I was just about to ask if anyone was thinking of Nader. How old is that guy anyway? Hasn't he run for president the past 3 or 4 times? Anyway, for the most part, I like Nader. Of course, I often think I should be the leader of the universe, but if it can't be me, might as well choose the best alternative I can find.
Secret? I voted democratic socialist in '96. I've calmed down a little (was a junior at a hippy liberal arts school at the time), but I still lean left, so I like Nader. But then I know that, in all reality, voting for Nader is like wasting a vote. I used to think "a vote for a candidate you don't really want is what is truly a wasted vote." But that was just a pretty cliche. Neither Nader nor any candidate like him will be president in all my years on earth, so I might as well choose the democrat in "the closest race in 40 years" and feel like my vote is actually going to make a difference.
And wow! I didn't know Canada and England shared a queen. I didn't even know Canada had a queen! I thought they just had a prime minister and that was it.
