A former coworker's husband claims to have grown up with Ralph Nader.. |
|
...he was born in Winstead, CT around the same time. Said the Nader family was weird (big surprise), were never allowed to eat dessert, and when the mother did make a cake and served a piece, she took it away from Ralph and his brother when they'd only eaten a little.
Sort of sounds true, because it would explain a lot!

3. Wow, he got his cake taken from him? |
|
What kind of a wacko mom gives a kid some cake then takes it away? Strange.
I agree his childhood probably had something to do with how he turned out.

4. I know, it's one thing to NOT give a kid a piece of cake... |
|
...but to do so only to take it back is really whacko.

6. "If you don't eat your meat, |
|
you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"
Another brick in Nader's thick skull.

7. Is that from Mommy Dearest? |

Where Joan brings out the rotting meat for about a week each night for Christina's dinner?

12. Would it be a stretch to say that Nader's parents are responsible for more deaths? |
|
After all, Iraq, 9-11 (I still claim that could have been rpevented with a President in office who had a brain), coal mining accidents due to not enforcing safety regs...I could go on.

13. that would be a stretch |

Nader was a superb consumer activist.
Unfortunately his legacy will forever be being a fly in the ointment.
