And yes, he is also correct that it is astounding that Americans watch so much television. But perhaps it is not the quantity but the quality that matters here. I'm sure people who may watch four or more hours of CURRENT everyday don't bother Mr. Gore ;-). It sure doesn't bother me. What we need is television that educates, inspires, stimulates, and brings about debate. Mr. Gore hopes to see CURRENT reaching 50 million homes by 2010. It is an attainable goal, but only with the help of the people standing up to the status quo by becoming involved in that process instead of supporting it. And as far as political ads are concerned, unfortunately the attention span of many Americans on such matters doesn't go beyond 30 seconds. It truly is sad. That's why I'm thankful to have Al Gore out here amongst the people now to really be able to tell the truth that he would not be able to tell as a candidate for any office in the very corrupt political system that feeds the corporate media beast.
