Nader has shot his wad, that's why they don't have him on. I'd rather have two parties that encompass most people then multiple parties that bring the system to a halt like in Israel. Then again there is the Hamas method. Throw the other guy off the roof. Which come to think of it is the Arab way.

I also liked Studs and Royko. I went to where Royko hung out.

It's not for PBS to ignore a person like Nader, with all he has added to the American good and discourse because he "shot his wad." He's running for POTUS.

PBS record shows constant showing of fringe ideas, as well they should. So, SOG, please how about a little brains from your end?

Too much to ask?

PS: How about the Israeli way? You know, just assassinate those you don't like, toss the rest in jail, torture them, pretend they don't exist by the thousands? Leave cluster bombs in the field for their children to play with–all paid for by USA dollars…

HAMAS was democratically elected just as much as any Israeli
parliament with its no-go for any Arab member swing vote.
