No polices here, but i just think Al Gore wants a free ride off the public again. Want buy some carbon credits to view his show??? Enough is enough Al, get a real job like the rest of us. (like inventing the internet again) :rolleyes:
Remember, this is just my opinion. And you know what they say about opinions, They are like _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _'s and every body has one!

Al Gore couldn't be any worse than the current right-wing religious fanatic, spend money like a drunken sailor, corporate welfare, big government neocon administration.
