Why Debate Taboos?
Debating Taboos
“Debating Taboos” – Ralph Nader’s latest brainchild – is a series of substantive debates that aims to bring attention to civic issues so controversial or taboo they have rarely, if ever, addressed in the media, legislative bodies or the electoral arena.
Each debate will feature prominent public advocates who will take opposing viewpoints, and a knowledgeable and nimble moderator to keep the pace quick and substantive. No clinching, no evasion, no wheel spinning.
These debates should propel taboo subjects into the public dialogue and even into the political process. Perhaps even the two major parties – who have long marginalized or ignored taboo topics all together – will take note.
