Please Read and Please Be Jealous

Just to make you all jealous I have to get the word out:
Last month while I was on the close up trip in DC we went to see a pacifist speaker. Everybody walked down to fill up all the rows near the front, but the day we left for the trip, I had fallen down the stairs of my house and injured my ankle, so it would hurt too much to go down there, so I sat near the aisle in the back row. About fifteen minutes into the speech/debate a man walks in and sits down next to me. I recognize his face from somewhere, but don't know quite who he is, so I just say "Hi" and he smiles and says "Hi" and we continue to listen to the speaker. About 10 minutes later he says he has to go and gets up and leaves. On the bus I ask one of our program instructors if he recognized the guy who was sitting with me and just laughs and says, "Yeah, I talked to him in the bathroom, man. That was Ralph Nader." So now I'm like holy shit. I sat with, and made small chat with, fucking Ralph Nader. That really made my day.
Just thought I'd let you all know.
