Are you a professional comedian? Your material is priceless

I see your point but the problem is that it only considers the costs from one point of view. What if just half of what Gore theroizes comes true? The havoc it would wreak on nature and hence economies would be disastrous as well. We have to find a balance here but what the debate has now is two entrenched political sides and the issue needs to be free of partisan crap. Worse yet is the fact that Gore is not in power and corporate largess to congress has been from the industrial side not the environmental side. The powers that be in DC now (Bush) have held secret energy policy setting mettings with fossil fuel firms; has reduced scientists to support roles for poliitcal appointees who are selling ideology; and as I read today the GAO found that the EPA's scientists have been marginalized by appointees inre to their efforts on hazadous chemicals. Pathetic political goals have replaced science in this country now and no one seems to be bothered about that. Just that Gore is a quack. How easily we are distracted from the real thing.

If Obama gains the election, Gore could easily win as an independent. Obama is like John Edwards in the fact that many people are just getting his 'fluff' and no facts. When Bush was asked about the difference between Cheney and Edwards in the 2004 election he laughed and said, "Cheney is qualified to be president."

The good news would be that many of you who clamor for a 3rd party to win would get it. The bad news is most of you hate Gore. It's completely undeserved hate but it is none the less hate.

I don't know if you know this, but the primary season is already underway. You should invent a time machine and write your letter a year ago. Even if Gore got all of the remaining delgates and superdelegates, he wouldn't have enough to win.

By saying that Democrats should nominate Al Gore, do you mean that Democratic delegates should defy the will of the voters and elect someone who isn't running for President? And then you want to give the VP position to Hillary, even though Obama has more delegates? No, the fact that Democrats passed up Richardson, Kucinich, Biden and Dodd for Hillary and Obama betrays their lack of wisdom, but that doesn't mean we should abandon what little democracy remains in the party.

Libertarians recognize no right to pollute the commons. We believe redress of the problem is better through the tort system, but we are not opposed to preventing harm to the environment.

However, economic distortions have consequences. If we make major changes to our economy in vain hopes of controlling the climate, the consequences for some will be deadly. When Americans decide they can get a second season out of their walking shoes, third world children starve.

The changes Gore proposes will cause economic ripples that will kill hundreds of thousands of poor children. They will be chalked up to malaria, TB or simple diarrhea, but the real cause will be simple economic inefficiency.

A century from now, Gore may be remembered as the greatest mass murderer in history, and his weapon will have been a stupid movie.

I really hope your thoughts about Gore's theories(which I am sure are all based on sound proven scientific data because you dismiss him as though you know better)do come true. Maybe he is all wrong, but what if he is even partially right and we just sat back and let the industry folks continue to pour cash into politicians and "research" debunking what man-caused warming can do, and then let the earth (hence us) suffer. Maybe not us but our future generations. You obviously dislike him and that dislike has seemingly turned into a dismissal of his works based on your personal feelings for him. So much for objectivity. It really is hard to take serioulsy the extremely pro-industrial stand of a Libertarian in a topic such as the environment. Industry and the market, if it had its way, would do nothing but pollute (which it did in the past) and do what was cheapest for the bottom line-its share holders. Right now and since the beginning, industry had all the money and power so it is time for other voices to be heard.

Sadly, that is probably true, but that is only because so many people have such a shallow understanding of science and history, and none at all of economics.

He could probably get elected by the majority of the voters who get their science from movies and whose knowledge of history is blank for that time period between the end of the Civil War and their 18th birthday.

Gore is just a spoiled rich kid who is using a phony climate theory to scare people into giving him power in much the same way others with a lust for power used fear of undefinable threats that we don't understand. He thinks if he scares us enough with animations of floods no scientists claim are even possible, we will give him the power he feels he has always been entitled to.

You must be confusing a dream with a nightmare

Dear Mary,

Thanks for your letter. It made me laugh.

Sincerely,

Al Gore is basically a buffoon. He has been born and raised a southern politician and will lie even when the truth would serve him better. He just doesn't understand that he is despical to perceiving Americans. As for Billary, thank God Obama is going to end her lackluster, pandering career forever.

Note: Strong message to follow!

People like you really scare me.

This would be as bad as a third term of GWB. Excuse me while I go and throw up.

As a (R), I would tend to agree that if Al Gore(D) & (Nobel Prize Recipient) was on the ballot I would be a lot more worried that a (D) will get to be Top Dog. I hope the (D) primary plays out to the last possible moment. I not only find it extremely amusing, but, also feel they (DD), through their internal conflicts, may be helping this country & the world, by practically assuring that a (R) will get another 4 years in that Top Dog position. I also thank them (DD) for the entertainment & the assistance.
