just annoying.
He is also just a self righteous a**. Mr. I don't drive a car so I am SOOO much better then you.
Sorry I just get angry when people bring him up. I don't usually get this nasty. Posts: 1015 | Registered: Aug 2004

That's just because no one ever answers no when a hippo asks if an article of clothing makes them look fat.
I mean, jeez, you make the mistake of saying yes once and the girl tries to take your ear off. Imagine if that was happening 24/7.

If anyone wants to get a kick out of a Nader reference, read "Eon" by Greg Bear. I about died laughing. I think the guy loves Ralph Nader or something. He basically used Ralph Nader's whatever-he-did-in-the-80's philosphy to create a futuristic religion. Personally, just looking at the guy makes me gringe. Posts: 3003 | Registered: Oct 2004

See, I only noticed the hippo poo thing because the zoo person made a huge freaking deal over it because the hippo spins his tail while he poos which means poo goes ALL OVER THE PLACE.

There needs to be a new breed of horror movie that revolves around the hippo. I mean, spiders and snakes and bees and aliens are so 70s.

Hippos are like the cows of the river, only they hate you and will crush your puny body in their massive bulldozer-like jaws for no reason.

I'm not gonna argue with ya on that. With the exception of a few scenes that burned out my eyes in the end, I couldn't put the book down.

Some of his other stuff now.....He's out there. Great books he writes (insert yoda voice) if you understand genetics terminology and all.

I've only read Eon. Was grocery shopping, saw the book on the shelf, decided to grab it. Some of it went WAY the heck over my head, but I guess that's part of the point of Hard Sci-Fi Posts: 3003 | Registered: Oct 2004

Sadly he takes money from the right it seems. I want the Green party to be more mainstream. They seem cool, but Nader's not in it anymore.

ya, Eon got me started. Darwin's radio and Darwin's children are good too, even Vitals, but they are not really Sci-Fi.

Eon was the first in the Way series? Yeah, it was alright. Some of the other stank though, and the story he wrote for Far Horizons was absolutely awful. >_< Posts: 13680 | Registered: Mar 2002

For years I had a newspaper clipping on my board about an African river guide who was half swallowed head first hippo that attacked his tour boat. He was rescued, but lost an arm to the Hippo. His comment on what it was like to be swallowed by a Hippo -- "It was really dark.

That brings up the question of whether said hippos have or have not received their vaccinations. A hippo might have a severe allergic reaction to a candidate like Nader.
