Is Ralph Nader a robot?

I wanted him once many years ago, but now that I know so much more about him, I don't want him at all. I was a Democrat for years, turned Independent, now thinking seriously of becoming a full blown Republican. That's the only party with the old patriotic ways that made America.

I think Ralph Nader's statement may have been about news and entertainment.  5% of the people control the content of the news and entertainment we all see.  People are influenced by what they see in the media.  It is obvious by your questions that you are buying everything the liberal left is selling you.  When you say the planet is going down the drain it implies things used to be better.  Perhaps you preferred our nation before the Civil Rights movement?  Maybe you liked it when women couldn't vote?  Remember that politicians made those changes.  The World is both better now and worse now depending on the issue you are looking at.  I believe people are about as happy as they choose to be.  It appears you have chosen to be bitter and negative.  That will impact your life far more than it will impact others who choose to be happy.  Does that mean I agree with everything going on in our nation or the world?  NO!  I simply choose to focus on the issues directly in front of me that I can have some impact on.  I try to help the people I meet and work to build a better community where I live.  As for spending my days debating national politics I recognize the truth of what Ralph Nader said.  I really only know what the 5% tell me about any issue.  I do not spout the "party line" for either party.  I look for evidence of good outcomes from action rather than jumping on the bandwagon to hate "liberals or conservatives" just for the label the 5% have given them.  I also realize that my vote is the only real political power I have in this country, unless I am willing to do the work of building a coalition of voters. It seems today that the political climate in our nation tends to be more shrill.  We are fast to say "I hate the person" so none of their ideas can be good rather than examine the ideas.  As for your sub question "Exactly how stupid ARE the people in this country?  I would say it's more a question of being lazy than of being stupid.  It's easy to turn on the TV and choose which side you want to cheer for.  It's far more work to examine issues in your own community and work for solutions to problems you find.  Always remember, no matter what the talking heads on TV tell you the truth is "LIFE IS A GRASSROOTS ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE"

as an opertator of a CNC laser... I can tell you this. Robotics are totally necessary for a business to compete. I make the coolest parts in a blink of an eye.

Noam Chomsky.  Simply because I tend to agree with most of his viewpoints and it would be a welcomed change to have someone smart enough to be a proffesor at MIT as president of the United States.

A New World Order in principle is great.  In a world of robots it is perfection.  For humans it is horribly flawed if your interest is in the "common good" for all.  Human nature is never taken into account.

I was going to write a long detailed answer to this but I realized that I was just giving you an abridged version of this paper by Ray Kurzweil\n\nhttp://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0134.html?printable=1\n\nThis guy is no quack.  He's been recognized by President Clinton and Bill Gates, to name a few, as being on the forefront of predicting future technology.\n\nHis explanation of why the heavens are so quiet comes at the end of the paper, but everything before that is also really interesting.

Its been done already!!!! I read a headline about a company (I'm sorry I don't remember which one) that created a robot controlled by brain waves.  WOW!

Los Angeles, 2019: Rick Deckard of the LPD's Blade Runner unit prowls the steel & micro-chip jungle of the 21st century for assumed humanoids known as 'replicants'. Replicants were declared illegal after a bloody mutiny on an Off-World Colony, and are to be terminated upon detection. Man's obsession with creating a being equal to himself has back-fired.\n\nSummary written by Matt McQuillan {mjment@hotmail.com}\n\ndo androids dream of electric sheep?

Artificial speech. Made by machine. Robot laguage.

An idea for a nanobot or robot that would be bad news for the world, depending what it could use as building material.\n\nWe really don't want machines replicating in a geometric progression... which they probably couldn't anyway.\n\nIn Sci-Fi they seed places with these nanobots and when activated they build combat equipment after making enough of themselves. That's just fiction though and lets hope it stays that way.

Sort of.\niRobot make the Roomba that does vacuuming and they are nearing completion of one that mops for you. Technically they are robots, but look more like mechanical pizzas.\n\nThere are many robotic machines designed to improve tasks in industrial settings, Many of these are used for chores liek dishwashing. Also robots are used to do hazardous jobs like cleaning toxic oil storage vats or radiation areas, etc.

Being able to communicate your ideas is key. Having a great idea is just the first step. If you can't convince anyone that it IS great, then you may as well forget about it.\n\nSadly, now that attractive physical attributes play a major role in today's society, you not only have to speak well, you have to look good.\n\nI'm convinced Ralph Nader will NEVER be taken seriously on account of that funky thing he has going on with his right eye. Sad and shallow, just like 75% of our population.

Ralph Nader's book "Crashing the Party" is a great resource.  He recants he experience trying to garner attention during the 2000 election.

Apparently if he revealed himself it would be against his rules.  Some have said "no one wants a robot to love them... you wouldn't have a choice to believe if he showed himself, you'd have to".\n\nYeah.... and?  I think, as a deity, I'd prefer "robot"-like belief to my creations being cast down to Hell in droves for being incapable of conceiving of something so wonky as a God.

No, Condoleeza Rice is a robot that was created after Good Times went off the air. She was, however, on Powerpuff Girls.

what they did with that mouse.. was..\n\nthey were able to recognize what areas of the brain that control movements of the limbs, they had a plate of sensors inserted into a man's skull and he was able to manouver a pointer in the computer with pure thought\n\nit works only by sensing electrical impulses in specific areas of the brain. and it could one day lead to conecting fake limbs to handicapped people

He is a puppet of the New World Order of which his father, Donald, Dick and many other elite are members of.\n\nSo Yes!
