If you ever want to listen to a sane environmentalist, I heartily recommend Bjorn Lomborg and Paul Driessen. Yes, they care about the environment but they always put the people first.
Prior to 2000 (I made a protest vote for Nader, btw - stupid in that I certainly could have found a better third party choice had I studied), I had never really thought all that badly of Gore. I thought that he was a decent Senator (one of those DLC kind of guys) and not that bad of a VP, either. But ever since he made that movie in which he deceived the American public (Michael Crichton, an actual Gore supporter who broke with him significantly on global warming, even went as far as to say that there was virtually nothing in it that was accurate), profited handsomely off of it via cronyism, and then sold his TV network to Middle-Eastern oil, I have completely lost every bit of respect for him that I may have once had.

To think he would have been President if his scheme to ignore what was on the ballots had gone through.

I think Tipper feel's the same as you do Will......
Definitely the better half she proved to be.
Will: My opinion of Gore then was more similar to yours than not. I even read his "Earth in the Balance" back then...
