anysiaThe truth about global warming, commercialism, big business, and governments that just don't care.
It's rather shocking yet not surprising to hear that the governments of the world and their cronies are reaping huge profits at not only the peoples' expense, but at the expense of our future generations. Politicians and big business working hand in hand, turning the clock back to an almost feudalistic society, where money, information and power is in the hands of a select few, and the rest of the people be damned. And now with the current upset in the US Senate and House of Representatives, that balance of feudal power will will be broken, and it will shift back to the people, and people will once again make informed choices and actions.
What i found very shocking was Mr. Gore saying that the day after the elections, a committee on global warming finally got a call from someone on the hill. They hadn't heard anything from anyone in gov't in 6 years. Do the math. The last time anyone in the White House or the upper echelons of government cared about this blue marble we live in was during the Clinton Administration. Remember that one? Economic growth for everyone (not just Halliburton or other people in Bush family coffers), a budget surplus and a plan to get rid of our national debt in 10 years?
There are simple things we can all do to reduce greenhouse gasses and our impact on the environment.
I will be going to see the movie, and more than likely get the book too. All proceeds/profits on the sale of the books and DVDs don't go to Mr Gore, but to further combating the effects of Global Warming, and educating people/governments about it.
Ok, now for a bit of humor: As we were leaving the concert hall, I noticed a woman wearing a certain lapel pin. I had my small American Flag out, and I said "Please tell Mr. Gore I am one of the Florida Absentee voters that did vote for him, and I just hope my vote did get counted."
She came over, gave me what I thought was gonna be the typically hug, cheek to cheek kiss noise, but she whispered to me "I am the consulate general, and I also voted for him. Don't tell anyone."
edit: I didn't think I would HAVE to say this, but she was JOKING!!!! Hence why I prefaced it with "Now for a bit of humor:"
