Event Name: Ralph Nader - Activist and Author of Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us
"Can't Subsidize Hubris"
Comment posted by: Sandy from San Jose, CA, Sep 30, 2009
Mr. Nader did so much for America decades ago, but his hubris in 2000 is too much to bear. Many of us cannot bear to fund it.

What an awesome person to meet and hear. How many people - much less women - can one name who has headed as public a company as HP, and who has been in the public eye, under heavy criticism, and given up so much in life to lead with a strong hand? Ah, women of the world, take note, and lead through the criticisms, the male-dominated world of the Board Rooms, and corporations. Take charge. Carly is, and was, definitely a woman with a vision. I am looking forward to learning from her! Collapse

"Critical topic for progressives with interest in politics"

The language they use is an important part of how conservatives have been able to dominate the national agenda. All too often, progressives and media folks help them do so by unwittingly using terms that reinforce the conservatives' positions. George Lakoff is an expert on decoding political language, and a clear and engaging speaker. You're guaranteed to learn something important from his talks. "Freedom" is going to continue to be one of the hot topics in American political discourse. Progressives need to learn how to talk about freedom in ways that express effectively what WE mean when WE use that word. Collapse
