"In your 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, you have more judgment and experience and, hopefully, wisdom. But the breakthrough, the pioneering initiative, the great idea, the resolve starts in your 20s," activist and three-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader told students at DePauw University tonight. "It has roots earlier, to be sure. But it starts in your twenties," Nader added. He presented the Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture, "Don't Waste Your 20's! Your Most Creative Decade," to approximately 1,100 people in the Green Center for the Performing Arts' Kresge Auditorium.
http://www.collegenews.org/x7419.xmlIn the past I've describe Ralph Nader as a "political predator", and that I will be his Chris Hansen, stopping him from his predations. I've noted before that he preys on college students, and now here you see a hint of the fact that he knows that someone's wisdom and judgement is not what it will be in their 30s and beyond. This is why he has appeal to college students, because they are more impressionable and can be more easily manipulated into making an unwise decision, such as voting for Ralph Nader. Even scientists studying human brain development will tell you that the sense of risk is not fully developed until you reach your mid-twenties.
