hb - ...i thought price controls were roundly discredited by now...of course it can't hurt to have an anti-corporations consumer watch dog out there ... Are you sure? The best thing that can be said for Ralph Nader is that he MAY simply be ignorant and confused, and not the corrupt plotter on behalf of the trial lawyers that he appears to be. I'm inclined to believe that he personally is the cause of at least a 5% lower overall US standard of living than would otherwise be the case. Even real politicians have not often had the success that he has had in channeling the force of government to enrich the few at the expense of all, while appearing to be a neutral, uninvolved catalyst. Only his blocking of Gore's Presidential lust gives him a chance to escape the depths of hell. -g- Regards, Don
