Hummm Al Gore... ex Vice President.... Global Warming activist... Mr. the glaciers will be gone in a few years the coastlines will all be flooded. Mr. we should get ride of all carbon burning cars and power plants. While I build my 6 million dollar mansion on the California coastline.... which remember, is going to flood in a few years.
If the glaciers never changed, much of our country would still be under ice - including where I live. I suppose Algore would like to go back to the days before fire was discovered - lower emissions that way. LOL
Politics is nothing but a business. Anyone who thinks these people give a rat's you know what about doing what's right have their heads in the sand. The #1 job of all politicians is getting re-elected, period. It begins and ends there. Everything they do is done to position themselves for votes. All together now...TERM LIMITS. If I were king (LOL), there would be no re-elections. You get one term and you're out. Make it 6 years or whatever, but no re-election. Then maybe they'd get something useful done once in awhile (although there would still be plenty of self serving decisions). Government in our country is supposed to be by the people - not career politicians. You serve your term and you get out for the next person to come in and serve. Rev is right - the 2 party system stinks. Even if you get a decent person in there, they end up having to toe the party line. It becomes all about wins and losses and what side you're on (dem or rep) - not about issues. Sorry for the rant and sinicism. I still do vote, by the way. Sometimes I'm not sure why, though.
