Nader is cozying up with the far right, yes. He's cutting into Kerry's support, yes.

It is still wrong to play legalistic games in order to keep him off the ballot. I don't doubt that Nader may have violated the letter of the law in Arizona, and maybe he doesn't yet qualify for the Florida ballot on a technicality. Great. Does that mean it's morally right to control ballot access?

Fuck no. Controlling ballot access is a method of controlling who can be elected, pure and simple. It is a way to say "minority opinions of a certain size don't count." I dislike Nader vastly, but let the hypocritical bastard run.

"He was probably one of the greatest living experts on geology and archaeology."

"He was a wizard with electricity."

"Ham looked what he was - a quick thinker and possibly the most astute lawyer Harvard ever turned out. "

Excellence is a core aspect of any good pulp game. In order to establish this for Huey Long's Men of Action, I'm going to steal a trick from San Angelo: City of Heroes and write down some top ten lists. Top ten doctors, top ten boxers, top ten research scientists, top ten aviators, top ten criminal masterminds, top ten archeologists, top ten diplomats... what else? Suggestions for more lists are welcome.

I'm thinking it'd make sense to share these with players as a means towards creating a shared conception of the world. Some entries will be "Unknown." Some of those will be known to me, but not to players. Not too many, though.
