Thread Name: Nader for President
Subject: RE: Nader for President
Canadians and the rest of the world have a big stake in the two issues no one is talking about. If Bush gets elected, he will press ahead with the anti-missile defence shield. If he does that, then we are into a new arms race, and countries like Canada will have to join in or be punished. This monumentally stupid idea will go ahead if Bush is elected, and possibly may not if Gore is. This is one of the two critical issues for the rest of the 21st century. We will enter into a new nuclear era.
The other is global warming, about which Al Gore has said nothing, because he is scared to be passionate about things he says he is concerned about. It is totally mysterious to me, but I assume it is because his consultants told him he would be laughed at. But the idea that George W. Bush will do anything about it is even more laughable.
That is what is at stake for the rest of us on planet Earth. Have a good election, guys!!!!
