2. The book is on its way
Saw the C-Span presentation by Gore about how dire global warming is. Those young kids in the audience got it. Big time.

Should be required reading for any informed American.

8. "Should be required reading...
...for any informed American." I agree...and it wouldn't hurt the uninformed ones to read it, too. :7

7. Posted about it last night.
Gore writes like a man on a mission. A pointed indictment from an insider.

9. "A pointed indictment from an insider,"...
...an insider like a former Vice President of the United States. :)

10. And a United States Senator...
...and the son of a Senator who actually went to Vietnam! Now that is patriotism...



A young Albert Gore Sr. probably while in the House.

11. I bought it yesterday at Cosco and am on chapter one. I was surprised to be reading about how the
brain works in this book. It is going to be a little more scientific then I thought it would be. I think I will be learning more than just reading things I already believe in.
