AL Gore? I bet he couldn't grow grass on the football field for the Tennessee football team.

But I am glad he is trying to do something other than running for an office that is not looked upon as a President in charge.

I voted for Bush but someone should of; the courts,senate, whatever it took to relieve him of office. George W. Bush should have a complete mental evaluation. He is set in the history books as a President who sent Men & Women into harms way and he didn't even have as good a reason as the Korean conflict.

You can bet your ass that if Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy even Richard Nixon were in charge IRAG would be the least of their worries. TW

Its hard to keep a balance between having a lot of money and living a certain lifestyle and promoting your green living message. For the rest of us non-millionaires, its the simple things we do that make a difference. Sun Microsystems, who comes in first place in Silicon Valley for lowest carbon emissions every year, is hosting a free event to share their wealth of knowledge regarding conservation and sustainability at a free event called Energy Camp January 10, 2008. Its my New Year's resolution:: www.openeco.org/energycamp

Oh stop whining!!!

Do you just not agree with his message and think you would like to have what he has and spend it on yourself?

Of course Al Gore is spending money. You think any of the powerful people (or the spoiled masses in the industrialized nations) would bother to listen to someone who has nothing and does nothing (and is as an individual a less polluting person)? This is Al Gore, the former vice president, son of a US senator. He knows and gets to be with certain people and he uses his influence and money to further human knowledge and convince society to do the right thing now. Advertising ANYTHING costs a lot of money. But spending a lot of money on advertising environmentally correct actions is not acceptable while advertising beer, clothes, cars, computers, etc. is OK????

Why is this an issue? Are his actions wasteful if compared to his goals? Is what he says any less right because he's got money? Are poor people who consume and pollute less more right when they speak about the environment? Is the message of people who support waste, pollution, and environmental destruction better if they are rich?

If my goal was to convince political leaders of this planet to change the way we think about our environment and listen to rather unpopular scientific data I would need money to accomplish my goal. He's got it - he is using it.

Has he ever said that living like him will save the planet? I do not think so. I assume he knows it would not. That is not the point since this is not his message. The level of truth in a statement cannot be measured by the wealth of the messenger. And you cannot be in the position Al Gore is unless you have power in our society. And right now that means having and spending money.

If anyone here knows how to put his message forward as efficiently as he and his team did it with much less money I would like to see it described here.

Come on, I am waiting!
