Hot off the heels of his brilliant SNL appearence, Al Gore lit up Boston.
In other words, here we are with two crises. A Climate crisis and a Democracy crisis. And we have to fix both of them. We can. The internet is beginning to bring changes in the way we communicate and just in time. We have to also rely upon what we have always relied upon, our freedoms, our individual ability to be actively involved in bringing about change.

And we shouldn't, by the way, just focus on presidential elections, because while my party was doing that, the Republicans took over the country at the grassroots level. I believe that this issue is one that must be addressed in its own right for such urgent reasons. But in the process of addressing it I do believe that we will find the ability to see other challenges that now masquerade as political controversies and see them really as moral issues

Aw, Hell Yeah!

He also talked about how Thomas Paine wrote "the Harry Potter of the 18th century". Hee!
