Gore is a fear pimp. Does anybody remember how he let Tipper run around in the 1980s and her fight against rock music? This is his/her new crusade. They are a bunch of hillnillies without a thought among them. LOOK AT WHERE THEY LIVE AND HOW THEY TRAVEL. Carbon payback my ass.

Well everybody knows that Al

Well everybody knows that Al Gore's mission is not an easy one, perhaps this is why I keep reading about him being judged by everybody in any way. If somebody thinks he can do better we would gladly like to see that, until then let the man do his job. I support his initiatives, and I am glad he is trying to open the eyes of the world. These events are not enough, I actually gladly bought London Concert tickets for this cause and everything was just amazing, so many people having the same spirit, an unique experience. Since then I started to care more about a piece of paper or nylon.
