Omg! Your Al Gore comment was basically what I was saying to my friends. Seriously? They couldn't find anyone else more worthy...? You also vocalized very well what I found so disquieting about Al Gore the man: his "smarminess." I keep wondering if he got the Nobel Peace Prize because of his fame...Hopefully I'll be proven totally and completely wrong.

I know what you mean. I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he's not exactly trustworthy. I mean, he is an ex-politican, after all. They always have a hidden agenda, a selfish one. Perhaps Gore's is simple: the belief that he really is the President of the American people by popular choice. I haven't followed his thoughts and actions so I don't know much about what kind of man he is. We just have to hope he doesn't let it all go to his head - oops! too late! :)
