This comment was basically about Ralph Nader. He agreed with many of the issues that Ralph stood for, but felt that he was wrong taking votes away from an individual that was in a better position to win. So Ralph Nader was right on many of his positions about government and corporate America, but wrong to run when he knows damn well he is not going to win.

My Mom used to say something similar about pedestrians coming in the middle of the street with cars racing by. People had the right of way to be in the middle of the street, but they would be dead if someone hit them. Her comment was, "you can be right and be dead at the same time."

Peace
