An article about a Ralph Nader appearance at DePauw University, 1970.
September 11, 1970, Greencastle, Ind. - Environmental hazards are "the chief form of domestic violence in our history" and "an assault on our natural habitat," Ralph Nader told a standing room only crowd at DePauw University today. The consumer advocate spoke on "Environmental Hazards: Man-Made, Man-Remedied" in an address at Gobin Memorial Church.

Technology is among the forces wreaking havoc on the environment, Nader told the DePauw audience, and pointed in particular at automobiles. Car crashes have taken more lives than all the wars in which the United States has been involved combined, he stated.

I post this here as a cautionary tale: people who are doing sane things now might veer off into Nutter Buttery twenty-five years later, so be sure to check your sanity periodically or else you might find that you yourself have followed them into all manner of crazy mash.
