I say he is doing exactly what he is asking others to do. He uses twenty times more energy than the average American, fine. Now if the average American would start doing one twentieth the amount of work he does everyday in pursuit of a cleaner, healthier, cooler world, then we would be getting somewhere. | And yet again, Al Gore has proven that he's an environmental liar and hypocrite!  |
