Al Gore and the prize o' peace
Well, Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace Prize, and look at our president. Show of hands, who thinks that GeOGRE W. Bush is going to win a Nobel Peace Prize in his lifetime? Anyone? No? Ok. You know, Al Gore could have been our president. But now, things are different. We lost that chance. Instead we're locked into an expensive war overseas that most Americans can't even fathom.
Meanwhile day to day life in America gets a little more sour every day. Pissing people off across the planet. Paying taxes that pay for bullets and bombs that are shot at people. Pretty amazing, really. The sky is always just a little browner, the stars a little more difficult to see, the water a little bit less drinkable, every day. I can't help but wonder if it would have been different if Al Gore had been elected. Of course it would have been different.
It's days like these that I am especially happy that I have Addie in my life. Love will save us all.
