I thought it was a Latin conjugation of humidor..

I think Ralph said "hobbida ,hobbida,hobbida" actually!

Gbbob- I’ve got news for you Gore lost the election. Numerous recounts by parties like the NY Times confirmed it. It was extremely close but he lost. Why do you say he should have won? He should have won if he got more votes than Bush in Florida. He didn't.

Dahoss- as bad as Bush is I’m much more comfortable with him than I would have been with Gore. I have a real distaste for Gore and would not want him for commander in chief.

I feel about the Live Earth concert sorta like Chris Rock who said "I pray that this event ends global warming the same way that Live Aid ended world hunger,"
I never understood how simply having a concert solves anything, even if the goal is as simple drawing attention to the issue.

What they have drawn attention to is themselves and how they’re hypocrites. The jet-setting global stars that put this on are the poster children for energy waste.
Metallica. Snoop Dogg, Madonna? What is the message here? How does this translate into anything to fight global warming?

It's all about this guy being hot now, and his quest to stay relevant.
Academy Award, Nobel Prize, future president, founder of the Green Religion?

ArlJim,
Both sides' views are in this article.
Generating awareness, successful.
Solving the problem, no.
Gore? No comment from me.

the temperature has also gone up on mars (is our pollution drifting?) which would fit in with the theory of it being the sun.

I still don't understand how Gore can make everyone drink the Kool-Aid when he is the biggest hypocrit when it comes to energy consumption.

I am totally cereal on this, too...

the best part was alicia k with her big leggie!!

The concert was a complete waste. Very rich people doing whatever their thing is. global warming is occurring with most likely very limited if any human influence. Ice ages have come and gone in the history of time with very limited human influence as well!! The planet has always warmed and cooled...a lot.

That being said. I really don't understand the hatred of Al Gore. There have been multitudes of worse humans than him inhabiting the planet. He feels strongly about an issue, and actually makes legit points about it. Whether he is right or wrong...it should be a very wise thing to explore by the entire planet...begin limiting fossil fuel consumption...with the ultimate goal of ending it. It simply makes sense regardless of which political party you belong to or support. Or whether you hate Al Gore or not. I don't think the complete ending of fossil fuel use will ever come, but we as human beings should really look to start limiting the use. Enertainers in politics generally is a bad mix, but it does happen and sometimes they can rise...Ronald Reagan, Gopher from the Love Boat, Shirley Temple, and Steve Largent all come to mind.

Al Gore is not the embodiement of evil as many on one side of the political spectrum like to suggest. And he never said he invented the internet. I used to be on that side of the political spectrum, but Al Gore was the first democrat I pulled the trigger for in a presidential election and I remain confident that was the correct choice in that election given the two whom were running. If the media were truly "liberal", George Bush would never have become president. Al Gore was poorly treated by said "liberal" media in 200 with said internet inventing...sighs during debates magnified and talked about for days on end and many other things that meant nothing tipped the scales in my opinion. Bush was the golden media boy in 2000 and his own alcoholism was never broached as a subject in said election. Gore sighing was a much bigger issue in 2000 than a potential non-treated alcoholic as president.

and on that note:

article on gores comments, and how the media, the gop and bush handled them.

i've never cared much for gore--as to whether he'd have been better than bush, well who knows?
